    Hey Kim, hope you are doing well. I am doing APM by myself and wanted to know how many past papers should I go through in order to be fully ready for the exam and crack it in the first attempt?

    Thanks

    Hi, ken here; Kim covers auditing.

    I would aim for six or so past papers to give a good spread of questions.

    It is important that you have a go at each question, either in full or note form, then you must be critical about your answers:

    Did they accurately and fully address the requirements in the question?
    Were they aimed at the specifics set out in the scenarios? Generic answers do not gain many marks.
    Did you make enough points? Ie were your answers long enough?

    Thank you so much Ken for ur suggestion. Should i do 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017 exam papers also besides questions given on the acca website or these are outdated and should be ignored? What apart from the exam papers, should i do to clear this exam with flying colors?

    Regards

    Generally, the later the better, but there haven’t been very substantial changes in the syllabus.

    Technical articles on the ACCA site are useful. Give priority to those where you are not so comfortable with the subject matter.
