Good Morning,
I have been spending a lot of time practising F3 15mark questions, preparing a set of finanacial statament (SOFP, SOPL). I have been careful to time myself. However it is difficult to draw up the format, complete the statements, do the necessary calculations, get them right, and do neat workings in pen, within 15minutes, which is the time I am allowing for these questions. There is no time to double check things, or make mistakes. I also watched your video on reviewing peoples exams and answers and how these can be untidy. I just seem to think it is difficult to get the full 15 marks here.Do you have any advise regarding this?
Thank you John.May 27, 2014 at 9:36 am #171128Hi Rosin me too I am doing f3 paper in 1week..may I know if you doing it paper based or computer based because I havent think about this

It need not take much longer – just spread out your work (the paper is free in the exam) and make sure what you write is readable.
