Dear John,
Hello!
For exam practice, I have watched all your lectures and attempted specimen, Dec 2014, June 2015 papers. I subsequently watched your relevant lectures for the explanations for questions (I was unable to tackle) in specimen and Dec 2014 papers. I now can say that I can get all correct answers for all MCQs in all three papers mentioned above and I can get almost correct answers in all Section B questions in all three papers.
However, I still feel not confident as when I attempt more questions in BPP Revision Kit, I know I have more to learn and practise. On this occasion, could you please advise me what should I do? More question practice in BPP Kit or alternatively, learn more from narrative questions in past papers?
In terms of exam, based on my expression, do you believe, more than likely, I am ok to go for the upcoming F5 exam in Sept.?
Thank you very much for your support!
PS. I have a further question but this may not be relevant for you. I now hold exemptions upon F1, F2, F3, F4, F6 and F7 but I want to get OBU degree (scoring higher is better). Actually, I don’t know how many marks can a ‘relative good’ student get in F5 exam (maybe top 40% students)?
Thank you once again!
The more practice the better. Since you have the BPP Kit then you should aim to attempt all the questions in it.
Based on what you say, you should be able to pass in September.
Sorry, but I really can’t say how many marks a good student should get. In ACCA exams, anything above 70% is usually extremely good.
Dear John,
Hello!
A further question to ask. I still have some MCQs and Section B questions on my BPP kit to tackle. In limited time, should I focus more on Scetion B questions than MCQs?
Thanks a lot!
You should allocate your time between Section A and each question in Section B on the basis of 1.8 minutes per mark 🙂
So for Section A should should allow 72 minutes. For 10 mark questions in Section B you should allow 18 minutes each, and for 15 mark questions in Section B you should allow 27 minutes each.
Dear John,
Thanks for your reply!
Maybe my expression is confusing. I were asking should I practise more Section B questions than MCQs in the limited time?
Thank you once again for your help!
You should practice both.
Practicing Section B questions checks you have the knowledge, which is needed for both sections.
However, because of the time pressure in Section A it is important to practice Section A questions under time pressure.
Ideally you will attempt all of the questions in your Revision Kit. If you do not have time to attempt them all, then spend 60% of the time attempting Section B questions and 40% of your time attempting Section A questions.
