Bless you sir.

Ok, and thanks.

Another thing, I think I am missing depth in my answer. When I compare my answers with the kit I have basically the same ideas. Whereas the answers in the kit definitely can’t be done in the time allotted, mine seems too sparse in comparison to what they have to gain the marks. When I read over my answer and ask myself if its worth the marks, I think I lack the ability to go on explaining. When I try, I run over time.

I failed June 2016 sitting. I messed up on time allocation and did not get to complete my last question.
Even in my practice attempts, leading up to exams, under exams conditions I just can’t seem to get it right.

I understand that if a question is for 20 marks I have to spend 35 minutes in total, with 10 minutes on the answer plan and 25 minutes actually writing the answer.
If the question has three parts (a) for 8 marks, (b) for 7 marks and (c) for 5 marks, do I split the 10 minutes answer plan time into 4, 3.5 and 2.5 minutes respectively?

I am just not getting it.
Please go over with me the method of writing out answer plans.

Another question, would marks be deducted for using the old terms – balance sheet and income statement?

Regards.

I would say that the examiner was fair. There was nothing new. All areas were commented on in her previous reports. I guess we just have to develop a better strategy to manage time. To give the quality of answers expected takes time but I guess with practice we will eventually get it. I pray for a pass.

Yes it does help.
Thank you.

For a question that asks to identify, explain and evaluate the principal audit risks. I am clear on the identify and explain, but then the ‘and evaluate’ ; I am not sure how to expand without repeating myself. Refer to Garisson June 2010.
Thanks
