Hi
its 12 April 2013 now… only 1 month 3 weeks remaining in exams….
I am taking F8 & F9… no gap between these exams…
Although I already studied alot of areas (kaplan textbooks) but I didnt start practice past questions moreover all areas are scattered in my mind & now I am bored…Can anyone suggest me any strategy to be adopted to cover & revise these subjects before exams…
tutor advice will be appreciated…..
F8 is relatively easy paper. The scenarios re: risk, remedies to weak internal control would be pretty much common sense, however you must be able to distinguish test of control from substantive procedures – look at past papers and you will see it always comes up. Look at the words used in answers. Be specific. You must remember assertions for transactions and events, account balances and disclosures. And you must know reporting very well – it is always in the exam.
For F8 paper I just read the exam kit -questions and answers and that was sufficient for me to get 62 marks. Read examiner’s comments to learn how to build up the answers.
F9 is a different story – I studied really aaa looot and still gained only 50 marks…The syllabus is large and the topics are harder in my opinion. Practice as much questions as you can. There is no other way.
