Hi,
I have noticed on the ACCA – Corporate and Business law exam page that there are sample papers that can be bought through the ACCA website. You can either purchase 1 or 3. Would you recommend the purchase of these papers ? I think it costs either £9 for the single or £18 for the bundle. Thanks.
Hi Char,
It is really a personal choice, but of course it is highly recommended that you do as many question practice as possible and to that end we would recommend you buy a Practice and Revision Kit with lots of exam style questions. In addition to that you may want to consider the papers you talk about. But certainly in the first instance you should aquire a Practice and Revision kit.
Kind regards,
Vijay
Thanks Vijay.
Also, at which point should I expect to be in a good position to tackle the exam ? I have been going through the Open tuition lecture notes and the exam kit. Generally on each chapter I am scoring somewhere between 9/15 to 12/15 on each chapter.
Should I ideally be scoring 100% on each chapter ? and then I am ready to tackle the exam ? This is my first ACCA exam, so not really sure what is a good guideline. I did attempt the Open tuition mock over a week ago without really covering the full syllabus and got 47% on the mock. Given I’ve covered more now and nearly completed the exam kit, I am expecting my performance to be stronger.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks again and stay sage.
Hi Char,
Sounds like you are progressing well.
My advise is to continue working through the lectures and notes. Importantly you want to adopt the following strategy:
Revise a chapter the do questions on that chapter then have a break.
Revise the next chapter, then do questions on that chapter then break and so on.
You essentially want to build a connection between the law and how it can be examined.
Once you have finished all the chapters and lectures we would generally recommend a good couple of weeks solid revision before tackling the exam, but ofcourse everyone is different. Some need more time some need less time.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Vijay
Hi Vijay,
Just a quick question. How is Section B marked by the software ? There are some instances where the question is 4 marks but there are 4 separate bullet ?
So for example in the BPP Exam kit Section B, Q1.b, on page 157, would we get a mark for each bullet ? So we could hypothetically get 2/4 marks or 3/4 marks ? or can we only get either 0 marks of 4 marks as we have to get everything right and getting one bullet wrong can lead to 0/4 marks.
Thanks,
Hi Vijay,
Just had another question in relation to question 13.1 in the BPP exam kit. Is the answer wrong ?
I thought to be a partnership there has to be two or more people owning the business. If there’s only one individual then that must mean it’s a sole trader and not a partnership ?
Thanks,
Hi Char,
So in the sample question you refer to there are four marks available so 1 mark for each correct answer.
Kind regards,
Vijay
Hi Char,
Regarding Q13.1- you are right in that you need a minimum of 2 individuals. The answer is indeed option c. But this option is not saying that only 1 person is needed it is simply saying that individual living persons i.e. human beings can be partners i.e. you can have 2 individuals/humans. Alternatively you could have 2 registered companies acting in partnership together.
I hope that clarifies.
Kind regards,
Vijay
Thanks for all the help Vijay. Managed to pass Corporate Law – English variant the other day 🙂
