June p7 exam, Final Attempt

Step 1? Learn to tell the time!

Step 2? Stick to time allocation!

Here’s the advice that I have given to P1 and P7 retake students and it should be good advice for you too:

Hide your study text in a place that you can forget about

Open a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher and read it, from start to finish, question, answer, question, answer, question, answer, question, answ…. and keep doing that, reading the book from start to finish

When I say “read” that’s exactly what I mean. Don’t try to learn. Don’t try to memorise. Just read

Pay attention to the way in which the specific question requirement is addressed

Notice how many different points are raised in the answers

Reflect upon the professionalism of the answer

And read too:

examiner’s reports

the last 10 technical articles

my exam technique article on the P1 home page

the exam technique article on the P3 (yes, P3) home page “From a marker’s perspective” – this article repeats the advice from my own article but it may reassure you to know that the advice is not mine alone but is supported by no less a person that a member of the P3 marking team

But, most of all, read that book over and over again and again until 22 May and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P7

OK?

And, YES, you can do it in June

Have there been any changes? You MUST get on top of the new audit reports and IFRS 15

But remember, read, read and read again
