Try again, you’ll get there, took me 4 attempts!

any tips?

@pauljaco

some tips to pass F6 are:-

1. Read technical articles on F6 (mine was UK version, lots of technical articles topics on ACCA website) – read them many times until you understand – they are helpful in understanding the topics & how to apply the knowledge in the exam questions. Work through each & every example in technical articles.

2. After reading the entire study text ( I used BPP study text) do all questions in both study text and practice & revision kit (BPP) at least twice over. it will help you learn speed & also get familiar with exam style questions & the answers expected, so that you get no surprises in the exam.

3. Watch Open Tuition lectures and learn from them, if you don’t grasp a topic repeat it so you get it – repeating helped me understand some topics better.

4. Areas concerning dates & tax administration, re-read in last days towards exam to refresh memory, trying to rote-learn them earlier will not really help much, as I would get frustrated when I could not recall the exact details of the tax administration part but towards exam it get easier to recall.

5. Exam technique is crucial, be strict with your time but don’t rush the MCQ’s you need to understand exact requirement before answering all questions – I actually did not finish section C left a sub-part & half a number undone! I know I did not manage my time well in the exam & learnt from that experience, I was probably saved by MCQs in section A & B which I tried to do as well as possible.

F6 syllabus is broad but you can pass it, I passed on first attempt but you have to go through the study material & practice exam questions more than twice & manage exam time.

I was not familiar with UK taxation before this F6 paper but learnt all about it & passed, you can too, just never give up – invest time, effort & exam technique in this paper & you will pass it.

Hope the tips above help you & best of luck for your next exams.

Failed 46%. Going for march.

64% pass

Amount of time I have input, just makes it not worth it. Will try again.

Not sure if this will help, because it basically means you need to cover the whole syllabus, but you will defo get inheritance, cap gains and vat in section B. Make sure you know business cap gains.
Section C: Most likely a difference question of employed vs self employed for the 10 marker and I got a corporation tax question, including losses and a personal income tax question. The one common thing in section C for me was that they all needed a capiatl allowance working, which, if you know how to do it, accounts for about 9 marks out of the 40 in section C.

Good luck.

Got 48 expected at least 55! Sigh.

is it wise to do f5 and f6 together ? i’ve just got one and a half month to prepare for both

I really thank GOD, I did F6 (zwe) I passed

I had a very short study time

Dear opentuition team,

what are the DONT’S when sitting on CBE exams please? i.e. In terms of how to write your answers, presenting…

Best

Failed with 49% :/

Never going to fail an ACCA exam again after how much that hurt.
