** ACCA P7 December 2013 Exam Results and Genius Hunt Competition **

passed with 51 after my 4th attempt. I thank God!

@MikeLittle, this is the 6th time.

it was a pit I didn’t make it in my p7 December, 2013 exams. however, I’m not discouraged. thanks to all those who made it.

@love: @fongky2 was right.
So far what is your weakness after exam that you had analysed yourself?
I had analysed my weaknesses in first and second attempt which was time management ie unable to cover all Qs and the way I write the answers.

I found out it was much easier if we understand what is P7 about, see things in bigger picture, never show to examiner that you are rushing to answer Qs.
Which is why time management is vital.

Exam techniques can be obtained in any revision classes, in my opinion as in Malaysia there are many different exam techniques in revision classes held by different lecturers.

Hi,congrats! You have passes with flying colours.
may i borrow your study note and anything related to P7?

Susanrowe, pls kindly send some useful tips to me that can help me this June.
Thanks, my email address is madamyemisi@yahoo.com

One thing I did not mention is learning how many points are required for the question you are answering. If you are expected to have at least 10 points and u provide only 5, I am guessing that no matter how long you answer. It just does not suffice.So how may points?
e.g a 13 mark question : respond to the partner’s email.(outline and explain principle audit risks and other matters)
1- email format gives u 2 marks ( To, From, Date etc very easy marks) leaving 11 marks
2 – so now generally 1/2 a mark for identifying the risk and 1 mark for it’s explanation
so now u know u need only 7 points ( a subheading 1/2 mark and explanation 1 mark)
3- another 1/2 a mark for an obvious point from question
Answer plan = ( 1.5 X 13 = 20 mins for the question and write least 8 points)
It is a time pressured exam but the above can be done fairly quickly with practice and I think it is a necessary step
But what if you cannot remember 7 points? Then use Mike’s method (OT tutor) of writing the same points differently or break them up.
Another thing the Mike said in one of his lectures is that we need want to pass so badly that we do what it takes e.g. not finishing does not reflect wanting to pass so badly. I thought about this and decided that I was going to want it so badly so I memorised the #’s for all the standards on the list (had my kids question me at random everyday.) even if they are not required anymore. But I thought that If I got 49% and the examiner saw that I new all the names and Nos of the std in my answers, that could be the 1 mark to get me to 50. Think like that. What things can give that/those miraculous 1 – 3 marks ? well: format ( the easiest mark), neatness, spaces btween points, professional terminology, thinking outside the box, make an educated guess if need be to show that u understand. marks can only be given based on what u put down and there is no negative mark. Hopes this helps someone…

Got 63:)

Hi Kasonde12
Is it possible to send me your notes of revision over 7 pages. This was my 3rd attempt. I got 45% previously and 40% this time. Even less than last time and yet I thought I had done more than last time and was expecting to pass. My email address is apmalik@talktalk.net

Thank you.

I pass P7 only 51% thank to open tuituion and kaplan. have to do one more paper.is P6 is easy hard to pass?

I am sitting P6 in june 2014. Is any body having latest version 2nd hand P6 books and vedios available. please contact me csundara2000@yahoo.co.uk
Thanking you.

passed p1&4 but failed p7 never the less I appreciate the lecturers the effort they put in for us next sitting believing to re sit p7 and will be finally over by Gods grace.

well i got the highest in my country a stunning 68 in P7 on first attempt. my advice on passing p7 is to study everything in the study text and go through all the questions in the rev kit. And i would advise you use GTG Material cheap, flexible and effective.
