Hi Everyone
Am currently revising but i feel so overwhelmed with all the information that i have to remember. Can someone kindly tell me from previous experience how reliable exam tips are? I feel like time is running out and i keep forgetting most of the things am studying. Help!!!
In honesty I have found exam some of the exam tips given to by some commentators to be so general and obvious as to be useless.For example,tipping standard costing or budgeting to be examined in F5, the cost of capital to be examined in F9 or consolidated group accounts with a non-controlling interest to be examined in F7.Frankly, these type of tips are about as useful as encouraging people to bet each way on the boat race.Other tips may be more useful but I am not convinced they are that much more predictive than chance in determining what may come up.You are probably better familiarising yourself with syllabus,looking at technical articles written and looking at past exam questions.
My humble opinion is that it is only reliable up to about 50% and besides even knowing what comes out doesnt necessarily mean you can do the question. The exam tips are only good when you have “missed out” certain topics. My advice is continue to work hard. You still have about 3 weeks before the exams. Good luck.
