Option paper choice – Help needed

Hi All,

I need some advise on my last ACCA

I have one ACCA exam pending;

I took p5 APM – in Dec 2014 and got 34, I did it again in June 2015 and got 45. I entered the exam for Sept 2015 but didn’t show up as I couldn’t get myself round to take the exam.

I entered the exam in June 2018 but due to personal reasons I did not show up to the exam.

I then decided that maybe I should do another paper so I studied for P4 (but not as extensively for June 2019) and I got a mark of 25 (self studied, I did miss out on a 15 mark question and felt unfocused) but I did think my result will be abit more than that.
Now I am distraught and losing the will to complete this last paper.

On reflection, I was exempted the papers of F5 and F9 at fundamental papers and I did the rest.
Is this the reason why I am struggling at this point? I did Audit and assurance and got 66% at first time (but I had done f8).
I didn’t consider doing taxation I am not sure why though. I got 52% in F6 at first sitting.

Any advise on this will be helpful. I don’t want to waste time anymore. I am willing to put the right amount of effort in this.

I haven’t come this far to come this far. And I know now I need to put more thought in the paper I am choosing hence this post and plan ahead.

Thank you.

Amina
