That's a relief, but i still worry about my AS grades, since they're the foundation for my predictions...
ISC 1000 Qs was way more difficult than the actual thing, but i found the SJT to be accurate, and the VR wasn't a whole lot harder, I thought.
Medify is an amazing resource and was definitely in line with the difficulty of the exam. It was only slightly harder, i thought.
You've got plenty of time before your exam, so i wouldn't suggest starting until at the earliest around results day (18th).
VR is a pain, but you just need to practice loads. Practice skim reading and quickly extracting information and is really important that you find your own technique - one that works for you. Personally, i would try answer the question first (i always guessed CT) and then i would test it against the passage, looking for the relevant information as quickly as i could, without trying to take anything in. Sort of like trial and improvement.
DM i decided to do it since it kept me semi-focussed ,i should have just gone on to the next section once i finished as i found that i had way too much time for it.
QR is really about timing and quick mental maths. If there's a question that you're really struggling on, guess an answer, flag the question and move on, you don't want to get caught up with that. Make use of the whiteboard but doing rely on it too much. Just jot down numbers you won't remember during a calculation. Also, remember to use the keyboard for the calculator, before you start, make sure you can use the number pad and num lock is on. It will save you so much time!
AR is just practice. When you start, it is so intimidating (especially if you use the ISC book
) but once you get used to it, it is actually pretty easy. The questions in the exam usually only have relationship between the sets, so bear that in mind. Timing isn't much of an issue once you get used to it, which you will after loads of practice (read what the ISC 1000 Qs says on AR, it is very useful!) But you should always just skip over questions and flag them when you don't know after a while. I think I had 2 sets of questions (18% of the section) which i had pretty much no clue on, which i ended up guessing, and i still got 790, so if there are a few that you have no idea with, it's not the end of the world, just move on and come back to later.
SJT isn't bad, just practice and get used to what it wants. Do bear in mind that it's what you should do, not what you would do!
Hope this helped
