After the time limit, go back over your work with a different color or on a separate piece of paper and try to answer the questions you are unsure of. Record your ideas in the margins to remind yourself of what you were thinking when you take it up at PASS. The purpose of this mock exam is to give you practice answering questions in a timed setting and to help you gauge which aspects of the course content you know well, and which require further development and review. Use this mock exam as a learning tool in preparing for the actual exam. Please note: · Complete the mock exam before attending the take-up session. During the session, you can work with other students to review your work. · Often, there is not enough time to review the entire exam in the PASS workshop.

The Facilitator’s role is to help students work together to compare and assess the answers they have. If you are not able to attend the PASS workshop, you can work alone or with others in the class. · PASS worksheets and mock exams are designed as a study aid only for use in PASS workshops. Worksheets and mock exams may contain errors, intentional or otherwise. It is up to the student to verify the information contained within by attending the PASS workshop.
