Those of you who have passed and still read this thread, can you please give us some exam tips?
I studied OT lecture videos and OT notes, examiner’s articles, practised questions from the exam kit. Last Sept and Oct I used Kaplan textbook but it was way too boring and lenghty, ended up getting lost in the details so I stopped using textbook and if there was an area I was still unsure about , I googled it, did research on it to get an understanding.
I know this paper is about application rather than learning theory but my problem is that the Section A case study is way too long and my brain gets lost in the details.
Any tips and ideas on how to tackle such long case studies? I find it difficult to find the key points in the complicated case study and think about how to structure my answer under time pressure.
Passed!!!!! 57% first attempt, self study only however for a few months, no work experience at all. (I don’t know how I did that as was convinced that it didn’t go well)
Thanks to Opentuition passed with 67% although I have a small 5 month old baby ? One more exam to go… Any tips for the case study? Well, try to see the big picture and do not get stuck to the details. Very important, just start the next question if the time gets too tight!
The advice i got during my learning process was , the length of the case should excite you because that is where the answer is . I used to hate those long cases but my attitude changed once i realised that approach, do not be intimidated by the length of the case.

Section A in P level always contain long case studies (50 marks). And they key to tackle this is to keep practicing past exam questions. Try 4 recent exams first. Usually I spent 15 minutes just to read the case first and base on the mark allocation, I will decide the length of my answers. Remember, 1.8 minutes per mark! So if the question worth 10 marks, spend only 18 minutes then move to the next part.
Also, spend time reading Examiner’s Report on ACCA website. Each term they publish a report which contains their comments on student’s performance.
