    Dear Sir,
    It’s only 2 days to go for F9 final. The syllabus is pretty vast.
    Please suggest me how to utilize this time effectively.

    Don’t do much – it you go into the exam too tired then you will make too many silly mistakes.

    I would look through the last few exams – ignore the calculation parts but read the examiners answers to the written parts.
    50% of the exam is likely to be writing, and it is the written parts that are the biggest reason for failure.

    I’m revising the theory part, one really should have much knowledge to ans the written part even though it’s related with the math attached!
    Do you think that if I stuck on a theory question I should leave a page and come again later even if I NEVER read that before! Should I try to write something? Or it’s just waste of time?

    You should always write something.

    There is no point in spending time if you know nothing about it, but always write something, however little.
    (There is a good chance that it will get you one mark. That might not be much but it is everything if you would otherwise have got 49% and failed!)
