Nebosh Exam Technique
1. Read the Question Carefully. Be sure you know exactly what
type of information the question is asking for.
2. Time Monitor:-
The 20-mark question in the first section should take
around 25 minutes to answer, with five minutes
reviewing time.
The 8-mark questions in section 2 should take around
eight minutes to answer.
This will leave an accumulated time of ten minutes at
the end of section 2 to review your answers.
It is really easy to spend more time than you should,
providing a fantastic answer to a question that you are
confident about, but this could mean that you don’t
have time to attempt all the other questions.
Equally, if you find a question particularly tough,
sometimes it is better to move on to the next question
and come back to it rather than spend too long trying
to answer it and risk missing other questions out.
3. Mind Map:-
What is Mind Map?
A mind map is a visual representation of hierarchical
information that includes a central idea surrounded by connected
branches of associated topics.
Use of Mind Map:-
The answer plan is your memory aid and can take
the form of a list, or a ‘mind map’ (simple diagram) that helps you
unload information quickly and make sure you have enough factors
(or things) in your answer that will attract the available marks.
4. Command Words and Their Meanings:-
Generally speaking, command words such as
“Explain” and “Describe” require more detail than
“Identify” or “Outline”.
Identify - things, issues, and items. Normally a word or a short
sentence will be enough, providing it is clear.
Define - Provide a generally accepted definition.
Describe - Write down detailed information about the main
features of something. It should be factual and without trying
to explain anything.
Explain - Write down an understanding of an item or issue.
This is checking that you know or understand something. This
word often appears in questions as “Explain how…” or
“Explain why….”
Give - Provide without explanation. Outline - Write down the
important, key points or issues. A long description is not
required. What is needed is a short summary of the key /
important points of what is asked for in the question.
