    Hi as I posted in the results thread this exam is 80% technique and 20% knowledge.

    I had 2 goes at this paper previously. 44% and 39%. Both times I was sure I was a marginal pass but definitely a pass, was shocked to fail.

    This time around I did not open a book and read any theory. Simply practiced questions using the tool kit answer lay out bpp encourage you to use. I also ignored the idea of writing as much and took a lot more time to think what was I saying and why was I saying it. Naturally in exam pressure you still start writing to fast and get rambling at times but I kept saying myself to write less but say more. I also bullet pointed both question 4 and 5 as was tight with time but knew bullet points may be frowned upon but they still have to mark them and I can knock out way more points using this approach.

    Good luck in future.

    Omg!

    Finalist and first ever time using the website for results. Once I got logged in (20th attempt or so) it took me to an affiliate page but wouldn’t let me see results! Euphoric feeling but didn’t want to believe it until I seen it as this was my 3rd attempt at p7 after two goes where I was sure I passed (47% and 39%).

    Finally seen result as 67% and all done. This paper really is all technique as I did not re study for it despite 39% in June. Just worked hard on time management and bullet pointed whole answers even though this is not recommended they still have to mark it and it helps stop waffling (which I am doing here I know!) which in turn saves time.

    Myacca page just went funny. Lost all colour and formatting.

    Still have all the same links but no longer looks neat and tidy. Looks more like basic web site. Anyone else?

    So official line is 5am online but is this likely to be accurate or will they be available sooner based on previous results guys?

    1 exam left and first time relying on the website as away on holiday!

    Anyone else noticed their time in relevant role status bar change? I was showing 48 out of required 36 months but the bar was never 100% filled in which always looked silly but now it is all the way to the end. Possible sign or coincidence?
