i just cant get this exam looking through notes or doing mock papers nothing makes sense to me or sticks in my memory im doing this is june 2018 with bpp 🙁
any advice is appreicated
I passed on my second attempt with 55%, I got 36% in December 2017. I went through the exam kit and video lectures, I did more revision questions and got the exam technique right.
have you tried the webinars that acca offer ? it was free to listen to and was very good and you had the chance to ask questions etc?
which questions did you use? theres allot of writing so i find it hard to memorizee all the terms
I’m happy to have passed, but I cannot believe I only got 51%. As I answered everything (and was satisfied with my answers), it means I got a whole load of stuff wrong that I thought I had done correctly. I felt pretty good about the exam when I finished. The first time in my life that what I thought was an “easy pass” was in fact a “just scraped through”.
OK, a pass is a pass, but it means that there is a lot of material that I need to know, that I in fact don’t know. Is there any way of actually finding out what I got wrong? So that at least I can improve my knowledge in those areas I haven’t grasped well before finding myself needing them in a professional setting?
I recommend that you read the examiner’s report https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/acca/f8/examinersreports/f8-examreport-march-2018.pdf and reflect on whether you could have misread any of the requirements or digressed from the requirements of the questions set. For example, about the “audit framework and regulation” Q the examiner reports: it is important that the candidate carefully reads the specific requirement of the question. For example if a question asks candidates to describe the responsibilities of the AUDITOR in accordance with ISA 250, no credit will be awarded for explaining the responsibilities of management.
And in relation to the audit evidence Q: care must be taken to address the specifics of the question; often the requirement is to describe substantive procedures to address specific financial statement assertions, such as valuation, any tests provided which did not test THIS assertion would not have scored any marks.
