Hello
With a week 2 go I am starting to feel like I know nothing, currently doing the ACCA papers and I keep failing. Has anyone got any tips for this exam? One minute I think its fine and the next I haven’t a clue and this is only an F2 exam!!
Thanks
Maria
I would say don’t panic, it’s totally normal to have feelings like this. I have a certain cycle of feelings before every exam, something like this:
2 months before – This material is interesting, I am enjoying learning these new topics!
1 month before – I think I’ve got the hang of this exam, I feel quite confident!
2 weeks before – Actually I don’t know anything, I am getting everything wrong! Starting to worry I will fail now!
3-4 days before – I’m so sick of this subject, I can’t bear to study it anymore!
1 day before – Actually I think I do know enough to pass, maybe it will be OK, but I’m nervous now!
After the exam – That wasn’t as bad as I thought! I must have learnt things after all!For this exam (and any ACCA exam really) at this point you should just be practicing question after question. With F2 it’s easy to do this as they are all multiple choice with a defined answer. Just practice banks of questions, 20-40 at a time, then mark them. If you got some wrong, analyse where you went wrong, and then do another block of questions. After each block of questions work out the % you got right. You will see over time your percentage slowly creeps up.
breathe!!! when you feel that you are starting to panic, close your eyes and take deep breath, actually you should learn some breathing techniques similar to those used in yoga.
There was a post earlier as well about someone with adhd, i believe this could help them study as well.
