    Hello sir

    I have read the kit another time ..what would b your advice .next…the more I read ..I want to read it more ..as the quality of answers is too high its flowy ….I wish I could write such answer ..when I start writing I scratch my head how to start the sentence …or the way I explain is full of basic English …I m a bit worried about planning and writing the 3 lines para in just 1.18 mints …I have tried this too ….

    Also I met an answer while reading kit …about audit procedures in bpp kit question number 69 ..it simply was confirm that depreciation ceased after the assets were held for sale ……it doesn’t say how we will confirm …is that enough to say ” confirm that dep ceased after the assets were classified as HFS””

    “… is that enough to say ” confirm that dep ceased after the assets were classified as HFS …””

    I would think it could be improved within the 1 minute 18 second rule into something more like:

    Re-perform the client’s calculations to confirm …..

    Naina, the more often you read the questions and answers, the stronger should become your command of English and although this is not an examination to test your English, an improved ability to express yourself under pressure must be a positive in your efforts to get this exam behind you

    “I m a bit worried about planning and writing the 3 lines para in just 1.18 mints” – the worry should decrease as you become more proficient in expressing yourself

    In addition, the reading and planning time is NOT intended to be used for writing the 3 line sentences / paragraphs. This reading and planning time is for what it says! Reading and planning

    Reading, I need not tell you about. But planning? Your plan is made up of a series of bullet points – one or two words in each. NOT sentences

    Try this

    Pick a printed solution and read it but this time as you read, when you reach the end of each paragraph (or sentence because printed paragraphs are way too long) write a one or two word summary of the main point in that sentence / paragraph

    What you finish up with is what your own plan should have looked like. It won’t be anything like! But, with practice, you’ll get there
