Answer 1

Hello Steve ,

Today I gave the Mock exam .... In Section A & B I have got 32 marks. I have made silly mistakes. But the way they are  asking questions will make me Confuse. How to improve my performance in Section A & B.

Hi Shahid, 32% on A & B is a good score for a mock :) well done.
The best way to improve your performance with the OTs (sections A & B) is more practice with three things:
1. Reading for detail. First, you understand the requirement, then go into the text of the question and find the info you need.
2. Knowing common templates. Many questions follow a standard template, or pro-forma. Jot down the template on scratch paper or in the scratch pad--this well help you save time with your calculations and stay organised.
3. Carefully review all the answer options. Before you look for the right answer, see what you can eliminate first. This is a good way to study as well, understanding why all the wrong answers are wrong. Also, if you work from the approved publisher books, the answers often show you how the wrong answers were incorrectly calculated.
If you practice doing these three things this last week and a half, I'm sure you'll do even better in the OT sections :)

Answer 2

Hi Steve. When we are using the spreadsheet tool, but want to write narrative, can we assume the examiner will click on the cell to read the full text? I can't work out how to make it visible - no text box or merge cell options like there are in Excel. Thanks

Hi Penelope,
If you write sentences in a cell to the left of a completed cell, what you write will be covered by the contents of that adjacent cell. So just go down some rows until you have space
to write sentences, unblocked by anything.
