How to answer theoretical questions in F9?
I have gone through past papers and have noticed that examiner gives quite long and complicated explanation of each theory based questions. How to memorise all this concepts that are needed to recall in the exam.
For the calculations it is relatively easy as you can do a lots of questions, but theory questions I find harder to remember.
I would be grateful for any advice.
Thank you

Firstly all the examiners make it clear that their answer are far longer than what is expected from students. They do this because they know people learn from their answers.
Secondly, with the current structure of the exam, there are far fewer long-form questions than there used to be in previous exams.
Thirdly, I assume you are watching my free lectures because they cover all the theory needed to be able to pass the exam well (the lectures are a complete free course).
And fourthly, practice questions from a current edition of a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers (simply looking at past questions is not enough, and not all past questions are still relevant), and learn by reading the answers.
Ask here is anything does not make sense to you and i will try and help.
February 2, 2017 at 1:34 pm #370767Thank you vey much for your reply. I appreciate i.
I do watch the online lectures and rewatch the ones that I found tricky.
What I do is I make bullet points from your lectures and revise them regularly.
I know that the format is different now, less longer questions however MCQ questions are quite hard as they require the knowledge of the theory in more detail.
I have seen how you approach the MCQ questions by eliminating the wrong answers first and I will follow this approach.
Thank you again
