    So, this is my last f paper. I haven’t attempted it before, but I’m terrified! Mainly because of my poor time management. I cannot solve full 30 mark past paper qs in 54 minutes, it takes me around 1.5 hours! I’m literally panicking! Do note that I’ve just started practicing past papers, so it’s just the start. But does it get better or will it take me 1.5 hours forever (lol)?? What if I end up doing the workings for all three statements(usually 3 in 30 mark qs) and also prepare SFP and leave the rest to make time for other questions?

    PS: I’m planning on practicing all 11 papers currently on accas website btw….

    There is no point practicing all 11 papers on the ACCAs website because for starters their paper format is not the same as whats currently tested and the standards are REALLY outdated, which means you will be ultimately demotivating yourself.

    The better approach would be to practice the recent papers based on the new paper structure and practice questions from your revision kit. An updated one that is.

    Also for your original question, Section B is not always FS, can be consolidated as well.. I am thinking your slow timing could be because of practicing old past papers. Either way try attempting an entire paper and see if you can complete it in 3 hours this is what you should focus on and not a particular section, because taking 1.5 hours for Q3 is perfectly alright if you finish the earlier sections faster.

    Hope it helps.
