Paper D Methodology

Methodology for dealing with the most common situations in the D exam. By the end of this course, you will understand how to score high points on D for the things that you know well and the things you do well. You will understand what must be handed-in to get points, and you will have practiced a proven approach for generating answers. We will discuss alternative answers and different styles that can also score points. You will also be given many rules-of-thumb to guide this approach, based on our many years of EQE experience. We will also provide practical tips about how to organize your reference materials, how to study, what to take to the exam and how to divide your time between DI and DII parts. Where relevant, we will use WISEflow, giving you the opportunity to get familiar with the system used during the e-EQE.
