    Anyone there to guide me please…..
    I have covered the entire F8 syllabus, but I am a bit confused on how to start the revision? Should I do the past papers or read a lot of articles and books and note some important point and make summaries of all the chapters??? Or any other way you used?
    P.S. I have done almost all the past paper question from the pilot paper until June 2013.

    The best way by far is doing questions.

    You don’t have to write out your answers in full, but do an answer plan setting out the points you would expand in a real answer. Then compare to ACCA’s answer of the answers in any revisoin kit you have.

    It’s very important to write outlines then you can do a ‘variance’ analysis by comparing to the model answer. Concentrate on where you hade adverse variances!

    You mean that if I wanna do substantive procedures over receivables, for example, and then do those specific questions and compare my answers to the examiner’s one right?
    Well I had a mock exam in my college in which I could only attempt 70% of the paper and still managed to get 42% so a bit disappointed due to my bad performance and I really wanna improve and do well.
    How many questions should I really practice everyday? Or do some questions and read some notes and articles???

    Your initial email said ‘I have covered the entire F8 syllabus’ yetyou could only attempt 70% of the paper in your college mock. I might be misunderstanding, but those statements seem at variance.

    I can’t give any more advice on this. I don’t know your learning style; I don’t know how well prepared you are; I don’t know if you’re bright or dim. You have to decide for yourself.

    And don’t be so damned rude “Will anyone bother replying?” This is a free service so if you don’t like it go elsewhere with my blessing.
