Don't miss anything!
Whether you are sitting your case study exam for the first time or re-sitting, a SWOT analysis can really help you to focus on where you can improve your chances of success and provide some ideas of how you might do that. See our completed example on page 2 for ideas of what you might include.
Strengths
Competencies where I achieved ‘strong’ performance or where I feel strong
Topics, models, techniques I feel confident about (list them out)
I manage my time well in the exams
I understand what the examiner is looking for
When practicing past papers, I can identify all requirements and sub requirements in the exam and provide in depth answers to all
I study with a Learning Provider/will attend a case study course of some kind
Weaknesses
Competencies where I ‘failed’ or where I think I might fail
Topics, models, techniques where I am not sure I know or understand enough (list them out)
I tend to run out of time and so am unable to answer all parts of all questions
I‘m not familiar with the format of the exam and so will waste time trying to work things out
I haven’t studied the pre-seen well enough and so will have to keep referring back to it in the exam
I know I am weak on (list topics) from my E2/P2/F2 studies and will struggle if I don’t spend enough time revising these before the exam
I always hope to get lucky with the questions instead of preparing well
Other people say the case studies are ‘common sense’ so I risk underestimating the preparation required
It’s a long time since I completed my OTs
Opportunities
(For those re-sitting) To build on competencies where I scored ‘moderate’
To practice past questions to time to improve my time management in the exam
