Dear Mr Little
I am sitting p7 in march n have used ur levtures n notes for this. I hve started exam questions from bpps revision kit and intend to go over the last 5years twice..hoping to be learning as i go along. And then go back over the notes to ensure i understand the main points. Is this sufficient?
Do you have any tips for what to expect in the march sitting?
Also do we need2know all the ISAs?
Kind regards
ShabanaFebruary 10, 2017 at 8:12 am #371832If I were you, I would concentrate now on simply planning answers
Pick a question from the revision kit
Divide the number of marks by 2 and that equates to the length of time that you need to be taking to read, think and plan an answer to all the various parts of the question
So, a 20 mark question deserves 10 minutes planning time
Make your plan of matters that you would bring into an answer to this question within the examination room
At the end of 10 minutes, STOP
Compare your plan with the printed solution and, being realistic, compute how many marks your plan would have earned when written out in proper sentences
Do this exercise repetitively for the next 3 weeks
At least once every day, take the time to discover EXACTLY how much you are able to write legibly whilst copying text (from any source – magazine, newspaper, revision kit, cereal packet … anything that has writing on it)
Time yourself and, after 1 minute and 18 seconds, STOP! Because that represents the maximum length of each sentence that you should be writing in the exam room
Each sentence should contain just one markable point from your plan and you should leave a line between your sentences
That effectively means that each sentence is a paragraph on its own
When you get fed up with planning answers, take 2 hours and read the course notes – it should not take you longer than 2 hours
Read the article on examination technique at the foot of the P7 home page on this site and read also two similar articles by 2 members of the P3 marking team from around 3 years ago
Then go back to planning answers and writing for 1 minute 18 seconds
Do that for 3 weeks and you have a great chance of success
OK?

Do you have new questions and answers of Audit Report(Implications, criticism)?February 13, 2017 at 6:41 pm #372284Adnan, please don’t join in someone else’s thread particularly where your question has nothing to do with the thread title
And the short answer to your question is “No, not yet. But the BIG boys (BPP and Kaplan) have no doubt constructed questions in this revised area so get hold of a revision kit by a reputable publisher and try their questions”
