Hi do not be disheartened! SBL is a very overwhelming paper with a lot to take in. It covers a bit of everything thing. You will pass the next one, I believe in you.
Before exam tips:
-What I did was I used the open tuition notes
-I only did 2 mocks both on the ACCA website for CBT-one untimed and another timed. There’s no point of doing more than this, as you wouldn’t get the same case studies.– Also learn the formats (e.g. report format, briefing notes), it seems silly but do this !!
On the exam day tips:
– Read the requirements first and I put the questions in my work book so I didn’t forget them as I read the exhibits later on.– Plan as I read the requirements, highlight the models to use if you can and allocate timings to each question – 15 minutes for planning
-Read the exhibits and highlight key information (use different highlights for different questions if you can) and I also wrote which exhibits went with what question in the work book as I read. 45 minutes for reading.
– the rest of the time to write and also 15 minutes at the end to read over what I wrote.
If something seems too hard move on and come back later.
Hope these tips help for you next one, all the best.

Thank you OT, passed my SBR today ! To all those who failed, keep on going, you can do it.
Tip: in the exam if you don’t know something move onto the ones you do know and come back when you’re done with those. You’re more likely to score better marks this way. I missed some questions but still managed to pass.
Application to the scenario is also key to the professional exams.
Let’s keep on going guys, best of luck everybody.
Thank you so much. This is really helpful. I’m approaching this exam next and I’m very nervous but these tips are very handy.
