    So its time for an exam again and I’m panicking. Not for the first time of course.

    I know I have the ability to pass any ACCA paper even with very little time. I’ve done it plenty of times before where I had no idea as to how to go about a paper and then in the last few days I’d just pull it out of the bag. So I have confidence and I guess that helps. Still I am panicking.

    I wanted to ask, is P3 the paper in which we would have to be the most creative out of all the other papers?

    Do you have any advise for the panicking?

    And finally, any extra advice on how to go about the exam? Like how to spot the points?
    Basically, any advise on top of what you have written in the p3 exam tips article?

    If you have prepared well there is no need to panic.

    Stay relaxed in the exam and take time to read questions and their requirements carefully. Allocate your time.

    If I was wound up about an exam I used to find a good film to watch to relax me amd take my mind of tomorrow’s trial.

    About 15 minutes. Possibly a couple of reads in that time.
