For units utilising multiple choice questions) The specimen examination in the exam guide was not a true reflection of the difficulty of the exam?
Although the specimen examination in the guide is typical of an examination, it should be noted that it is not possible to test every single aspect of the syllabus in any one particular examination. The specimen examinations are compiled from the same question bank as the actual examinations, and are set to the same syllabus, using the same test specification. To prepare properly for the examination, candidates should make full use of the tuition options available and read as widely as possible to ensure that the whole syllabus has been covered. They should also endeavour to keep as up-to-date as possible with developments in the industry by reading the periodicals listed in the reading list, which is located on the syllabus and on the CII website at www.cii.co.uk.
