Hello,
I’m due to sit for F5 in December. its my first ACCA exam and my first exam in 5 years (since I left university).Ii have exemptions from f1,f2,f3. I’ve only just started revising and wanted to know in your opinion do you think I have a chance of passing. How much would I have to put in to get a pass. Thank you.
I thought i should add a bit of history to my situation so you’re in a better position to advise. As I stated earlier, I got exemptions from f1, f2,f3 because I have a degree in business and finance. However after awarding me with the exemptions, ACCA later sent me an email to say that I would need to forfeit my exemptions if I wish to subsequently apply for an ACCA practising certificate and audit qualification for the UK. This was due to the fact that i completed my degree more than 5 years ago. At this point I had already registered for the f5 exam. How do you best suggest i proceed with this given the time I have. ACCA have said i can sit f5 and forfeit my exemptions after f5 results are out.
Please help me, im not sure what to do.There is no reason why you should not be able to pass.
However it is impossible for me to say how much you will need to put in – it so much depends on how easy or difficult you find the topics.
What you need to do is count up how many hours or days you have available for studying between now and two (or three) weeks before the exam.
Count how many chapters there are in our course notes, and divide by the number of weeks you have available. That is how many chapters you need to cover each week. Just reading the notes is not sufficient – they are lecture notes and you need to watch the lectures with the notes in front of you.
The reason for leaving at least two clear weeks before the exam is that you should spend those two weeks practicing as many questions as possible to get used to the style and difficulty of the questions. For this you must get a Revision/Exam Kit from one of the approved publishers because they contain lots of exam-standard questions.
