I didn’t pass this exam for the second attempt. I got 43%. Am doing the retake in June, Does anyone have any advice for revision and exam tips in order to pass? Thanks.

How is your exam technique?
I hate to say but I didn’t and haven’t revised lots for most of my ACCA exams.
Exam technique is key. You HAVE TO move on and only spent the time allocated for the questions (1.9 mins per mark ish)
I swear by it.
Also make sure you lay out your answers nicely, subheadings are a must!
Use tables where possible.
Use common sense for as much as possible.
Use the good old PEE – point evidence explain. Never say something and not back it up you will get 0 marks.
Then on top obviously knowledge of the IFRS/IAS’s are needed.
Practice Q1 variances as much as possible until you basically get 100% right.
Then you will be on to a winner.

Good luck x

Does anyone know whether with the 1st question, the partnership. Did you do capital allowances for the period up to which the partner left and then another calc for the last few months??

I think this is wrong, and if so, will I get any marks at all for this????
