I failed my first attempt p4, should I be attempting on Sep or should I postpone? I m already planning to go with p1,p3
July 17, 2017 at 9:22 am #396899I am sorry that you failed.
It very much depends what your mark was. If you got a mark in the 40’s then I would attempt again in September while things are still fresh in your mind.
If, on the other hand, you got a much lower mark, then I would postpone in order to give yourself more time for studying.
July 17, 2017 at 1:20 pm #397053thank you 🙂 i got 39 🙁 time pressure …couldnt even get enough time to understand first question ::(
July 17, 2017 at 4:00 pm #397069Have you watched my free lectures working through a few past Question 1’s? Because I discuss the approach to the questions as well as the technical content.
July 17, 2017 at 8:42 pm #397163Hello Mr John,
I have a similar question here.
I failed P4 in June 17 sitting with 43 marks. Is it advisable for me to resit for P4 in Sept 17 along with P7 (1st sitting)??
July 18, 2017 at 4:43 am #397232I have watched all your lectures except p4 what you mention question1 past questions.So you think I shouldn’t resit .I havent tried two paper at a sitting,gona try it first time .P3 yet to start from scratch
July 18, 2017 at 8:17 am #397277GT0707: I would resit in September if you will just be taking P4 and P7. I assume that you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, and that you have worked through all of the questions? If you have, then it might be worth buying one from one of the other approved publishers so that you have different questions to practice.
July 18, 2017 at 8:18 am #397280Shilpamary: Your first post seemed to suggest that you were taking P1 and P3 in September. If so then I think taking P4 as well (so three papers) is too many. I would either leave P4 for the time being, or else take P4 but leave one of the other papers.
July 18, 2017 at 8:46 am #397293Thanks for the reply Sir.
Actually my tutor provided me with all the past exam papers (2006 to most recent) and we worked out the questions during lectures. For exams – I practiced all the questions we worked in class.
Planning to do the same.. along with your guidelines this time
Please advise. Thank you
July 18, 2017 at 10:48 am #397317OK, but be careful with some of the questions – partly because there have been some changes to the syllabus over the years (such as the removal of EVA) and the exams before 2010 were set by a different examiner who had a much different style than the current examiner. That is why is it good to use a current edition of a Revision Kit.
