    hi John,

    I failed my first attempt with 41 marks. Planning to retake in September alongside p7 (also a retake) How do you suggest I approach this paper to ensure success this time? Would the lectures and revision kit suffice. Thank in advance

    I am sad that you failed, although 41 is not such a bad fail – so you should be able to pass in September.

    Our free lecture notes and lectures have enough knowledge in them for the exam, but most important of all is practice. You must buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers (and if you used one last time, then buy one from one of the other publishers for this time), and the more practice the better.

    Also, do watch my lectures working through several question 1’s from recent past exams, because I don’t just go through the calculations but also try and show the best approach to make sure that you get pass marks.

    Thank you John, was feeling a little low and your reply gave me some form of hope. I shall follow your advice.
