Day after the exam

The day after -

I went through all the theory in chapters 1,2,3,6,8 - I also went through all the practice questions on the course home folder and memorized definitions for the end of each section.

That was bad technique because I misunderstood how much emphasis was going to be placed on the practical case studies (50%). I understood that the case studies were not going to be addressed. What was actually assessed in the second half of the exam was recall of the case studies. I was expecting to have to assess a situation in a new case study, or answer short definition questions like the sample exams.
The format of the exam took me by surprise and OK I blew most of the answers and didn't use the words strategic planning.
