      Don’t stop, but you need to try to analyse (probably again) what’s been going wrong.

      I don’t know how you’ve been studying, but I suggest you look here (you might already have done so):

      An ACCA video – very good advice: https://play.webvideocore.net/popplayer.php?it=35z7hoau9y4g&w=720&h=405&p=1&title=Paper+P5+effective+study+and+exam+technique&skin=3&repeat=&stretch=&brandNW=1&start_volume=100&skinAlpha=80&colorBase=%23202020&colorIcon=%23FFFFFF&colorHighlight=%23fcad37&direct=true

      There are lots of technical articles on the ACCA site. These might give a different twist on some topics.

      Examiner’s reports where he goes over how people did on previous exams

      The OT notes and lectures have been redone. You might find it worthwhile to look at those again.

      Come back if I can be of more help.

    Finding P7 most heavy exam in P’s…..practice matters most…Bpp is good if u have sufficient time, otherwise Kaplan work sufficiently good..
