Dear Tutor
Pls advises what’s the best way to move forward as I have failed SBR-( its was my 1st time doing SBR)
So doing the resit exam SBR for mar 21- pls advise that one MUST follow to ensure that one passes this time – Any techniques that one can advise
DO Qs practise etc Learn n apply the IFRS/IAS
– etc etcSorry to hear about your result.
1. Question practice from an up to date Revision Kit – 2020/2021 edition. Focus on questions since syllabus change in around 2017. DO NOT AUDIT ANSWERS UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE QUESTIONS.
2. All articles in student section of ACCA SBR – that’s around 5 per week.
3. Review our debriefs of 2019 real exams to appreciate exam technique.
4. Remember that you must demonstrate the relevant BASIC KNOWLEDGE to get through. If you apply the knowledge incorrectly, it’s not the end of the world.
5. 10% of your time should be on groups and 90% on accounting standards. Most people can do the groups – it is the standards where knowledge is lacking.
6. Remember that you pass this exam by explaining how FS are impacted by transactions and events- journals and calculations are not enough.
7. If you need to check a technical point use our course notes or the iasplus website.And you will get through………………..:)

Naomi4. Past exam question – company BUYS and SELLS oil trading contracts. Your brain is temporarily empty. So get some basic marks by defining asset (and then deciding whether definition is met when they BUY one of these things) and explaining revenue recognition (and then attempting to apply it when they SELL one of these things).
6. No need to worry about DR/CR – you will marked right if you use words UP and DOWN. If the business buys sausages on credit, inventory goes UP and liabilities go UP.
Look at the answers to recent exam questions. Notice how the first 3 or 4 lines are BASIC KNOWLEDGE – and that’s what you need to pass.
PS Trusting that you allocate time – it is impossible to pass unless you do this – that’s why many people get 49%.
Thank you so much – I feel much better now – with your responses – especially Dr/Cr
I shall apply the basic knowledge to all my Qs
