F9 Revision before Exam

Hi Asad,
As we all know that its just one month to go for F9. This exam is one of the most challenging in F-Levels. It consists of almost 50% theory and 50% calculations, so you really need to make a balance of both. Many candidates just focus on calculations and expect to pass the exam, which is not a right thing to do. As the time is short so i will suggest you to focus on the questions which appear on regular basis, such as Discounted Cash Flows ( Investment Appraisals), WACC ( Cost of debt and equity) and Working Capital Management (Receivables, Cash and Inventory Management).
Other topics are also important but in my opinion these should be your first target. If you still get time then go for Business Finance and Forex as well.
Good Luck.

Your answer can differ from the one which is given in the exam kit. The way you are rounding it can be different from the examiner. You will never be penalized for rounding provided that it is “sensible rounding”.
I hope you got my point.

@Vera,
You are right that F9 is quite challenging. You should try to cover all the topics as soon as possible, as its less than one month to go for exam. In my point of view last one month should be left spare just for revision. And try to attempt the past papers and look at the examiner’s reviews, as you mentioned it helps us to find what to do and what not to do.
