Hi, I failed F7 in December (49%) and felt that the MCQ’s is where I went down.
I began the paper doing these using the 15 minutes reading time to try and get what I knew done then come back to the rest.
I left 5/6 questions to the end and found the pressure of timing and trying to work out questions very high and basically ended up guessing answers instead of having time to work them out.
Can people tell me what they find to be the best time to tackle the MCQ’s and how long roughly you plan on spending on them.
Thanks
Hi Tony
I can only speak of MCQ’s on F5 (which I sat in December 14) – although I’m taking F7 this June. My plan will be same as my December plan – spend most of the reading time on the longer questions and assuming I’ve got to grips with requirements of those and made all the notes I need to, I’ll commence the MCQ’s and mark the answers on the question booklet ready to transfer to the answer booklet when the 15 mins is up.
In terms of how long to do them, ideally I’d like to complete them in quite some time under the 72 mins deadline. In F5 I was done and dusted in about 25 mins on MCQ’s so the rest of the paper was lovely with no time pressure! The f7 questions will definitely take a lot longer than F5 as a lot more calculations required. However, I’d like to aim for around 50 mins at most as I think those extra 22 mins are vital in dealing with longer format questions. I’ve looked at about 200 MCQ’s between BPP and Kaplan revision kits and made a note of every single one I’ve got wrong – ready to attempt again during revision stage. Practice, practice, practice = more confidence on the day. Good luck to you Tony – 49% is brutal so I hope you get through this time around.Kind Regards
Chris
