You shouldn’t give up yet. You are young and have plenty of time ahead of you. You managed to pass the first 4 so you have the ability to pass these too. But clearly you need to change the way you are preparing for your exams or your exam technique as what you are doing right now isn’t working.

Are you practicing enough questions during the revision phase? In the last few weeks before the exam you should be spending 95% of your study time practicing questions and marking them. The other 5% should be spent brushing up on any areas of the syllabus that you are struggling with. This will be evident from question practice.

If you have the exam kit from a publisher such as Kaplan or BPP, your aim should be to complete every single question in the book at least once during revision. If you don’t have one, you need to get one as the exam kit is vital. Question practice is the key to passing all ACCA exams.

In the exam, are you giving yourself enough time to answer all questions? You must be ruthless with your timekeeping. There are 1.8 minutes per mark available, so a 2 mark question should take 3 minutes 36 seconds. If you spend longer than that, you risk running out of time and not being able to answer the questions at the end.

Are you working as well or studying full time?
