🎙️13 may be unlucky for some, but not when it comes to Episode 13 of Operations Unpacked!🎙️

Struggling with exam stress? You're not alone – we’re here to help! Colin Anderson and I were chuffed to be joined once again by the brilliant Paul Darroch (Groden) as we discussed Exam Preparation.

In just under an hour we unpacked:

🎓 Exam formats including multiple choice, narrative exams, and practical assessments
✍Top tips on revision strategy
📚 CISI resources such as revision express, past papers, CISI TV, magazine articles and of course, the Operations Unpacked podcast!  
😎 The importance of personal resilience and how to foster this mentality
🤖 The benefits and drawbacks of using AI
📝 Some of the biggest exam problem areas including bonds, equities, and derivatives
 
This episode provides a roadmap for effective exam preparation that will help students to approach their exams with confidence and clarity. Remember, it's not just about the content, but also mastering your mindset! What exams are you preparing for right now? I’d love to hear about your approach in the comments.
