Dear Mike,
I failed P7 again (4th attempt) @ 46. I have always scored between 41 and 48 and I am really not sure what is missing. March 2017 was a fair attempt, I started with section B and completed the entire exam in 3 hours 15 minutes.
Honestly, I don’t get a lot of time to study due to work and family commitments ( I am 36 by the way!)however I have been working as an accountant for a number of years which really helps and I think most of the marks I score comes from my experience and using common sense while answering the questions but somehow its hitting 50.
May I request you to please tell me from your experience why do I keep failing P7 marginally? I have already read the articles / blogs about marginal fail still I really don’t understand what’s missing.
This is my last exam and I really want to pass so please advise, what should I do.
Regards
UsamaHide your study text in a place that you can forget about
Open a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher and read it, from start to finish, question, answer, question, answer, question, answer, question, answ…. and keep doing that, reading the book from start to finish
When I say “read” that’s exactly what I mean. Don’t try to learn. Don’t try to memorise. Just read
Pay attention to the way in which the specific question requirement is addressed
Notice how many different points are raised in the answers
Reflect upon the professionalism of the answer
And read too:
examiner’s reports
the last 10 technical articles
my exam technique article on the P1 home page
the exam technique article on the P3 (yes, P3) home page “From a marker’s perspective” – this article repeats the advice from my own article but it may reassure you to know that the advice is not mine alone but is supported by no less a person that a member of the P3 marking teamBut, most of all, read that book over and over again and again until 22 May and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P7
OK?
