With examination season looming, we took a timely tour of the tips and techniques that could give you the edge in your exams.
Host, Richard Allum, was joined by two guests:
Natalie Dawes is an Academy Support Adviser with Bespoke Training Solutions (or BTS). Natalie provides ‘side-by-side’ learning support that can be adapted to meet the different needs of candidates who are preparing for professional exams.
Not only is Alan Gow one of the UK’s most experienced outsourced paraplanners but, as a Chartered Financial Planner, Fellow of the Personal Finance Society and a CISI Accredited Paraplanner, the Argonaut Paraplanning founder knows a thing or two about about qualifications and how to achieve them.
During the one-hour lunchtime Assembly, Natalie and Alan shared insights into revision tips and exam techniques that have worked for them or the candidates they work with.
From revision tips from seasoned exam sitters to thoughts on how to study together in groups, a group of paraplanners share best practice on revision and exam preparation.
