    Make sure your answers always address the question asked.

    This is the danger involved in learning off essays - unless the essay happens to be on the exact question you are asked, you could write pages of 'a great answer' and get about 25% for it. From observations by people who viewed scripts, more and more often the SEC examiners are looking out for (and penalising) memorised essays.

    Do not think if something didn't come up last year, it will come up this year. A lot of people did this on here last year and were going mental over it. Luckily, I was one of the few who was happy enough with the paper.

    For the case studies, it's a good idea to remember a timeline of events that occured rather than a giant essay. It really worked well for my essay on the lockout and the five year plans last year.

    Best of luck with it all.
