    Hey!

    First identify the areas you are weak in. Any area which you find is difficult or you have not understood the concept, topics your a not comfortable with. Next, locate the topic tutorial on opentuition make sure you thoroughly understand. Often we feel we know everything while we study but when it comes to attempting questions we feel lost. After watching the lecture and the notes; make your way through the kit. Always watch the lecture first and then read notes it helps to understand faster and easier. Practice past papers under time contraints. You may be well with concepts but whats the point if you know the subject but over spend time on doing questions, hence, time yourself when you attempt the questions. Very important! you do what the requirement states. Sometimes we get carried away with what is required from us; stick to what the questions asks you to.

    Hope this helps 🙂
    Good luck 😉

    I forgot to mention do not ignore theory in both the Papers. Many students have the tendency of studying only the application part. These papers are often a 50 50 theory and application. Remember theory can help you gain marks. When you read your text try making your notes/points.

    If you observe the past papers you will find this:

    F5: There is always a question on variances, performance management – so make sure you know these topics well. This ensures you can gain marks from here as these topics repeat themselves every exam.

    F9: you will always notice a NPV question with a tax and/or inflation element, Working capital which are all repeating topics.
