Title: Question about old study design exams
Post by: mystikal on August 18, 2009, 08:07:09 pm
If i were to do the practice exams shud i do them in timed conditions allocated for the present study design for old study design exams. or should i just follow the old times for the old study design? Which one shud be done tech free and which one shud be in tech able? Because Exam 1 of old study design has MC but it has short answers which are normally done in tech free, whereas the analysis tasks are tech able questions i assume. Or shud i do the exam1 MC with the analysis task as an tech able exam and the SA as tech free? i dont know lols im confused  i just dont want to mess up my timing thats all...

Yea, it's 2 days later so you might have gotten an answer already but..

- You could use the marks to allocate time.
- As for whether you should do SA without a calculator, if they're asking for decimals, then you probably can't.

Haven't looked at many methods exams yet so I don't know for sure sorry.
