Hassan Dosani lectures on yt

Cleared 70% on my second attempt and this is my last paper! In my first attempt on June
2021, I got 49. This time I prepared in 2 weeks’ time.

1. I printed notes from here and studied only this (targeted to study around 25/30 pages every
day so I can complete in 6-7 days)
I didn’t memorize any Model but I understood the concept of each model and imagined the
possible scenarios in which I could use and made short notes.

2. Gave a quick read of most SBL technical articles.

3. Started attempting Mock from Day 3. Attempted 6 papers in total each one every alternate
day in CBE Platform. None of the exam I finished on time, but I completed the paper to
evaluate myself on the quality of the answer. I scored between 42-53% max.

4. Just gave a reading of the mock papers on BPP text to understand what type of answers is
expected to get maximum score.

5. I watched Hassan Dossani video all 5 day webinar (I suggest skip day 1 first one hour and
watch the rest it at 1.50/1.75X playback speed). I learnt the formats, number of valid points to
make and how to answer questions with weaknesses and recommendations.

6. While practicing on the CBE Platform, after reading the overview, for each task I started
writing on the word processer this way, so my answers are structured (Which took 15 min-
20min in proper bold and font size):
1(a)
Report
To : Board of Directors
From : Alex Larsen
Subject : Tender for the contract for the construction of the new road in Betal
Date: XX/XX/XXXX
This report evaluates “copy paste the content mentioned in the Task”
Make 7 Points ; scepticism – Question why?! -18 min (all in bold) (later when I start my
answer I write my finish time here)
And then I would read all the exhibits. (My aim was to finish this within 30 minutes) and
then start the answers. (I would suggest please do not use pen and paper in this exam cos in
my first attempt I invested 15 min planning on paper but ran short of time and left 15 marks)
But please keep attempting papers on CBE to find your own comfortable way of approaching
the scenario.

7. To make one point / write one para I try to write 3 lines:


a. What is happening in the scenario first
b. Why it is happening or happened or why it is important or significant?
c. So what? What will happen in the future? Its consequences?

Sorry about the lengthy post. For those who weren’t lucky this time, please don’t give up. All
the very best!!

ID SAY POINT 6 IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THIS EXAM
