What you'll find here

As an ongoing project, we are building up a substantial exam-focused resource site. Not all features may immediately be available for all subjects, but here's what we aim eventually to include for each Unit

Quick start guide (QSG): A brief 40-page overview of the whole subject area - essentially a distillation of the Reference Text so that you can orient yourself before plunging into all the detail. Also very useful as a revision tool.
Practice questions: A collection of exam-standard questions (in most cases, actual questions from past exams), with full suggested solutions.
Upgrade: Additions, updates and corrections (if any!) to the current edition of the Profex Study Packs - and what you need to know if you're using a previous edition. This includes new legislation and other developments that have been announced, or come into effect, after the Study Packs went to press.
Answer finder: Analysis of the latest exam questions, and the lessons that can be learned from them (common pitfalls, examiners' comments). All cross-referenced to where material for an answer can be found in your Profex Study Packs.
In the news: Selected case studies and 'Hot Topics' that have appeared in the press, on the internet or in relevant professional journals.
Use the news: How selected 'In the news' topics relate to points made in your Profex Study Packs, how they might come up in the exam - and how you might use them in your answers.
Mark maximisers: A variety of other tools to focus your revision and beef up your exam answers, including: recent articles and examples, key definitions and quotes, memory-boosters and links to other relevant web sites.
Test me on this: Short-answer quizzes, to test your syllabus coverage.
