    Hi all,
    I have a question for you all about preparing theory questions for the F5. I had a look at past papers, but I coudln´t find any theory questions about certain topics, like for example variances.
    Should I waste time studying theory in topics that don´t seem to come up as theory? What are you doing?
    Thanks!

    Just look at the key points and try to understand in your own words. More then that you need the concept to explain it just read through it and when you practicing questions from kit read through it as. That well do it
    Hope it helps

    isabelber: You didn’t find any theory questions on variances?
    I don’t think you can have looked very hard. Every long-form question there has ever been on variances includes a theory part!

    As blaze says, make sure you practice questions from a current edition of the Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. Simply looking at past exam questions is not enough.
