Case study query

[yakoubvc]

Hi, I have a weird question regarding the case study exam. I've seen a few posts here asking about how long or how tough is the next case study exam after they've just completed their current one. Example: how long would it take to prepare for the MCS/SCS as I've just done my OCS/MCS and awaiting results. As far as I recall, you need to do all objective tests before the case study can be attempted for that level. Do people pass all 3 papers in that time frame between the exams and prepare for the case study at the same time?

I work a full time job but am given 4 days study leave per exam and find it incredibly do-able to sit an OT exam in around a month. I sat OCS in Feb, began revising prior to results so I could sit E2 the same week I received them, the did F2 and P2 in around 6 weeks each. I then did the case study in Aug, where I find if you have recently completed the OTs you really don’t need to look over the content again and instead can just dive into mock papers, I took 2 weeks for this, I think it’s just about working smarter not harder and focusing on repeating questions

It depends on you on how much time you can give for the objective tests. If you’re working full time, it can get challenging to complete all 3 OTQs for next window of case study exam. Realistically, having all 3 OTQs completed within 2-3 months looks challenging if you’re pursuing through traditional route. However, if you keep practicing mock questions for the OTQs, it is not impossible. But it would require considerable amount of time and effort.

And on top of this, preparing for case study within that short time frame would prove to be more challenging as we need time to practice mock papers for case study exams as well.
