n my experience, building a knowledge of the syllabus and getting a revision schedule ready will only help you when the exam comes in February - no need to wait for the pre-seen to begin! The problem is, there are three whole modules within the CIMA operational syllabus, how can you pick out just the most important snippets of information from so much?
This is where we come in! To help you out when it comes to your core syllabus revision, we have created a study text specially designed to highlight only the key content that you are likely to be tested on in the case study exam from a theoretical point of view. You can find a sample chapter from this study text here: OCS Study Text Part Two
Our OCS Study Texts are a great place to start your revision. Our OCS Study Text is split into two parts:
• Part One - How to pass the Operational Case Study - This text covers every part of the exam from every possible angle - from time management to writing approach.
• Part Two - Theory and the Operational Case Study - This text takes the entire syllabus and condenses it down, covering all the key theories and models from E1, P1 and F1 likely to be tested on in the case study exam.
Manage your time now!
How you manage your revision now will have a huge impact upon your exam performance. Over a third of November OCS students surveyed recently said Time Management was one of the key factors they wished they had been better prepared for in the exam. Lots of students put the pre-seen and the theory above everything else when preparing for their exams, forgetting some of the more basic elements including time management.
Although the pre-seen may change for every sitting and the theory is something you'll need to apply to the pre-seen, some factors remain constant. It is important that you know exactly what these factors are and how you can overcome them to gain the extra few marks that could mean the difference between a pass and a fail...
• Be concise - We advise that you write 3-4 paragraphs per point, any more than this will mean that you are waffling and therefore are wasting time. If you are struggling for time, 2 lines per point should be absolute the minimum.
• Never look at the pre-seen in the exam - The advantage of having a pre-seen exam, is that you should be able to know the pre-seen inside out well before you sit down in your exam. There should therefore be no need to look at the pre-seen at all during the exam.
• Don't re-read the unseen once your plan is created - Once you have skim read the unseen, you can read it once more, this time creating a plan as you go. After this you should not need to revisit it.
For a more interactive approach to your learning, why not check out our OCS Course Video samples too! This series covers content similar to the content above from Study Text Part 1, but in a video format, giving much more of an in-depth analysis of the topics.

P.S. The OCS study texts are accessible online, but both parts are also printable to ensure you can use them whenever and wherever it suits you at this early stage in your revision.
