With effect from 26 February 2014, the structure of both the computer based examination and the paper based examination will change.
Instead of the current structure of 50 objective questions of two marks each, the exam will consist of two sections.
- Section A will contain 35 two mark objective questions.
- Section B will contain 2 fifteen mark multi-task questions. One will test consolidations and the other will test accounts preparation.
The consolidation question could include a small amount of interpretation and the accounts preparation question could be set in the context of a sole trader or a limited company.
The only changes to the syllabus are that the term ‘Income Statement’ has been changed to ‘Statement of Profit or Loss’, and the term ‘Statement of Comprehensive Income’ has been changed to ‘Statement of Profit or Loss and other comprehensive income’. Apart from this change in terminology there is therefore nothing new to learn.
It is however important that you make sure that you are familiar with the new examination structure.
The ACCA has prepared specimen exams in the new structure.
If you are taking the paper based examination, then you can find the ACCA F3 specimen examination here >>
If you are taking the computer based examination, then you can find the specimen examination below:

hi dear friends
why i couldn’t get new exam papers
same paper am doing every-time that is my problem
I don’t know what you mean – each sitting of the exam is different.
Hi Sir,
I want to know that which topics will be asked in the 15 mark questions.
I have heard that the questiond are asked from :
Company Accounts
Consolidation
Interpretation of Financial Statements only.
Is that true?
And please tell me if consolidation can be asked in 2 mark questions as well?
As I have no time left to prepare consolidation
If you read the article above, you will see what it examined in Section B 🙂
There will almost certainly be some MCQ’s on consolidations – it is probably the most important single part of the syllabus.
My lecture says that 60 is the pass rate? Is that true?
No – it is not true! It is 50%.
Thank you Mr John moffat. Am so greatfull at your quick response.
Good Afternoon. Please, I Want To Know If I Can Use 2010 Edition Of F3 Paper To Prepare For September/december2015 Exams? Hope They Are Also Still Using Same Syllabus From 2010 Till Date Right?
The syllabus is the same, but some terminology has changed and also the format of the exam has changed.
If you are using our free lectures then you don’t need a Study Text – our lectures form a complete course.
However, whether you study from our lectures or from a Study Text, you must get a current edition of a Revision Kit from one of the approved publishers. They contain lots of exam standard questions to practice, and practice is vital. For the Revision Kit it is best not to use an old edition,
Do you have a latest revision kit
I have one. But if you are asking if we provide revision kits, then no – you need to buy them from one of the ACCA approved publishers

That is correct.
Thanks john for your quick response.
I have some more queries that I can now study with 2012 edition easily right?
And how much time is enough to prepare for F3?
Yes – you can use the 2012 edition.

You will find it easier to use our free Course Notes and lectures.
Many thanks John. I must appreciate you the way you are responding queries VERY QUICK. 🙂
Thanks again
Rgds.
Are there any workings for arriving at the calculations? There are a few I’m not getting.
Which calculations????
If you mean examples and tests in the course notes, then there are answers at the back of the notes.
If not, then I have no idea at all what you are asking about!
Sorry – F3 (Extra MTQs) Answers.
The answers in the mock exams.
The answers to the extra MTQs are on the ACCA website.
Thank you for everything open tuition.
You are very welcome 🙂
