I cannot decide to take this June 2014 exam or Dec 2014 with multipe choices that mounted 40 marks. Which one should i take? I seem to be more confident in multipe choices than problem solving question. Please advice
April 8, 2014 at 4:05 pm #164785Unfortunately, for 2014, I have not had the benefit of sight of the exam 3 / 9 months before the exam is set before the students so I’m unable to advise.
What I CAN say is that the difficulty of the December 2014 exam is not going to be radically different than the difficulty of the June 2014 exam.
These are professional exams earning successful students a professional qualification. They should not be viewed as an easy passage into ACCA. Remember that, once you’re qualified, this represents availability to be appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the biggest multi-national group of companies in the World (who is also ACCA qualified)
Do you wish to compare your success in (in your words) your greater confidence of attempting multiple choice exams with the more testing problem solving exams?
My advice is “Accept what appears in front of you be it multiple choice or problem solving. Get yourself properly prepared and give it your best shot”. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend deferring an exam attempt simply on the basis that a proposed format may appear (probably illogically) to be possibly easier
The examiner is a professional person. The ACCA is a professional organisation. You current / future employer is looking for an employee who is capable of passing professional exams and who demonstrates the characteristics of a professional. It is irrelevant that those exams may have been problem solvers or multiple choicers.
Some of the qualified people with whom you come into contact may well have done the old IT paper. Some may have done an old exam called General Commercial Knowledge. And those same people will not have done the exam Governance, Risk and Ethics.
You take what you’re given, do your best, become qualified and get yourself a good job that will compensate you for the hard work that you had to do in the process of getting that qualification
OK?
🙂
April 8, 2014 at 4:19 pm #164787Thank you for enlightenment. I would do my best to the forthcoming June 2014 F7 paper.

hello, well it depends upon you, yes multiple choices sound easy or probably are easy but remember if u tick the wrong answer your whole question is wrong. But with subjective questions its never the case that the whole answer is wrong, some part might be wrong while the rest correct.
Anyways just remember you have to go through the whole portion in june and dec , you have to read the book learn theories and formulas. - AuthorPosts
