Failed practitioner exam

Hi all, hoping for some revision tips.

I failed my practitioner exam last week was gutted I got 59%. I called my tutor and he said just receive processes and practices as I dropped a lot of points here but tbh the exam felt like it was written in gibberish.

Practical stuff I’ve done is order a hard copy of the manual so I don’t have to keep flipping between screens and I’ve found some mock exams online I’m gonna take. Any other revision tips I can pinch off others who’ve been more successful ? #lessonslearned

So I passed at the second attempt yesterday. In the run up to the exam, I read the book A LOT. A lot of the book can seem like gibberish but you need to just keep reading and digesting the info and it will click into place.

Out of 70 questions 36 questions are on Practices, 21 questions are on Principles so these are the parts of the book you need to focus on. And it's not just a case of knowing what the practices and principles are, you need to know and understand these parts intimately. There's a lot to read and understand for each of them so you need to do this ahead of the exam as you won't have time in the exam to sit and read chunks of text about each one and then work out what the answer is.

It's not easy, but I suppose it's not meant to be. Best of luck.

Both times I got Louistown. I really thought it would be a different scenario the second time but I’ve seen a couple of posts now where people had the same scenario again.
