Resit Guide

There are no changes to the syllabus, so you have no worries about books. In my opinion, best is to attempt every question in the your exam kit (without checking the answer until after you have attempted it) and use that to effectively revise all the topics. In addition, if you have not already done so, then you must work through all the technical articles not he ACCA website. Again, if you have not already done so, do watch my free revision lectures - I work through a few past question 1's and discuss the approach as well as obviously the technical aspects. As always, if you have any problems then do ask in this forum.

I am really sorry to hear that you have failed the exam again. When does your new financial year start? If it is the new calendar year then I think that it is too much to try and attempt 3 papers at one sitting. If it is later then obviously you can spread over two sitting. APM has much more writing (as opposed to calculations) than Paper AFM, and only you know whether you are better at the written parts are at calculations. As far as AFM is concerned, given that you have studied for it and that you felt you had done well, it seems a pity to scrap it entirely. I am wondering if maybe it is your presentation that is causing the problem. It might be an idea to contact a tuition company near you and ask if they provide a marking service. Then you could attempt an exam and get them to mark it and then you would find out where you are losing marks. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help and I do obviously wish you success in whichever exams you do decide to take.
