Hello,
I am another who has failed P7 a few times with the current being 44% and previous 42%. Obviously no idea where I am going wrong either.
I am entering for the September resit and am just wanting to see what you advise to concentrate on or cover in the next month.
I read your previous responses and had a look at what I think was your article but couldn’t find the others.
Any chance you could post the link for the other ones you were talking about?
Many thanks for any advise and information.

Go to the accaglobal.com website, select “students, student accountant, P4, exam technique, passing the P level papers” and there are two articles there
Try that
I have a question for Tutor
Sir, I’d took lecture of P7.. I want to appear for exams in Dec’2015.
Can you please guide me which material should I study for self-preparation?
i.e BPP book or Kaplan book or Opentuition class notes?
Thanks.I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t successful. (I presume that you failed the exam (in June?) – that’s the heading for this thread)
I’m not going to recommend any text book – I don’t believe that the benefit you would gain is anything better than marginal.
OT notes and video lectures will get you going but the major source of your learning must come from working through past exam questions. You’ll need to acquire an up-to-date revision kit / exam kit from one of the reputable publishers (or, alternatively download the past exams (available on this website) most of which questions are included in these revision kits / exam kits)
Then, to begin with, just read from cover to cover the questions and answers from the previous 6 – 8 exams.
Just read! Twice if you can face it!
Then, pick a question at random and see if you can plan (just plan) an adequate answer that addresses all the parts of the question and has enough planned points to score the marks available. Not simply enough to get a pass. Try to plan 20 points for a 20 mark question, 5 points for a 5 mark sub-question and so on.
You’ve got a lot of reading ahead of you!
But you can always post any questions that you may have on this site and I’ll get back to you as soon as I am able
So you’re saying that I should focus mainly on past papers?
Secondly, I was thinking to go through the course once, whats best source for that?
Down load the course notes from this site and read them as you listen to the lectures
The purpose of reading answers is to notice how the answer specifically addresses the question. “What evidence would you expect to find ….” is radically different than “What further procedures would you recommend ….”
Count the number of different points being made in an answer and try to achieve the same depth in your own answer plans. That’s not going to happen within planning time allocation, but it will identify how many more relatively easy points that you have missed.
Immerse yourself in a P7 pool and try to soak up the style and depth / coverage of an official ACCA P7 answer
And then try to match that!
But don’t allow yourself to be despondent about how “inadequate” your plan seems to be! The answers that you will read are in massively far greater depth than you can possibly hope to achieve (that wasn’t a comment aimed at you personally! Maybe I should have written “are in massively far greater depth than ONE can hope to achieve”)
Thank you very much for your support.
I hope you don’t mine me asking about you, I mean are you staff at opentuition or teach somewhere else?
You’re welcome
We are 4 tutors (that give our time freely to you) and 1 admin
We 4 tutors are either still freelance lecturers or who have recently retired but we all four have held responsible positions in a well known BIG tuition provider as well as more recently (2 of us) running our own courses in countries outside the UK
And, no, I don’t mind you asking
