Dear sir, actually I have struggled with question in part C.I have 1 idea that I will concertrate on part A and part B.I will be allowed to be wrong in 2 questions in part A which are often difficult as comment in examiner report and 3 questions in part B,I suppose that there is 1 difficult question in 1 topic of part B.In part C, maybe there is easy mark or question regarding to the calculation.I will try to have 5 mark in part C.Total I have enough mark to overcome.Do you think it is a acceptable idea? Since it takes me a lot of time to deal with question in part C in the past exam.And the question in each year is not same.Plesase give me an advice.Thank you.

What you must do is allocate your time between the 3 sections (allow 1.8 minutes per mark so calculate how much time there is for each section).
Section C questions are harder for everyone, but you get marks for each little bit you get right. So do as much as you can for each part of the Section C questions. It doesn’t matter if you don’t finish them – you still get marks for what you have done.
I assume that you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. Attempt every question (without looking at the answers until you have attempted a question) and learn from your mistakes.
June 18, 2020 at 3:16 pm #574200Dear sir, I am afraid that although I concertrate much time in part C, I can not complete it . Instead of this, should I concertrate on part A and part B to ensure get as much mark as I can.For example,I know that although I spend 20 minute to read a long question in part C about transfer pricing or other difficult topic ,I can not answer it. So I will use this 20 minutes to check the answers in part A and part B to ensure they are correct.
June 19, 2020 at 10:33 am #574236I disagree for the reasons I wrote in my previous reply. However much you check your answers to the Section A and B questions, it will be very unusual to be able to get over the 50 marks just on those two sections.
