Revision Pointers for Network Admin and Security Exam

• Revise whole topics (not just bits of topics) as the exam is split into topic areas, the number of questions linked to the proportion of the course spent on that course
• Remember YOU CAN GET 20 / 20 on these questions, so really good answers will be rewarded. This includes DRAWING DIAGRAMS where appropriate.
• The exam is based on the workshop questions so you should use them to focus your revision.
• Try to plan out your exam, working out how much time you can spend per question (2 hours = 120 minutes and 5 questions means 40 minutes per question) and practice doing this in your revision, using past papers and appropriate workshop questions.
• LEARN the following BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE EXAM ROOM Read the Instruction to Candidates carefully Read ALL the questions first and mark the FIVE you will attempt, and any notes (e.g. formulas) you might need to make things easier Think about the order you will answer the questions (e.g. easiest first, whole questions first etc.) When answering each question CAREFULLY READ IT AGAIN ask yourself WHAT IS THE QUSTION ASKING ME TO DO?
• Finally, remember, the first few questions tend to be more straightforward since they are based on the early part of the course and are meant to encourage you in the exam.
