    Well judy1980, the tips are all the same that u may have heard about already,with the addition of – the bits that u know in exam e.g if you know about a particular adjustment make sure that u get it right and not loose marks due to some error in calculation although u will get majority of marks on the basis of ‘own figure rule’, but even then this could make a difference between a pass and fail.
    As well as make sure u get hold of consolidation of accounts question (Q1) at grips.
    Also you should compare your answers with those of examiner’s to see what went possibly wrong and where were u lacking, e.g was it the time management? or was it due to the fact that u couldn’t get most of the adjustments right?. In this way u can scrutinize your performance against what was expected and what u did in exam, and then use that to reach on a meaningful conclusion as what were the main reasons u couldn’t pass the exam and hopefully then plan ahead so that u don’t repeat those mistakes in the next sitting !.
    Best of luck for the next sitting 🙂

    Time management, time management , time management!

    that is a simple and vital thing for F7.

    There is a HUGE tendency to waste most of your exam time on Q1.
    And sadly, the better u are in consolidation, the more time u will waste. The quicker you are with question 1 ( which majority of students attempt 1), the more chances for success u have.

    Try to practice Question 1 and learn how to solve it , describe and present as quickly as it’s physically possible .
    Attempt all questions at exam, even if u don’t know those topics at all!
    You won’t waste anything by trying.

    Good luck!
