I failed F9 for the 2nd time, any advice on approach and study materials beside OT materials for Sep session.
Thanks
July 19, 2016 at 3:54 pm #327676I am sad that you failed again 🙁
Have you bought a current edition of a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers? If not, then it is vital that you do because they have lots of exam standard questions to practice on and practice is vital.
Otherwise, do watch the free lectures (if you have already watched them, then watch them again) and so look at the lectures working through several past exam questions – because I don’t just go through the calculations, but also the approach to make sure you get as many marks as possible.
July 25, 2016 at 1:12 pm #328929I have BBP kit up June15.
I think I struggled in MCQs and in exchange rate question.
Hope to pass it in Sep with the help of OT materials.July 25, 2016 at 6:18 pm #329061You kit is OK, although it would be better to get a current edition.
Do appreciate that the format of the exam will be different in September (with more MCQ’s). You can find a specimen exam on the ACCA website.

Thank youAugust 1, 2016 at 7:25 am #330538Yes – the format has changed (and you should have received details in the regular emails from the ACCA). There are full details and a specimen exam on the ACCA website.
