Hi Sids, rajiv147, thanks for that. I looked at a few exam questions & answers at the weekend and have also started to re-read the book for the 3rd time in 3 years, and also read the examiners reports. Have a good feel for what she is looking for. I will be over the next few weeks doing alot, alot of exam questions!
I appreciate the sympathy and the support, and it is good to talk to other people doing these exams. Talk soon.
Thanks Sids, I will definitely put your advice into practice starting tonight. I feel at this stage that I should know this book inside and out, but its amazing how much you actually miss out when you are reading…I usually get to the bottom of the page and find that my mind has wandered to wondering if the washine machine has finsihed the cycle yet!!!… and then I have to start at the top again. I will read it again, make a few notes as I go along as I find that in an exam I can usually see my notes (in my head…. ahem!)and am able to re-write most of it.
I have printed all the exam questions from the ACCA website and also all the technical notes that have been written recently. Funny how an article was written last November on Ratios and then it came up in the exam. Will make sure I have these articles covered just in case.
Came across another website yesterday PQ Magazine and they had a few articles that I found quite good also.
Need to pass this exam this time. Sat F7 in Dec. Got 67%. Couldn’t believe as I wasn’t going to sit it, the night before I got myself in a fluster over an exam question that totally knocked my confidence but I decided I would give a go anyhow not even thinking I was in with a chance of passing. Goes to show that you just never know!
Have you passed first time with all your papers to date?Hi Sids
You are quite right, what I forgot to mention was that I have two very young demaning children, a demanding job and I did this via distance learning, Not excuses but simply a fact of my life! But wouldn’t change it. What happened simply was that I just did not have the necessary time available for the subject and what time that I did have was split between two papers.
This time, I was able to take a night class and I am going to focus completely on exam papers and question and answers and only sit 1 exam and fingers crossed it works!! Hopefully 3rd time lucky..Your comments about studying is quite right, I never ever sat down and went through the exam papers and practised by exam technique. But I plan to rectify this as I feel this is where I fall short. Give me mathematical paper anyday over a theory based paper!
How is your study going? What do you do now with 4 weeks to go?

Hi
I can tell you why the pass rate is so low. I sat this exam in june 2008 and got 49%! I then sat it in Dec 2010 and go 48%. To be prefectly honest I was sitting two exams at both times and did not give enough time to this exam. I am sitting it in June 2011 and I fully intend to pass this time!
