Top Examiner Tips
Expert advice for exam success
- •Ensure your portfolio of evidence explicitly maps to each of the knowledge, skills, and behaviours in the assessment plan; use the EPA checklist to track coverage.
- •In the professional discussion, use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) technique to structure responses, clearly linking theory to practice.
- •For the project presentation, focus on demonstrating added value to the business through your administrative improvements, not just describing what you did.
