Changes in F4 paper for the Dec 2014 sitting

Hi Cara

Yes, there have been some minor changes. Opentuition sent you an email bringing our notification on this site to your attention, about a week ago.

Check out the F4 page and you’ll see a summary of the changes.

If you want the official version, you can find it on the ACCA’s own website

Ok?

You’re welcome and, if you have any other queries, please do send them in!

Have you read the exam technique articles for those three papers and for ACCA exams generally? There’s a lot of invaluable advice in there

In addition, here’s a post I put on P7 in answer to a student with a similar problem.

See if this helps:

Try this

Get hold of a reputable revision kit.

Read a question requirement.

Divide the number of marks for the question by 2. That’s the number of minutes you have to plan an answer.

Ok, plan an answer. Just one word bullet points are ideal.

At the end of your planning time, stop. Count up the number of different points you have planned to write in a full answer.

Did you get half marks?

Check the printed solution to see what you missed. See if the solution has managed to get two separate points out of just one of yours.

Did you manage to score more than half in each and every part of the question requirements?

Do this exercise again and again and again ….. until you’re totally sick of doing it.

And then do it some more.

I believe that the biggest cause of failure in this exam is an inability to score enough separate points within the time allocation. And that ability has to be spread across all the parts of those questions that you attempt

Hope that helps
