2 months until test

i hav an accounting test in may that involves mainly preparing the final accounts for companies and also cash flows. i have a very basic knowledge of ? acccounting. i have purchased the ACCA F7 study text. it is very hard to know where to begin! should i cover areas in F3 to build foundation or should i dive in to the final accounts? i am very unsure how to approach studying for this exam. i just want to get 40% (or higher of course) to pass this test and get into 3rd year.

cheers,
dave
