Advice

Fellow students,

I’ve put the message below on ask a tutor but would appreciate advice from fellow peers:

Dear Sir,

I humbly request for your advice, I’m currently one paper away (P4) from passing all my exams & I have come to a halt.

If I may give you some background which may help with some direction.
I’ve managed to pass all papers bar this one, Today was my 3rd attempt.

1st attempt (September 2015):

In all honesty I didn’t study much as I was concentrating on P5 & P3 at the time, I only sat this paper for experience and I scored 37 ( I did take tuition classes from Kaplan)

2nd attempt (December 2015)

I decided to undertake revision classes (LSBF – a recommended tutor) and was determined to pass as this was my last, I managed to get through 30 or say exam questions while revising on top of the revision class , On the day my exam technique was poor and I over ran on many question hence could not finish, I was expecting a fail, to my surprise I missed a pass by 3 marks and left kicking my self I achieved 47.

3rd Attempt (today)

During the build up I was determined not to repeat my prior mistakes so I built on the knowledge via more exam questions and sticking to time allocation, however I still feel today’s paper didn’t go great and in all honesty I think i’ve failed.

I found that while revising exam questions at home I seem to get near the 50 % mark with my revision notes , but I’m going blank in the exam. I’m not sure if its still a lack of knowledge (F9 & P4) or exam technique.

About my self:

I currently work full time and have a young family with two kids, so my time is split between my career, family life & ACCA.

I’ve read on ACCA website that more reading around this subject is required and just study notes may not be enough ? is this true ?

where shall i go from here, I don’t want to wait till result day as this time would be lost and I could make use of it (reading, exam questions etc)

I would appreciate any advise and thank you in advance

regards

Zahid
