** ACCA P7 June 2015 Exam Results **

I totally disagree with your approach; its vital to concentrate on the long questions as you can pick up comparatively more marks! That being said, it goes without saying you should complete all questions. I scored 90 marks and finished the paper 20 minutes early, so this is not un-achievable.

Need to agree here, long questions first using 1.8mins per mark and move on. If you run out of time at least it’s a smaller question that you don’t complete rather than a question with more marks

By the way im from srilanka..

Could you please guide me how to study for P7
Which resources(books, notes, websites) did you use?

I failed not sure how many times I’ve written it

Congrats to all of you who successfully completed exams….and to all who failed like I did…
‘don’t give up’…(and it was my forth attempt). Too close to finishing to give up! All the best next time!

That was my…5th attemp and last exam, and first time i’ve used Open Tuition for that exam… 62 marks!

You’re doing a great job, really!

Last session i had 64 for P4, almost solely based on your resource.

Thank you so much!

4th attempt….what would you advise?

My study technique was complete immersion with all my spare time. Of course, I scheduled non-study time too. I was listening to podcasts to/from work, reading student accountant articles at lunch and studying 1-2 hours each night, around 4 each day on the weekend. There are plenty of youtube videos if you search “ACCA P7.” I used Kaplan’s premier online study which has text, online lectures and mock exams. Study the returned papers, don’t just look at the grade. Do lots and lots of past paper questions. Some I did to time, some I took longer to make sure I knew the subject. Refresh on P2 IFRS/IAS but not in detail, just general gist of what it is about.

When it comes to the exam, calculate your 1.8 mins and move on to next question when time is up, even if you think you have more to say. You can go back if you have time.

Hope that helps.
