Thanks to those of you that have taken the time to complete our MCS survey!
We've been looking at your feedback very carefully and here is a summary of the key points:
Almost 60% of respondents found the exam to be 'more difficult' than they anticipated, with only 9% finding it 'easier'.
Time management was stated as an issue by many students emphasising the need for mock practise.
Other comments indicated that many students found they had a good understanding of the theory and the pre-seen but said they found it difficult to apply both of these within the exam questions.
Relating to this, students found it difficult to understand the requirements of some of the questions.
Over 50% of students concluded that they should have spent more time on mock exams.
Industry research was not considered to be as important as expected - 42% said they would have done less research on the industry. BUT students should note that in the recent MCS examiner's report, the lack of Industry awareness shown in student's answers was criticised - so future MCS students should not abandon industry research entirely!
Here are 5 great tips from the survey for future students:
- Complete as many mock exam as you can
- Get to grips with the pre-seen early in your revision
- Make sure you've revised the entire syllabus
- Typing speed is key
- Become an expert on time management
If you've not yet completed the survey we would love to hear from you - MCS Survey.
