    All I can suggest is that you study the answer to the past exam questions in the kit, and learn from them (remembering that the examiner does not expect you to write anything like as much as he does 🙂 ).

    That is the only way of preparing for these kinds of questions.

    sir your suggestion is to study the answer so it is better to study the answer than writing them ?

    Write down briefly all the points that you can think of before looking at the answer. The read the examiners answer – see which of your points are in the answer and learn from the other points that you did not think of making.

    You only need one or two lines for each point, and if you look at a few of the marking guides (that are printed at the end of each of the exams on the ACCA website) you will get a feel as to how many points you should be aiming to make in order to get the marks.
