How to prepare COA for SRM semester exams
Check the syllabus

Collect your COA papers

Revise unit by unit
Work the units in the order above and answer the questions your matrix flagged. The exam strategy guide covers how Part B and Part C answers are marked.
Attempt a full paper under time
Pick a SEM paper you have and attempt it in the three hours with no notes. Note what cost you time, then revise those units again.
