Hi Yasir
Sadly, we don’t have our own mock examinations
This is an area where you should be able to design your own mock exam by selecting questions from past exams
Open a revision kit at the contents page and then, at random, select 2 questions adding up to 60 marks and then 2 others @ 20 marks for the other 40 %
It wouldn’t make sense to select 3 others knowing that you’re going to select one for missing off your attempts
On reflection, maybe it WOULD make sense.
That way you would be required to look at all three optional questions and you would have to make a decision as to which of those optional choices you were going to leave
Sorry not to be of more help
Alright that’s sounds good, am already doing past papers 2011 till latest one.
Its my bad luck I am continuously failing P7 since 2012. June 2016 was my 9th attempt. Now I am sitting again in December 2016. Please help me out in passing this exam. I m badly worried about his, this failure made me ill and now become so scared to even think about this paper.
Please, please Sir help me out either to change my strategy or style of attempting paper. I will be very grateful.
Are you stuck with P7 as an option paper? Have you thought about switching to P4, P5 or P6 – just to get qualified? Or do you need P7 to be eligible for an audit registration certificate?
If you’re hell-bent on P7 (anyone that has failed the paper 9 times must be totally committed!) thn I can only imagine that there’s something radically wrong with your technique
On this site, under “P7 technical articles” you’ll find one article written by me and two others written by members of the P4 marking team
You need to read those three articles
Next … do you know how much you can write in 1 minute 18 seconds?
Get a piece of paper,a pen and a book or magazine. Get a friend with a stop-watch
When friend says “Go” they start the stop-watch and you start to copy (anything at all) from the book or magazine
After 1 minute 18 seconds, the friend says “Stop”
Now, post me the details of how many lines of your writing you managed to copy in that 1 minute 18 seconds
And don’t say to yourself “What’s this about – I’ll maybe do it later”
DO IT NOW! And I expect another post from you within the next 5 minutes.
It’s 27 minutes past the hour just now so I’m expecting a post from you before, say, 25 minutes to
I have already passed P4 long time ago.
Here you go what I have written in 1 mint 18 sec.
The national investment trust limited is the first asset management company of Pakistan, formed in 1962, had Funds under Management of approximately Rs. 92 billion, with 54,375 unit holders as on June 30, 2016.

How many lines of YOUR handwriting does this represent?
I’ll find the links for you in a minute (and 18 seconds!)
I know this is not enough to get a mark, but because i was copying so wrote less. When I write just from my mind or specific to question then I can produce up to three or four sentences.
Here’s an earlier reply of mine to a similar issue from a different 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?”
Here’s link to an article about exam technique for P5 – but it’s nevertheless substantially relevant for P7
“https://opentuition.com/articles/p5/guidance-acca-p5-examining-team/”
Another link “https://opentuition.com/articles/p7/” and scroll down to half-way down the page
Another link – this is one of the 2 articles to which I alluded earlier
Read these articles and then come back if you feel that you have learned nothing or that you still cannot identify the cause of 9 previous fails
OK?
Thanks alot Mike. From today onward I am planning in following way. Because I m taking P7 in December so enough time for me.
Go through given articles first.
Go through fresh P7 notes available here.
Practice past exam questions….. in same way you mentioned points above.
Practice exam techniques
Practice time management
separate points in solution.
Read the question carefully and answer the question.
Plan as many points as there are marks available.I would like to keep in touch Sir…. this will help me in getting my confidence back.
Hi Mike how are you doing? Just want to confirm these P7 notes are General for UK or international students?
