    As I found out last sitting you cannot guess what topics are going to come up so is really hard to focus on certain topics. Have you looked at the examiners report to see where you have been going wrong?

    Hi tony,
    I took the paper while i was very sick, i did some reading. examiner mentioned cannot spot qs, I did quite well on the target costing and ROI and RI but i fail a merge margin.

    Just wanna know which part i should concenrate more, understood from previous sitting, there are no qs tested for throughput acct, risk and uncertainty and ABC.
    I am really struggling with the revision, please advice what i can do more i dont want to fail anymore.

    You cannot focus just on particular areas – the examiner is always complaining about this. The only way that you can be sure of passing the exam is to make sure that you understand all the topics.
    Everyone tries to guess what will be asked in the next exam, but they are only ever guesses. You cannot rely on guesses and just concentrate on those topics!!
