Description
There are about 2 weeks till the next D3 exams in the WSET Diploma Program. On this occasion, I invited Alex Tsui as my next guest to the podcast to give tips and last minute encouragement for those who sit the exam on 25th of October. Alex has passed the diploma with distinction recently and won the SOGRAPE prize for his extraordinary achievement, plus he is the moderator of the most popular and active WSET Study Group on Facebook, and the creator of many helpful study guides. On the side, he is a PhD student at Oxford, so wine is basically just a hobby. I think it tells a lot about this humble man who I enjoyed talking to very much. You can also find some helpful links in the description that might ease some burden on your shoulders and help you get the most out of your preparation. Please vote on the question asked in the show notes and share this piece with anyone who might get something out of it.  4:45 – Why does Alex help others pass the Diploma? 8:45 – How to approach the study material? 16:15 – Flash Cards and other methods to learn 24:45 – Chat GPT and other resources 41:20 – Frameworks and structuring 46:30 – What to do 2-3 weeks before the exam?! 53:40 - Predictions More info: www.wineghosts.com Diploma Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/5186994742/ Amble Wine Maps:https://amblewine.com/
