I failed my last sitting with 48% because I struggled with time management.
I attempted section A first and when I got to section b ,question 3 took most of time as it asked for 3 accounts. I ended up not attempting the other financial analysis question as I ran out of time.
May you please advise me as to how I can do better in my next sitting in March, do I always have to attempt section a first or when faced with surprises like a big question 3 ,do I dive straight into section b first and do the others last?
Thanks
Lorraine
January 21, 2016 at 4:42 pm #297039Lorraine! How old are you? Don’t answer that!!! If there’s a question for 30 marks, that’s a time allocation of 54 minutes. At the end of 54 minutes, YOU STOP
That’s how you manage time allocation.
These 30 mark questions are intentionally long – and repeatedly they suck in students that don’t have the self-discipline to stop
When you get to 54 minutes, that’s stopping time
Stopping time is NOT when you have finished three statements. Very, very few students will finish 3 statements within the time allocation. Only the very best prepared will manage that. The rest, and here I include you, will not get through to the end unless they fatally overrun their time
January 21, 2016 at 8:15 pm #297061Thank you sir,will try not to overrun my time next time.
January 21, 2016 at 8:37 pm #297064Lorraine, it’s easy! Just stop, and move on to the next question (or part of question)
January 22, 2016 at 5:10 pm #297309You can’t imagine, but i also got 48% last time because of my bad time management but during my preparations. I can’t find the balance btw work& family& exam. I tried to do all thing together. And after that i’ve got so tired and when i got the results and see 48 points i was really sad, because we have to achieve 1 goal per moment, not all of them. I will try this time….
January 23, 2016 at 5:53 pm #297609Margaret, I don’t remember seeing you ask any questions on the F7 Ask ACCA Tutor page before! Maybe, if you asked questions of me about areas where you’re not 100% sure, between us we can get you into a position where you CAN balance family, work and studies effectively
