ITEE FE study plan

Map the strategy-and-management domain into its sub-areas and rank them by your current confidence so later weeks target the weakest ground first

Write out from memory the core vocabulary of organisational strategy (mission, objectives, competitive advantage, value chain) and check each definition against a reference text

Draft a one-page decision checklist you can apply to any scenario question about aligning IT investment with business goals

Solve 15 strategy scenario questions under a 90-second-per-question limit and log every wrong answer with its root cause

Compare the main management frameworks you are expected to know and produce a comparison table stating when each applies

Explain in writing how budgeting, risk, and stakeholder management interact in an IT project, using one worked example

Practise translating a vague business request into measurable objectives and success criteria

Re-attempt the week 1 error log questions and confirm each is now answered correctly with a stated reason

Inventory the technology domain into hardware, networks, data, security, and software sub-areas and rate your confidence in each

Draw from memory a layered model of a typical enterprise system and label each layer's function

Summarise the security fundamentals you must recognise (confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorisation) with one concrete example each

Answer 20 technology recall questions and separate knowledge gaps from careless mistakes

Work through calculation-style technology problems (capacity, availability, throughput) until you can do each type without notes

Explain database normalisation and transaction properties in your own words with a small worked table example

Describe how network addressing and common protocols fit together in a single end-to-end request walkthrough

Review all technology errors from weeks 3 and 4 and rewrite each as a rule you can apply next time

Break the development-and-operations domain into requirements, design, testing, delivery, and operations and rate each sub-area

Write out the stages of a development lifecycle and state the key artefact produced at each stage

Distinguish unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing by purpose and produce a table of when each is used

Draft a short operations runbook covering incident handling, change control, and backup verification

Explain how service management practices connect to business strategy and give two examples where poor operations hurt strategic goals

Solve 15 development-and-operations scenario questions and justify each answer in one sentence

Revisit the strategy confidence table from week 1 and re-rate every sub-area using evidence from your practice scores

Identify the three weakest sub-areas across all domains and write a targeted revision task for each

Complete one timed mixed-domain practice set covering all three domains in proportion to their exam weighting

Analyse every incorrect answer and tag it as knowledge gap, misreading, or time pressure

Re-teach your three weakest sub-areas by writing a short explainer for each without consulting notes

Build a one-page formula and definition sheet covering the facts you most often forget

Take two full timed mock exams under exam conditions and record section-level scores

Close remaining gaps by reworking only the questions tagged as knowledge gaps in weeks 7 and 8

Recite your formula and definition sheet from memory and correct any drift

Plan exam-day logistics including timing strategy for scenario questions and a checklist of what to bring
