Dear Mike,
Hello!
I am wondering whether it is too late for revision for Dec session. Having wasted time to apply exemption and cancelling the exemption, I am disoriented regarding revision.
I was eligible for exemption upon F7 but elected to sit but failed at 49%. But I now want to take a resit as I believe that I can pass at the second attempt.
1. In terms of revision, I have 2 months to go. I planned to have a quick look on my textbook and refer your opentuition lectures (I may forget something in key areas) when I encounter some difficult areas (1 chapter per day for my BPP book). I will attempt all questions in my BPP kit once I finished the study of each chapter. I guess I would be able to leave at least 2 weeks for tackling past papers.
What do you think about my plan (or do you have any further suggestions)?2. One accountancy professor told me that if I am unable to feel a tingle of excitement when I am facing accounts preparation/financial statement questions, I am not ready for financial reporting exams. I interpreted this as the emphasis of the importance of Section B questions. What do you think? Should I prepare more for Section B questions?
3. I have seen that financial instruments has been highlighted by the acca in the syllabus. On this occasion, should I prepare more for it and also the similar topic – leases?
Thank you once again as you previously let me know the situation that I should not claim exemptions!
With kind regards,
Forget your text book
Get the opentuition notes in front of you and work through them in parallel with the video lectures
Work through the rest of the notes (those chapters without corresponding lectures on your own, at least twice)
Follow through the revision exercises that are videod – they are all past exam questions and very well worth watching
Work through ALL the mini exercises at the end of the free course notes
Practice, practice and then practice some more of the mcqs from a reputable revision kit / exam kit
And, if you can do that, you should be ok

Dear Mike,
Thanks for your advice!
Further from your reply, I would like to know:
1. Whether should I place more attention on accounts preparation questions/financial statement questions other than MCQs?
2. If there is a split of time for practising both MCQs and Section B questions, should I try 40:60 as the weighting of them are 40% and 60% respectively?
Thank you once again for your help!
Have a nice day!
When you are following the revision questions, particularly the old questions 2 from past exams, you will be picking up information that will be typically asked in mcqs
I think I would be inclined to split my time 10 / 90 or 15 / 85
