    From the practice questions I think if you write something valid and justify it with some logical thinking it should be ok. Some models might be more relevant than others and make it easier to pick up marks, but if you apply a different model you can still get marks, maybe more difficult to get the marks and not as many.

    I applied Focused differentiation too.

    I think the exam was fair, except for the boundary less oragnaisation I was familiar with all the questions I chose. The problem I find is trying to express all that in the time allowed. There is too much reading and really it is frustrating because I know that I can answer all the questions in normal circumstances.

    Q4 seemed like it was going to be straight forward but by the time I got to it I was already exhausted and even though I had the time I just seemed to get blocked in this question, Ended up not really writing very well and just picking bits from the scenario and commenting
    Very lengthy exam. More time needed on all the P papers please.

    Q1 c I suggested B& H.H Reconstruction thinking that they needed to do something fast but not changing the overall business of the organization.

    It is the extra amount above the current cost. so the current cost is 2 + the shadow price of 2.70. So the most we aré prepared to pay is 4.70

    I think my savings were only 3000. Without subsidiary it was at lower limits for both and with subsidiary C would be marginal

    Q5 inherritance and pensions was not bad. Q1 i think was ok, but Q2 was worst for me. Q3 on groups im not sure and q4 i did in a hurry so it was messy. Did we have to choose an alternative or just calulate? I was running out if time. There were a lot of short answer questions, more than in the past papers.

    Thank you, I am thinking about this.

    In the case of a company, therefore, is it advisable to claim just enough capital allowances to create a loss that will cover this years TTP, while not wasting qualifying charitable donations, so in effect be able to bring TTP down to 0 or down to the lower tax band for corporation tax?

    I could even claim enough capital allowance to create enough loss to carry back if it reduces the previous years rate band to the lower rate? In this case I suppose I would lose this years qualifying charitable donation. So I would have to decide how valuable that is to me now.

    Is this the right line of thinking?

    Thank you Mike for your reply. I would like to know this so that I estimate how long it will take me to listen to the entire session. I find the lectures very helpful and use them as my study tool alongside a study text. By having this added information it would help to manage my time, around dinner and other things. However, if this information is not available, or you are unable to say the length of the entire F7 lectures, then that is not a problem.

    Thank you to the all Open Tuition team for providing these lectures.

    I noticed that F6 lectures has a note beside each lecture title of how long the lecture lasts. Do you have this option for f7 lectures? Or would you be able to indicate the total length of the lectures for F7? Thank you.

    Thanks ACCA Tutor. I am working my way through the course notes, lectures, and study text. I’m at chapter 9 of your notes. I plan to enrol for the F6 and F7 exams (early enrolment). I haven’t started the F7 lectures yet. So do you think that is enough time? I work fulltime. I have average two study days a week and two full weeks study leave prior to the exams. Thanks.
