Help!
I have just completed an Diploma PT 1 course of study. completeted the assisgnments what a headache! Just starting my revision for June 2004 exams - What is the best way to do this? How do you attack Five Volumes of information and retain it ? Has any one got past exam papers with model answers? Does this help?
Regards

If you contact NEBOSH you can get the Examiners reports from past exams. They are really useful as they highlight the points the Examiners were looking for.
In terms of revision, it is always useful to make an early start, give yourself a realistic timetable and practice past exam questions (using the same time allocation as in the exam).
Revising with fellow students is always a good idea as well.
Good luck.
Regards,
Eric

Eric,
Many thanks for your advice I have a number of past examiners reports from past NEBOSH exams, Is it worth doing compresed revision notes on each of the modules..
Is it best to try and answer past questions from memory? or using notes only when there are some areas which you are not sure about?
Again thanks for your help
Calogero

Hi Calogero
When I did my last serious studying - prior to NEBOSH Dip1 presently - BSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering Degree back in 1987 ( Yes I thought I'd finished with formal eduction)I went about revision in this manner.
1 Re write all my notes for that year.
2 Paraphrase the rewrite of all the notes
3 Paraphrase the paraphrase
4 Using "open book" approach answer exam style questions
5 In exam style conditions answer the same exim style questions.
Yes it takes time to do all this - at least one month at 8 hours/day. However the benefit is that you do actually remember some of the stuff.
Well this is the methd I'm going to try next May for the June 2004 exams. If it works I'll let you know
Cheers and best of luck
Kelvin

Hi Kelvin,
Many thanks for your e-mail - I to undertook 6 years of study to obtain City & Guilds qualifications in Electronics Servicing back in 1986. Since then have obtained the NEBOSH certificate. But the level of study required for the PT 1 is far greater than I would of expected.
I will undertake the PT 1 exam in June 2004. I agree with your methodology and approach. I used a similar format to get through the certificate exam.
Have you started the revision yet?
Thanks, and good luck

Hi Calogero,
When I have to revise for an exam, I read sections into a dictaphone then whenever I get a few minutes spare, I listen to it. It is more portable than 5 volumes of info!
