I'm about to sit 2 subjects in CT4 and CT6 in April. I failed my first exam CT6 last year. Could anyone tell me what the trick really is to passing these subjects ? Everyone tells me to practice loads and loads of questions under timed conditions and some people tell me you have to study 3 hours every night after work. I find it hard to study that much as my brains been drained from the PC. Its fair to say you have to do loads of questions, but there are just too many and they take ages to go through thoroughly. Applied maths is not as easy as stats and pure maths. The examiners I know from experience can easily put in a question which is not standard on a particular topic which is what ruined my first exam. Having practiced loads of questions for this sitting, I still fear the exam will almostly certainly turn out to be what is not expected. And hearing of the low pass rates from some exams last year, my theory is correct. If the exam was as standard as uni/A level exams I'm sure the pass rates would be a lot higher.
I would appreciate some advice from those that passed these subjects.
