Study Tips to Beat the Deadline
Our tutors have helped thousands of learners pass CeMAP — here are their top strategies for success:
- Plan your revision early. Work backwards from your chosen exam date and schedule study time for each topic.
- Use specimen papers as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the end — practise regularly to build familiarity with LIBF’s exam style.
- Simulate exam conditions. Sit mock exams under timed conditions to build confidence.
- Study little and often. Short, regular sessions are more effective than last-minute cramming.
- Prioritise smartly. If you have already started you studies and currently in middle of CeMAP 1 you may decided to prioritise the CeMAP 1 first, as this module will be changing to Level 4 with a new case study exam format under the new syllabus. Then look at switching for the CeMAP 2 & 3 that will have the less impact on your studies.
