    Hi Mike/Anyone Else,

    I have taken 2 of ACCA’s purchased practice tests for F4 and have got 47% and 50% scores respectively.

    I took the OpenTuition F4 Section A Simulation tests and got 55.7%, 67.1% and 64.3% respectively.

    I wonder if the OpenTuition tests are too easy? I scored over the pass mark of 50% quite easily. I would say some questions kept coming up again and again!

    Anyway…

    There seemed to be a pattern of topics which came again and again as lowest scored.

    For me it was:
    – Resolutions (types)
    – Essential Elements of the Legal System (Courts binding)
    – The Law of Obligations (mainly formation of contracts)

    My question to you is specifically, what can you advise so that theses topics are not lowest scored again.

    Before each test I used to prepare before taking the test under timed conditions.

    I am getting frustrated that the same topics are failed again and again!

    Should I watch the lectures for those topics again?

    Watching again won’t harm your chances. Do you have a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher? If so, you need to be going through that over and over again – as often as you can bring yourself to do this constant repetition.

    The OT questions seem repetitive but if there are two questions that are EXACTLY the same, I would be surprised

    I came across 3 of the same question at the end of one of my OT tests!

    They were exactly the same but had differently worded answers!

    And yes I am using Beckers! And I have tons of past papers sourced from online to do!

    Oh well, I should get back to revision!

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, the key to the new format F4 is, very simply, practice, practice and then some more practice
