Hello Learners!

Today we are going to discuss some tips from our experienced learners who have cleared the exam with more score on the first attempt itself.

Start your preparation right now!

To start off with, if you want to clear your exam without wasting your time then it is recommended that you should start preparing as early as possible (in other words, start preparing now). In order to help you out with the preparation, we are here with some valuable tips that will surely guide you towards success.

Choose proper ways to save time for your study!

By choosing a good learning partner, you will not face any hurdle in the preparation process because all the resources and tools are available for the candidates who want to clear their exams, like NEBOSH books, tutorials, free e-books, free online study materials, and many more. You don’t need to waste your time and money on any other resources because the materials provided by NEBOSH are enough for the candidate to complete their exams on the first attempt successfully.

While the NEBOSH IGC is assumed to be one of the most difficult exams, it is actually one of the easiest but trickiest exams if you are able to prepare well for future workplace challenges. You could pass the exam on the first attempt if you are able to prepare yourself properly with guidance from a recognised learning partner, using good study materials as mentioned earlier.

Prefer NEBOSH materials:

Your daily schedule can be one of the major hindrances in the preparation process as you don’t have the time to complete all your objectives which results in last minute preparations and panic. You can eliminate unnecessary or irrelevant materials while preparing for your exam so that you can make effective use of your time and prepare your materials for the best. It is difficult to focus your mind in the absence of the best study materials and a proper schedule, so you must be strong and determined to achieve your goals, and you will be able to make the right decisions.

Invigilated Paper-based Exam vs OBE:

When compared to traditional (paper-based) exams, the NEBOSH IGC open book exam (OBE) is now easier to pass if you go through workplace scenarios with proper understanding of concepts and their correct implementation with asked questions using technical points/keywords according to allotted marks/number of words with respect to each question.

OBE will take out a series of tasks using evidence from the scenario, as well as the underpinning information you have gained via your training and study, whereas paper-based exams will solely test on the technical content you have received during training.

Glance through the steps of NEBOSH IGC Preparation:

• Choose your mode of study (online or offline) as per your convenience.
• Attend all the sessions your trainer conducts, including webinars, on a regular basis
• Take help from your trainer for your preparation.
• Study the NEBOSH syllabus along with the question pattern
• Gather the NEBOSH IGC Exam question papers
• The exam papers you solve (NEBOSH IGC) must have been done in the same way that they are given in the exam hall
• Start preparation according to the schedule

NEBOSH IGC materials (model questions) from a recognized learning partner answer all the sections and important topics covered in the NEBOSH IGC exam. These resources will assist you in achieving a high score on the exam.

As OBE questions are not direct, you must demonstrate analytical, evaluation, and creative skills, as well as critical thinking, in order to pass.

Prepare yourself to

• Research, evaluate, and analyze.
• Create a list of university, government, or any reliable websites for easy references before commencement of exam/ Wikipedia links could only be used for references
• Relate the materials you learn to your workplace, dream job, etc.
• Practice Answering OBE questions while studying
• Apply the concepts and not the exact notes you obtain from the internet, books, etc. Copying, cutting and pasting information from text book or online resources will not provide you with a good answer

• Make your answers precise with a few paragraphs and, if possible, a heading for each para
