Students found September 2015 to be lengthy. Further, they found question 5 to be difficult. Let me tell you; F8 is neither boring nor difficult. It is simply a different exam than the rest of the exams at the Fundamentals level. It is intended to develop skills as auditors rather than simple accountants. To be a good auditor you first have to have a grip on accounting but that is not enough. You cannot rote learn for this exam. What you need to do get a strong grip on the concepts and you will pass easily.
Students think that if they solve enough past exam papers or learn a certain number of pages from study text(s); they would pass. This is not the case for F8. As it is an exam oriented towards practical scenarios; it gives the examiner ample of margin. So if you focus on past cases only; you would put yourself at risk.
I have seen students passing with little but focused study pattern and I have seen students failing after months of practice. F8 is all about your grip on the concepts and your approach to the exam.
