Hey guys, I have an exemption for F7 from university back in 2008 and am about to start study for P2 for December.
Does anyone have any advice on how to tackle study for P2 when F7 study was so long ago?
Have any of your guys attempted P2 with F7 exemptions?
Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated so that I know I have the background work covered first.I am a self study ACCA student so I don’t get any tuition apart from at home and here >< Thanks
xxxp.s. I posted this in the general forum without realising >< sorry!
Hi Clarew,
Just wish to share my experience:-
I cleared my F7 with 51% last June and then cleared my P2 with 65% this June, both at 1st attempt. When i started to study for P2, my knowledge of F7 was realy kaput!
I attended classes and studied with a BPP text book (i did not find the Group chapters easy to understand especially the IAS 21 chapter).Some students suggested that Kaplan text book is easy for understanding. I dont know as i have never tried it!
I studied all standards throughly and practised questions (revision kit) all the time under timed conditions.
When you have practised the questions,try to go back and study the topics in the text again which enhances your understanding of the standards greatly!
I studied the whole syllabus!
What matters most in the exam:
1. Do ALL PARTS of the 3 questions! Answer everything even if you dont know the exact answer, use logic that are acceptable.2. Pls be strict with your time – if you dont , u will screw up your chances of passing the paper! Becoz the difference between a pass and a fail – is the ability of a student to time manage to answer ALL questions under exam pressure and this is one of the ability the examiner is looking for – “you are demonstrating good time management under pressure”!
3. Be ruthless in ignoring complications in the questions – if you know..do it, if not too sure…then answer logically within reasons but if totally cannot,then leave it and move onto the next part – time, time and time is what matters the most!!! ( I read the exam technique in the BPP revision kit)
4. Group questions (35 marks) – show your group structure clealry , workings clearly and pls reference them clearly, and pls put your format of the required statements clearly.
5. Leave lot of spaces and write neatly!
6. For all other questions – pls when you state the standards, apply them on the case scenarions given. Use the case scenario and explain how standards affect the scenario – the examiner is looking whether you understand the standards by way of application to the scenario!
7. Stay positive at all time and if must, reassure your self everyday ” I CAN PASS P2 and I WILL” whenever you feel overwhelmed with your studies. It’s totally in you whether you want to pass or not!
All the best!
I also have an exemption in F7 and attempting P2. For me at the moment F7 lectures are helping from chapter 6-9.
Cant say much more but I think u should go over these because it shows you how to layout the answer workings in a way u probably did differently at uni.
This is the super easy pass MORON LEVEL exam that no body had ever failed even a 3 year old kid or illiterate in English also can pass. Look at one of the students here achieve 65 marks.
Ignore this exam just only do 2 questions or 1 if you run out of time. A guarantee sure pass exam.
I wish dearly to FAIL this foolish exam because I do not want to deceive the stakeholders thinking I am competence where actually I am not.
I felt very unfortunate why does ACCA wanted to victimize me making my life so miserable?
