Posted By Jason Gould WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN HOW is one method when considering hazards and risk. piece of cake mr = policy organisation control monitor & review. Always try to include information instruction and training. Best thing we did was to get together and test each other. Even in twos this can help considerably. Each one pick a subject and go over it with each other. All I can Suggest As for NEBOSH exams is revision revision revision. It is worth it at the end. Good Luck Jason (was sick before exam)

Posted By Alison2328 thanks for the tips Jason, too be honest feel sick already! Thanks again, unfortunately i did course in Plymouth and I'm from Bristol, so no-one is close to me. But the sayings will come in handy. thanks

Posted By Kirsty Bryson Alison I agree with Steve - past papers and examiners reports are definately a good idea. I found the examiners reports in particular helpful as they gave questions and the answers that the examiners were expecting (not always very obvious!). As Steve says the questions in the past papers often pop up again. Good Luck

Posted By Peter Lee Read the Question, Read the Question, Read the Question. Underline all the salient points in the question eg: Young, elderly, new starters, describe, explain, etc etc. ALWAYS start with an answer plan in pencil then underline it before you start your answer (you can gain extra marks for putting things in your answer plan that you might not put in your answer). An answer plan is basically a Brain Storm (think the politically correct term now is Thought Shower) scribble down all you can think of it helps you structure your answer better. TIME MANAGEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT work out before the exam how long you can spend on each question AND STICK TO IT, (put your watch down in front of you on the desk) most of your marks will be gained in the first few minutes of your answer, don't spend an extra few minutes trying to get a few extra marks START THE NEXT QUESTION. Learn to associate words with answers e,g SREDIM, POPMAR, etc. Think Laterally, if a question states it is JULY ask yourself why ? Hot weather etc etc.

Posted By Rob Beazley I have just finished my course in Southampton for which I got a referal as did many of my collegues ,we had a revision day at college which was helpful to a point . We all agreed that our tuition was pretty poor out of a supposed 80 odd hours we only managed 67 but I will be sitting it again in Dec and will pass this time .use the old exam papers we had some of the questions come up on our exam

Posted By Jim Brown Alison My general response to your query is on technique. I'm sure you have studied well and won't have a problem. Take time to read the questions over first before putting pen to paper, then answer the 'easy' ones first and leave the remaining time to apply your mind to the others. Good luck and feel free to discuss at jim@bioforce.co.uk

Posted By Alison2328 Looking back you are absolutely right! for anyone who is looking at doing this course I truely think the best way is over a long period of time so you can digest the information. I've not passed yet, so fingers crossed!!!!!!
