Are you all have studied accounting at university or college before or this is your first accounting study ? if for first time accounting study, Could you give me advices on how to study and master the F5 paper?

Hi accama, COngratulation for your great success in exam. I wanna ask for some tips on how to study F5 and F6 paper. first of all, is ACCA your first accunting study or you have studied accounting before? I asked this question because it does affect me on how your study technic will be applicable to me, as I have no previous knowledge in accounting before. I appreciate your tips and Thank you in advance.

Congratulation to those who pass. Guys which is easier to pass: Computer base or paper base exam?

hmmmmm first attempt. i failed with 44%. It's well.

Sorry about that but does it mean CBE is easier to pass than paper exam?

First time pass with 50%. Thank you Mr John Moffat and OpenTuition.

Congratulations on your achievement @ngocnguyen6397!!! Absolutely amazing success!!

@ngocnguyen6397 said: Did you mention me? I got 92%, just used BPP revision kit and passcard. Honestly it is a little bit surprising, I have got luck

Just the kit? Anything else? No video lectures? Notes? Or Textbook? Wow!! How many months did you take to prepare for F5?

Well, i had initially no accounting background since I had done my O levels and A levels as a science student but when I decided to do ACCA... I was advised by someone really experienced to get some exposure before you dive into ACCA... So I went ahead and did A levels in Accounting too and that actually proved to be a tremendous help! Now talking about F5, make sure your concepts are clear and you do non-stop practice from practice kits of either Bpp or Kaplan... Do constant practise. I will recommend you to go Section wise of the syllabus... Understand the concept and simultaneously do the questions of those topics before starting off the next section/topic... This will help u retain and understand the matter well. As you are practising see your mistakes properly. Analysing where you went wrong and why.... Keep going like this and make sure you do TONS OF PRACTICE... THE MORE THE BETTER... AND THE BETTER CHANCES OF PASSING. I dont whether you have done F5 before or the future exam is going to be your first attempt and you are going to start from scratch? If this is going to be your first attempt.. Then i will advise you too look into the following approach I have mentioned here https://opentuition.com/topic/want-to-sit-in-september-for-f5-through-self-study-is-it-possible-and-how/ If this is not going to be your first attempt then I will advise u to first "Attack" the topic areas which you know u are weak at or dont understand the concept of... Do the question practice simultaneously. Then go to the other topics but no need to invest a lot of time... Just some of it... as revision and emphasis should be ON QUESTION PRACTICE! This is something i would do. I will surely advise you to get it off your mind that you dont have background knowledge of accounting... Otherwise this will keep on haunting you until the end of ACCA and deter your progress. Hope it helps.

I studied at a center within 1 month and a half. Actually I took F4 paper as well, so in 2 weeks before exam I just spent time on F4. I didnt have enough time to read textbook so I just used passcard to summarise. I think I got high score thanks to section C because of "professional presentation" (one paragraph for each ideas, title for each ideas and bold, underline to highlight it)

I scored 47 Marks :(

Hi jetavi. thanks for your tips.

Hi, Many Congratulations to the people who passed! I will be sitting for F5 this September first time and this is the first time ever I am giving ACCA exams because I was exempted from the rest. So was a bit worried. I would be thankful if anyone here could share his/her experience with the preparation for this particular paper.. Thanks in advance Regards, Upasana

Fail second time with 46%, first time 45% :( Congratulations to everyone who passed. I find it very annoying that there is no more specific feedback from Acca on the results. It would be very helpful to see what is the performance level in different areas of the F5. I am not expecting detailed results as question by question by anything more than just a score would be very beneficial, specially for those who has failed it few times.

Got 40 if I'm reading my ACCA log in correctly, it doesn't say "%" or have a heading but its next to the word "Fail"

Failed! :( Do I have to use new books for September 2018 sitting for F5?

@kamila2901 - I am so sorry to hear that but I failed as well. Are you gonna use new books for September 2018?

I scored 82% and also followed this approach : "because of “professional presentation” (one paragraph for each ideas, title for each ideas and bold, underline to highlight it). " Would recommend this structure for all Section C questions.

I passed with 72% - delighted to have finished the F papers on a high! Thank you Mr Moffat and Open Tuition! :)

You have certainly used your limited time extremely well! Great!

Hi Upasana, I have written a post on page 2 under the same thread. Just go back and see. I hope that helps!

No issues @tanyanti! Was happy to share them!

@rossacca said: I scored 82% and also followed this approach : "because of “professional presentation” (one paragraph for each ideas, title for each ideas and bold, underline to highlight it). " Would recommend this structure for all Section C questions.

But @rossacca does the presentation contribute to the scores? As in, does the examiner gives scores for the presentation? Cuz as far as I have come to know what the answer is matters and presentation is not the top priority since no marks are given for that.... But if this is actually true... Will make a note for the future papers!

Passed d 52%, second attempt. Thank you Open tuition

Passed F5 first time with 63% thank you so much open tuition!!!

No marks for presentation but a well structured response will make it easier for both the examiner and yourself in checking the clarity of your points.

Thanks to Open tuiton...I passed f5 in first attempt.Great lectures and to the point notes helped me pass the exam.
