I am discouraged after failing my 3rd time for this paper any advice on how to be able to pass this time. I made use of exam performance in my last attempt but still always scoring above 42 but not 50
I just finished revising Part A,B,Ca nd i have strated practicing BPP revision kit and Kaaplan again for the 4th time
Any advice please
Try to be more positive, motivated and driven. You need to identify were you have weaknesses.
I have to be honest with you. You are over 40 which shows a good understanding. But it isn’t enough.
Make sure you have a wide knowledge base of the whole syllabus. Think…. what do you hope appears in the exam and what do you not want to see and why is that.
Go through the textbook, look through the chapters and identify areas were you are weak, and work on these.Thank you so much for your advice.
I am actually practicing questions on both Kaplan and BPP, and I’ve noted the ones I got wrong so that I won’t need to review the ones I got right and will have to rework the ones I got wrong.
IS that a good approach for my revision please?
I have another question sir, there are only 2 weeks left for this paper and I have only been able to practice section A and B BUT still there are topics that i need to review again so i think that i would not be able to practice enough Section C questions on both kit. Will that be an issue for my exam preparation
Yes it is….
Section C is worth 40, that’s nearly half if you think about it.You should spend your time equally between all 3 sections. In fact the two have you worked on are worth 30% each.
It’s important to practice section C, in my opinion this is the confidence builder. You only get asked on certain topics. If you have a good understanding you can score quiet highly.
Thank you so much and for section C as it is my fourth attempt I have been tested on different topics.
So, is it possible that I might be tested on topics that were given to me in the previous attempt or other topics
You could get any topic that has come up before ….
The point I was making you could get a 20 marks
On variances with a small reference to performance
You could get all 20 marks on performance
Or 20 marks on ABC, throughput , lifecycle with EMA or Target costing.
It could be regression and time series, or transfer pricing or the 20 marks could be budgets, or budget with learning curve.
And so on …..
