Exam in 48 hours? Use the time deliberately
There is no published universal topic-priority list that applies across every CeMAP unit. With two days left, use your own performance data, the learning outcomes for the unit you are sitting and a fresh timed mock to decide what deserves attention.
If you have barely started the syllabus, consider whether sitting now is sensible. If you have already studied, the plan below can help organise the time you have left.
1. Identify the actual unit
Revise for the unit you are sitting, not a generic CeMAP list. FRE1 and FRE2 use 40-mark papers with standalone and linked questions; MRT1 is 50 standalone MCQs; MRT2 is 40 standalone MCQs; ASEW/ASSC is six 10-question linked case studies.
2. Sit one fresh timed mock
Use the correct time limit and do not look things up. Record which learning outcomes and question types caused errors. The mock is diagnostic; it does not guarantee what you will score in the real assessment.
3. Spend most of the remaining revision on demonstrated gaps
- Revisit rules or concepts you repeatedly missed.
- Check current figures against up-to-date material.
- For case-study units, practise extracting the fact in the scenario that changes the answer.
- Review why each distractor is wrong, not only which answer is correct.
4. Use a different timed paper later
A second fresh variant is more informative than repeating the same mock from memory. Compare the topic pattern as well as the total percentage.
5. Use the final period for review and exam setup
Avoid cramming large amounts of brand-new content. The current qualification specification says exams are delivered through Brightspace with remote invigilation and require a 360-degree scan of your testing space, so make sure your equipment and space are ready.
About the four-question PassIQ™ check
It is a starting study-profile estimate, not a calibrated pass probability and not a substitute for a knowledge diagnostic. Quiz and mock results provide the useful performance evidence for deciding what to revisit.
