Hi Mike,
Sorry but sit tight, this is going to be a bit long
Here are my marks below:
P7INT Advanced Audit and Assurance – Fail 40- June 2016
P7INT Advanced Audit and Assurance – Fail 31- December 2016
P7INT Advanced Audit and Assurance – Fail 33- March 20171. First paper, I didn’t have enough exam kit practice
2. Second paper, I didn’t have enough time
3. Third paper, there was a knowledge gap as there was a question on practice management and I didn’t know that but it seemed the better than the other two options and also a bit of time issues.I feel uncomfortable if I don’t do theory and then practice papers.
But what should I do? I wish there was this crash course that would brief me the knowledge in 3 days or so (hopefully 2) and then I just fully practice papers and I would like a session on exam techniques as well.Please help Mike!!

Open a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher and read it, from start to finish, question, answer, question, answer, question, answer, question, answ…. and keep doing that, reading the book from start to finish
When I say “read” that’s exactly what I mean. Don’t try to learn. Don’t try to memorise. Just read
Pay attention to the way in which the specific question requirement is addressed and to the differences in answering questions with differing verbs in the requirement
Notice how many different points are raised in the answers
Reflect upon the professionalism of the answer
And read too:
examiner’s reports
the last 10 technical articles
my exam technique article on the P1 home page
the exam technique article on the P3 (yes, P3) home page “From a marker’s perspective” – this article repeats the advice from my own article but it may reassure you to know that the advice is not mine alone but is supported by no less a person that a member of the P3 marking team
But, most of all, read that book over and over again and again for the next 3 weeks and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P7
And start today!
