    Hi John,

    I need your guidance in how to handle theory part into exams.

    I studied topics through BPP to gain knowledge on Theory stuff so that i can write or sync those into the question or requirement they asked. But i am not to think how to start writing theory from the case study given.

    Secondly, in some questions i able to write according to my knowledge but that only covers or relates only 20-30% of the suggested answers.

    Please help how to comand over this to handle theory part into exam as there are lots of theory asked in AFM.

    I assume that you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers (BPP or Kaplan) and the best way of getting better at the written parts of questions is to read and learn from the answers – especially the answers to past real exam questions in the Kit.

    In addition do make sure that you have read all of the technical articles on the ACCA website.

    Do appreciate that the examiners answers (which are what are reprinted in the Kit) are much longer than you are expected to produce. You will never be expected to write so much in the exam.

    No – obviously they do not simply repeat questions!

    However, just about anything that can be asked has already been asked in past exam questions or is explained in the technical articles (and, of course, in our free lectures).
