CIPS L3M1 Questions and Answers PDF part 1 DOWNLOAD

Why students fail CIPS L3M1 procurement and supply environments

One of frequently asked question by CIPS students is..

“Is CIPS L3M1 difficult?”

The reality is that, just like most CIPS modules in level 3, CIPS L3M1 is not difficult if you understand how CIPS ask questions.

This is true whether you are looking to pass CIPS CR exams or CIPS OR exams

The questions in CIPS level 3 are actually objective response exam questions (OR exams), which means you are given questions with multiple choice answers to choose from.

So, why do students fail this module?

Students commonly fail because they are:

1. Memorising notes instead of practising questions

The thing is while reading CIPS L3M1 revisions notes looks like a good idea, if you are not attempting CIPS L3M1 exam questions you are only doing 40% of the work

Passing CIPS exams requires;

• Active practice of questions
• Attempting mock exams
• Understanding procurement scenarios
• And understating exam command words

The rule is 60% of your effort should go towards exam practice and 40% towards revisions notes

2. Ignoring high-frequency exam topics

Am not saying that you should try to predict what the CIPS exams will test but certain topics repeatedly appear in CIPS level 3 procurement and supply environment exams

For example in learning outcome 1 assessment criteria 1 expects you to define the different types and functions of the private sector

What exactly should you know here?

You should know what the general entities under private sector are, in this case;

• Sole traders
• Partnerships
• Registered companies
• Incorporated companies
• Unincorporated companies
• SMEs
• Multinational corporations

And generally these entities will fall under two categories

1. Unincorporated associations – in which the entities and the owner are the same and have unlimited liability when it comes to the parties they are dealing with
2. Incorporate association – which are entities that have a separate existence from that of their owners and their liability is limited to the nature of transaction they are involved in

You must also understand the goals and objectives of these entities for example;

• Profit objectives
• Growth
• Market share
• Share price
• Corporate social responsibility

In short for each module;

1. The learning outcome tells you what you are expected to understand in the given section
2. The assessment criteria tells you area you will be assessed on
3. And the indicative content (the content under assessment criteria) gives you a clue of things you must know and expect in the CIPS exams

How to pass CIPS L3M1 first time

Since your goal is actually to pass your CIPS L3M1 exams then make sure that;

1. While using the revision notes you understand the concepts not just rushing to finish the chapter
2. Practice questions daily, remember the 60-40 rule we talked about earlier
