The paper requires student to answer 4 questions out of the six questions availble from the question paper. Knowing that the paper has two sections , is it possible or allowed to answer randomly ignoring the sections [ ie Q1, Q4, Q2, & Q3 or Q5] or students are strictly to answer within the sections?
February 16, 2014 at 12:28 pm #158968You can attempt the four questions in any sequence you want.
However, I worry that you believe that the paper requires you to answer 4 from 6.
I’ve been telling my students since December 2007 that you MUST answer questions 1 and 2 and then any 2 from the remaining 3 questions.
It’s 4 out of 5, not 4 out of 6
February 18, 2014 at 5:37 am #159188Is the format different from other papers like P1 P2 and P3 where we have one case study and then answer 2 out of 3
Is the time sufficient then to answer 4 questions?
Sorry for my stupid question – I will be attempting P7 in June and have not yet started studying. What are the most important things I have to worry about here?
Thanks Mike!

Now, your next question! And what a question! Is there sufficient time to answer 4 questions? Was there sufficient time to answer 10 questions in F4? Or 5 questions in F7? Or 50 questions in F3 (old format) or 37 questions in F3 (new format)?
Oh dear! There are 3 hours + 15 minutes reading and planning time for P7. Of course you have time to answer 4 questions – you have 3 hours and 15 minutes. You may WANT there to be more time, or even fewer questions, but that’s the way it is. For everyone!
Most important things to worry about? Professionalism, fundamental knowledge, working knowledge of IAS / IFRS, time allocation, correct interpretation of the requirements of the questions, correct appreciation of the verbs used in the requirements, exam technique ….. the list is endless. Stop planning what you are going to worry about and get stuck in to your studies. And then PRACTICE, practice and more practice past exam questions
