    Hi Mike,

    I’ve just gave P7 in June and received my results with 49! Fail
    Can you please advise if I should go ahead and get the paper re checked? If there is a chance, can this change to a 50!
    P.S this is my last exam, baby due this month and was really hoping to get this out of my way.
    Any other advise will also be appreciated,
    Should I re sit in Sep (which will be diff with a new born) if no hope 🙁

    Thanks much.

    “if I should go ahead and get the paper re checked?”

    ABSOLUTELY NOT! In over 40 years of teaching ACCA I have never heard of a single exam result changed as a result of a review

    Save your money and buy some National Savings Bonds for your new baby

    “Should I re sit in Sep”

    Certainly you should – you’re just one sentence away from passing and becoming an affiliate – literally, just one sentence

    “Any other advise will also be appreciated”

    Try this:

    – 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 P7 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 18 August and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P7

    OK?

    And good luck with your delivery 🙂
