f9 approach and stratergy

Mainly study (have you watched all of my lectures?) and practice (do you have a revision kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers?).

In the exam itself it is a question of allocating your time between the three sections of the exam; making sure that you hand in an answer to every one of the MCQ’s in Sections A and B (even if you have to guess several of them); and making sure you attempt each part of each of the long-form questions in Section C.

In the long form questions, you must attempt each part (attempt does not mean finish each part – there will be parts you get stuck on, or run out of time). For calculation parts you must show your workings neatly – it is the workings that get the marks, not the final answer. For written parts you must always write something – almost anything at all sensible will at least get a mark (and even just 1 mark is enormous if you would otherwise have failed on 49!).
