Todays Update
Today I made a word document and made notes on the exam. I bullet pointed the main tasks and what was involved in each activity. These notes will help me plan out each step in the different activities and will allow me to easily map out each answer. I also added the timings in the notes so I have a rough idea on how long to dedicate to each activity. My overall opinion on the exam is that after spending more time looking at it I feel like I know what I need to research to best achieve a pass. -
