The Study Advice section of the Checkmate Training web site offers OSPRE Part I candidates professional guidance and information on study, revision, the examination process and the examination itself. This training support is provided by acknowledged experts in the OSPRE Part I field. The page will be updated to include further articles of interest to the Part I candidate when appropriate. At present there are 3 articles which are available (click the links below).

Article One: Reading Speed
Abstract: This article gives advice on reading speed and on how Sergeants' candidates might approach the manuals from a time perspective. It informs candidates how long the manuals take to read (based on average reading speed). This is illustrated in two tables which show reading time under a manual and chapter heading (table 1) and by reading time in ascending order (table 2).

Article Two: Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) Style
Abstract: This article includes an excerpt from an Oxford University Press publication and illustrates the standard MCQ style that will be used in your examination (and on our 3-day course). It also shows some styles that are no longer used in Part I examinations but are still being proffered by some as acceptable methods of testing knowledge.

Article Three: Revision Methodology
Abstract: This article includes an excerpt from an Oxford University Press publication and describes a variety of revision methods used by successful examination candidates as well as offering advice on revision technique to be avoided.

We hope that these articles prove useful to you in your study. We are always seeking feedback and would welcome any comments you may have. Please email us on checkmatetrain@aol.com
