i have failed f7 four time . no idea how to get through this paper . i passed f8 first attempt but f7 is just impossible to complete in time . i have studed all the standards and done the whole kit . plz advice how to get through f7 . i am feeling helpless . i got 28 , 40 , 43 and 40
Sounds like an exam technique problem to me. There will be a post on exam technique on the site in the near future so keep looking.
plz tell me how to make sure i get through this attempt . i am willing to do whatever is required
I have failed F7 on two occasions as well. I have to retake the exam in December. I think our issue is how we prepare for the exam. Probably we need to practice more questions to be comfortable with the paper.
i think the only way to pass this paper is to keep practising as many questions as u can not only reading the textbook is enough i think u both should practice lot of qns past papers and mock exams hope its going to help u

Hi:
I’m sorry to hear about your results over the past.
I think you need to work on your exam technique. Its a good thing you are doing the kit. Maybe you need to work on some other things as well. Try the following:
1. Attempt questions under exam conditions i.e. make sure you sit in a quite place for a solid 3 hrs 15 mins (or if you are attempting a part of question, remember, you are to spend approximately 1.8mins per mark, so allot time accordingly).
2. Make sure your concepts regarding prescribed treatments in IAS/IFRS are clear….do NOT rote learn standards. The examiner will not ask you to list a specific standard, he is more likely to test your application.
3. Make sure your kit and textbook are the latest editions.
4. If you are solving really old papers, make sure you get the updated solution from somewhere, as standards have been revised over time.
5. Read examiner reports and try analysing where you might have gone wrong.
6. Don’t indulge in question spotting. Examiner is too smart to fall for that sort of thing. Candidates tend to spend too much time on the first 3 questions and not so much on the last two. What I did to counter this was attempting the LAST two questions first and then working my way through the first 3.
7. Even if you dont know a part, write something down for it, dont leave it out.
Hope this helps,
Sadaf.
