I prepared p7 taking help from past exam answers provided by acca hence tried to follow the sloutions provided by ACCA though i knew i wont be able to write in that much detail yet could not manage time and had to rush over section b in very short time
this time i have gone through bpp exam kit answers thse are precise just touching ISA and IAS most of the times not referring to stander and just laying out the treatments language is changed and for IAS it is same as in updated version of IAS past exams are years old n lengthy and answers were written perhaps at the time of exams i am confused would that have contributed to a faliure a 49 mick???August 25, 2016 at 8:19 am #335089I’m not abundantly clear where this ramble is headed! What WILL have contributed to a mick (mark?) of 49 is a lack of punctuation
The only gesture towards punctuation in your post is a double question mark at the end
I’m not referring to your inability to use spell-checker or your use of a wrong word here or there.
I’m referring to the fact that, for an aspiring professional in a professional examination where there are specifically 4 professional marks available to be earned, your post itself tells me that you didn’t score those 4 available marks
And just one more of those 4 would have seen you through this nightmare!
As for your specific question (if I have understood it correctly) the answers for past examinations questions are not updated for any changes introduced by revised IASs or ISAs
This is just another of those problems of trying to rote learn answers to previous examination questions!
If you have prepared for your P7 attempt using historic sources then, yes, that could account for a score of 49% instead of 50% or more
And, please, use punctuation!

You managed to understand what i had to ask despite all the mistakes which could stop you.
Thank you!
I have flunked p7 twice on 49 and have been unable to complete the exam.
What could be done in the time left?
Can you suggest any strategy to effectively utilise the remaing days for preparation.I shall be highly thankfull!
Hope the punctuations are better this time.
August 26, 2016 at 8:45 pm #335447Learn exactly how much you can write in 1 minute 18 seconds
EXACTLY how much you can write in that time period
ACCURATELY, EXACTLY, PRECISELY how much you can write in 1 minute 18 seconds
Time yourself
Or, better still, get someone else to time you as you copy from a book or a magazine onto a clean sheet of A4
That will get you through ….. probably!
