    Yup, totally agree: very wide syllabus and timing in the exam is everything. As a result, I did not practise enough past papers in any particular area. I panicked during beginning of section C (saw disposal of sub and lost it), which meant my timing totally went off. Spent far too much on first question of sec C (getting very little right) and then, had just over 20 min to complete the last question (single entity) which I could have scored far better in, and did not manage to complete the SOCIE and left out Cash Flow extracts (not time). Going to do Paper version next time, the CBE format for section C caused me to work more slowly…I feel more in control when I’m writing on paper and can make notes on the Question paper. If I have to resit F7, I’ll do the paper version. Still getting over disappointment of the whole experience! Was very upset after!

    I totally messed up the first section C question (CBE version of F7), I panicked during the disposal of the sub. I messed up the calc totally which left me in a very bad mental space for the rest of the question. My interps were not well thought out, ratios miscalculated, gosh what a horrible experience. The problem was I was then left with 25 minutes to complete the last sec C question which I was more comfortable with, but I did not have enough time to finish the question…my SOCIE was half complete, I could not attempt the Case Flow extracts..what a shame, I could have gained 3 or 4 marks which I did not have time to even put something down for. Felt totally upset for days after, hence only posting now!!! Probable resit for me 🙁
