With so many exam sittings at this time of year, there’s lots of reminders to give. ***TODAY is the last day to book for J02*** Got an exam voucher on your dashboard and intending on sitting J02? Well, quick sticks! We’ve known candidates so engrossed in their exam prep, they’ve forgotten to book the actual exam😬 Great prep is…well - great, but you wouldn’t want to have to wait a whole six month for another sitting to put all of that prep into action. #J02 #J02exam #J02September2024 #BTS #examsupport

A reminder that Natalie will be running our #R06 Reflect Webinar tomorrow at 1pm. See event details on how to register. It's always better to attend the live event to have the opportunity to ask any burning questions but if you can' attend, please don't worry, the session will be recorded and uploaded to the BTS Careers Zone later in the day. Who's coming? 🤔 #R06webinar #webinar #examsupport
As you know, we celebrate the successes and also support our candidates when things haven’t quite gone to plan. We want to give candidates the best support for future sittings and with all of this in mind, we are putting on another FREE webinar to reflect on this last R06 sitting. Why are we doing this? We want to pinpoint the most challenging areas, focus on the pain points and look at why things may have gone wrong - hopefully preventing it from happening again. What will the webinar cover? Focusing specifically on the October 2023 R06 exam, we will cover: • The feedback received from the examiner, including strengths and weaknesses in candidate responses. • Where candidates went wrong and how to develop answers to achieve maximum marks • Key words within question stems to ensure you are answering what the examiner is actually asking.
