    Can you provide tips on how to interpret question requirements and the question itself?

    Like I am doing P7 as well, so when I see words like “Matter to consider”, I know it wants me to write about the particular accounting standard or when it says “Risks of material misstatement”, I quickly know that what it wants me to identify what could go wrong.

    However, for P4, the requirements are always quite different.
    So can you give any tips on interpreting P4 question requirements.

    Thank you

    It is impossible for me to give that sort of tips for P4 because for P4 there are so many things that can be asked in so many different ways!
    Also, different examiners in the past have used different ways of asking for things.

    Usually it is pretty clear what they want for the calculation parts of questions, and it is the written parts where sometimes it is less clear.

    However the current examiner is both pretty clear and is pretty consistent and so (particularly for the written parts of questions) best is to concentrate on how questions. He started writing the exams in December 2010.

    Sorry that I can’t be of more help here 🙁
