    hello dear tutor
    I attempted F7 in june and got 45. I am resitting it in September but ACCA has made changes in the exam format and the syllabus. I am really confused on how to prepare for it this time to get that pass. I am really panicking and I don’t want to fail this time. Could you please help me out here and give me suggestions on how to prepare in a month.
    Thanks a lot.

    Lots of mcq practice

    Lots of opentuition mini-exercise question practice

    Lots of test questions at the end of each opentuition F7 course notes chapter

    Lots of old style question 2 practice

    Lots of consolidation practice and, finally

    Lots of cash flow and interpretations practice

    Do that for as many hours in each day as you are prepared to devote to seeking success and hopefully that will see you winning the global prize for F7

    Oh! And post here again whenever you encounter a problem that needs resolution

    thanks a lot for the suggestions. Do I need to practice ratios as well or can I leave that topic?

    No, of course you need to practice them – that’s an integral part of interpretation!

    Right! I’ll do that. Also I am very concerned about all the mcqs in section A amd B. I have the most difficulty getting those correct. So how to prepare for those? Will doing the opentuition mini exerises be enough?

    Mini-exercises will certainly help … but will they be enough?

    I doubt it.

    You need to put in hours of practice at answering mcqs. There’s no substitute for extensive practice

    I assume that you own a revision kit / exam kit!
