Hello,
This is my first time taking this paper and I was feeling really good but now I feel really down because i have not covered risk performance topic at all. i don’t even feel like doing as it’s full of theory and I hate that.
My question is if I JUST focus on past papers now till exam, what are my chances of passing? I am confident with decision making, costing and variances.
How are you all revising last week or so?
November 20, 2013 at 2:03 pm #146971what about budgeting and performance appraisal? you need to be comfortable with those too as they appear on all exams. ensure that you read all the articles published espcially the most recent ones. you mentioned variances i hope you mean advance variances such as mix and yeild and planning and operational.
in order to pass f5 you need to know both theory and numerical and practice a good rev kit helps.
November 20, 2013 at 2:22 pm #146977Yes I know budgeting. Performance appraisal is where I lack 🙁
where can I find published articles? Yes I am comfortable with variances.
Exactly, so if i do ALL the papers and pass them then is that okay for me to face real exam?
November 20, 2013 at 3:19 pm #146986performance appraisal is in all sittings once you are comfortable with the entire syllabus and practice as many pass exam questions as possible you are at least guranteed a 50%. reading all the technical articles on the ACCA website also helps.
November 20, 2013 at 5:15 pm #147021I just find 2012 and june 2013 really hard I hope it’s not like that!!
I want more of decision based and ABC!!!!
November 20, 2013 at 7:16 pm #147048Do not rely soley on past papers. Try reading techincal articles & study text.
BTW, i passed F5 without practicing Past Papers.
November 20, 2013 at 7:41 pm #147052How did you revise? what book?
Also first time?
November 21, 2013 at 9:16 pm #147292I picked Kaplan. I had very limited time so bpp was not an option.
If you need any kind of help, i’d be glad to help 🙂
November 21, 2013 at 9:33 pm #147294and yeah first time !
November 21, 2013 at 9:38 pm #147295Well done! I am having trouble in assessing financial performance!
Also what is non financial performance!
I just don’t get any of divisional and bonus stuff 🙁
November 21, 2013 at 9:49 pm #147299Surprisingly, all of them are easy or maybe, i think that way 😀
maybe on chat ?
