    Sir i am planning to quickly complete my syllabus and the move on to the question in the kaplan exam kit and i am planning to set aside 9 day for 9 mocks

    DOUBT 1 – Sir i have just started AAA and completed around 6 chapter no question attempted yet i have around 33 day left i can study for 8 hour a day so i can put in 250-260 of studying do u think it is possible to clear the exam with that many hour of studying ?

    DOUBT 2 – Since i am short on time when i solve the exam kit lets say from audit risk is it better if i write risk in bullet point and the impact in bullet point and read the answer from the text to check if im correct and also learn some point .(Only considering to follow this method for kaplan exam kit when i do the 9 mock i will write the full answer under exam like condition )

    Given the amount of time that has elapsed since we discussed study hours https://opentuition.com/topic/study-hours-3, perhaps you need to be realistic about what you can achieve if you are planning to sit the exam 4 weeks on Monday.

    I personally don’t think it is enough to write out only a mock exam “in full” – and only to plan in bullet points other Qs – the skill in AAA is to be able to write in sentences that earn marks, the evaluation of materiality, say, or the evaluation of a risk. By all means do some Qs in bullet points, but not the majority.

    Also you mention the Kaplan Kit – which is fine for additional question practice – but you need to be doing as much Q practice as possible in the CBE Practice Platform – so using it, on the day, is second nature. There are 6 exams in the past exam library – you need to pay particular attention to September 2022 and December 2022 exams as these have the 20 professional skills marks. And all three practice exams have professional skills marks – you should do one of these as a mock.

    I think you should be aiming to properly complete the 5 exams with professional skills marks – so on the day you can write with confidence – knowing that you will earn these marks.
