    hi mike
    im actually very angry at the moment, this is my second time sitting this paper and failing!!! i blieve ive done my best,and i fully understand the subject, and i did several mock exams before exam day, im really confused don’t know what’s going wrong that i need to fix!!
    ACCA’s biggest problem is that we don’t get to see our scripts marking, to see where we gone wrong and develope!
    i’ve passed p1 p2 first time without struggle, p3 and p7 which are considered easiest to majority and most poplular, are my struggle which confuses me the most! i had to sit p3 3 times till i passed.
    please help me, tell me what i should do!

    Tuta, here’s a response that I’ve just written to another student that is suffering the same as you.

    I believe that it should help to identify and address some of your issues

    Tuta, there’s no way that we will ever (never say never) be in a position to be able to accept and assess students’ mock exams so I’m afraid that’s a no-no, sorry

    As for where you’re going wrong, here’s what I wrote 10 minutes ago in response to a different post from another student.

    I believe that it may help to solve your problem

    Practice exam technique

    Practice time management

    Plan answers within the planning time allocation and then check your plans against the printed solution

    Did you make enough separate points

    Did you answer the question

    Did you plan as many points as there are marks available

    Have you read any of my posts to previous similar questions where I have given advice on how to move forward?

    Well, have you?

    Have you timed your handwriting to see just how much you can write in 1 minute 18 seconds? Because that’s the MAXIMUM length of any sentence that you write in the exam. The MAXIMUM

    Did you follow ANY exam technique tips at all in June?

    Read, read and read again and again

    Immerse yourself in P7 answers noting their style and the way they can make multiple separate points from just a single idea

    You need to write 10 paragraphs / sentences to score 10 marks

    Between now and September just read and then, half way through August, start practicing PLANNING answers

    Post again around August 15 for the next instalment!

    As a refresher, that would be a good idea – if only to get you back into auditing mode

    Surely anything P7 related could not be classed as a waste of time. Admittedly, some P7 related activities may be seen to be not the most effective use of the time available but, even so, they should not be viewed as a total waste!
