Dear Sir Moffat,
I have sat in F5 Dec 13 exam and i have failed with 40% even though i have done really well in exam as i do know and understand the whole syllabus, each techniques and everything. I have practised all the past papers questions but when it comes to the actual exam, i am not too quick in reading the scenario and consequently failing to apply the correct techniques may be. I am thinking to re-sit F5 in June 14 and also do the F9 at same time. What your suggestion will be?
Commiserations on failing the F5 paper, Jay. Well, it is very much possible to sit the two papers together. I see that you did practice plenty of questions but I suppose it wasn’t TIMED practice in an exam-like environment.
I would suggest doing that for every paper you attempt. Even when you are doing individual questions, keep a stopwatch with you. Divide the time in the sense that you have 1.5 minutes per mark. Practice more and more questions in that way and make sure you choose a peaceful/silent environment when you sit to attempt these. Especially follow these tips when it is time to practice complete past papers and mock exam. Do make sure you attempt atleast one mock exam before you appear for the ACCA exam itself.
Also follow the examiner’s technical articles and approach towards the paper so that you are up-to-date with the examiner’s perspective on the paper.
Best of luck!
