9) Absolutely revise theory the most!! Its useful to do industry analysis but very hard to make such points in the exam under exam conditions. I was very confident in my industry analysis but very disappointed in the fact that i found only 1 chance to talk about in a 3 hour exam.
10) Do more practice of CIMA past exams Q&A's and Astranti mocks Q&A. Refer Astranti text material (which is excellent summarized material to the point to clarify concept if needed). If done this, there is a bright chance that they can pass OCS exam in the first attempt.
11) Practice your time management by completing mock exams a few times before the real exam, it would be almost impossible to successfully sit the exam without experiencing this beforehand at least once
12) Getting a wider view on the subject by not just relying on information from the CIMA syllabus
13) Look after yourself psychically and emotionally too!
14) Practice as many questions as possible
