By numbers subject I mean a subject where I have rules which I have to follow. So subjects like F7, F6, P2 and P6.
Having scored 63 and 64 in f6 and f7 (my lowest among the F papers) and doing P2 right now, I have realised that I absolutely hate subjects where there are a set of rules which I am expected to remember and apply. I prefer logical thinking and evaluation a lot more.
Not just for subjects though. Even in my personal life I’ve had problems working for a community service group which has strict guidelines to follow.
Now I understand that this is the person I am. and my marks in F6 and 7 do still show that I am smart enough to grasp things I dont like if need be.
My question is though. Is there any particular advice you can give me? I know for a fact that 90% of passing an ACCA exam in question practice. And I am trying to do that but still having some problems.
So um yeah. Any particular advice on how I can force through a pass here?
I wish that there was a simple answer but there isn’t unfortunately. The key is question practice as you mention but you will find it harder to get the questions correct as you progress to the higher level papers as they are by their very nature more challenging than the lower level papers.
In P2 there are only 35 marks worth of numbers, the rest is usually application of the accounting standards where you can at least put in a bit of logical thought into your answers.
In revising for P2 try not to put too much emphasis on comparing what you’ve written to what the examiner writes in their model answer. You just need to ensure that you are getting the flavour of the question and are understanding the basic elements of the rules. The examiners answers are far too detailed and confusing (at times!).
Just stick with your current method of study as it has worked in the past and it will continue to do so in the future.
Keep up the hard work.
Thanks
