I strongly advise you to read the Retake guide on acca website. It says if you scored between 45 and 49, that it is because you had a poor exam technique. So if you feel like that you probably should work on your technical skills. I used ATC books, open tuition videos, technical articles, examiner’s reports and guide on retake.Hey, guys! Passed with 56% at the second attempt. Thank God!) The first attempt I scored 49.
1. Believe in yourself, forget what happened and start fresh. Never give up. I know how it feels when you see 49, you analyse what you could have written thinking this or that idea probably could have helped to earn that 1 point. Dont do that, dont spend your time on this, it wont change anything, you’ll only lose your energy. Seriously.
I failed a lot of times and what I think is if you fail, someone wants you to go through this again, and during this new journey you will learn something new you have missed in your previous attempts.I have a colleague who scored 48% and immediately started his preps to the June session. So, don’t waste your time.
2. As less disruption as possible. When you read/study/practice/do your mock and etc turn off your phone. Nobody dies if you’ll be offline for a couple of hours. Only silence, you and books. Trust me, you’ll feel how addicted you are to checking your whatsapps (or whatever) every 3 mins. But, c’mon, turn it off for the studying time. It’s for your benefit, isnt it?
3. A week before the exam (or so) I opened the detailed sillabus and just looked through it, making sure I know and remember as much as possible. If not satisfied with what I know/remember about smth in particular, read through the chapter again and refresh basic points.
4. Practice, practice, practice, practice and again, practice 🙂
5. Oh, practice. Did I mentioned that? 🙂
6. Pray 🙂
Best of luck to all of you!
