    Hi there,

    I had similar experience as you…attempted P7 many time but failed.
    My marks were 42, 40, 43, 47 (TWICE!!!) but got 59 at last.
    Finally I passed June 2016 exam and completed all ACCA papers (it’s a long journey).

    I have enrolled BPP revision courses and exam day, studied with BPP online classroom and its textbooks, continuous practiced past exam papers and reviewed examiner’s reports…however, I still failed P7.

    In the end, I decided to work with a tutor who is experienced and can give me detailed feedback to my answer in attempting past exam papers.

    We did not work together physically but communicated by emails & whatsapp.
    I emailed him my answer sheets, he made comments in each question with recommendations of how to make markers happy so it would be easier to score.

    We went through 3 past exam papers and spent almost 2 hours in discussing exam approach of how to use 15 minutes reading time wisely, how to make a good plan in answering Q1 which is always challenging and time management.

    My advice would be:

    During 15 minutes —
    * decide what questions you will attempt and highlight verbs in question in order to work out how many points you need to pass it
    * read through Q1 and make a answering plan
    (start from what subjects you are familiar with)
    * Keep as calm as possible

    During the exam —
    * Do not write too much about the same thing (1 mark = around 4 lines of writing)
    * Stop yourself if you start repeating yourself (you must stop or run out of time)
    * Don’t give up professional marks!!! Adding introduction, comments, conclusion, greeting etc in Q1 (address yourself as audit manager)
    * If you ran out of idea, leave some blank parts in answer booklet and move on.
    * Do be afraid of making a chart in comparing pros and cons / difference etc
    (I did it in June exam because was too lazy to write full sentences, and still passed P7)
    * Strictly follow the time schedule, Q1 – 60 minutes (without taking reading time into account), Q2 – 45 minutes, Q3/Q4/Q5 – 30~35 minutes per question and leave around 10-15 minutes for going back to where you struggled.
    * Spare time will calm you down and give you confidence back so your brain will start working again (psychological technique).

    That’s how I passed P7 and Good luck to you!
