    Fellas I need some help here – You guys think one has got a chance passing F8 with just going through past papers ? lets say last 5 years ? I went through some chapter of the book back in January, I am comfortable with Audit Framework, Internal Control, Review and Reporting, but then I got busy at work and now I don’t think I have got enough time to go through some core areas of syllabus (Evidence and Procedures, half of Internal Controls)
    Do you nice people think questions tend to repeat themselves ? well not exactly but you know what I mean – similar ?

    @zmukhtar
    Two components of passing an exam:
    knowledge (notes, lectures reading etc)
    exam technique (past paper practice)
    You need a balance of both and at F8 you need a sound foundation of audit theory to apply in the questions.
    Learn the core areas as these repeat themselves.
