Please i need the tips for approach to use on f7 and f9 papers for the three months we have
F7 and F9 are huge syllabus papers. For f7 i would recommend using Kaplan study text. F9 is a theory and application paper. Do not ignore theory! Make sure you cover all the topics of the syllabus.
Both papers require good practice. Time management is crucial in both papers. F7 paper format is obvious and thats why practice good amounts of consolidation qustions, Final accounts, Cashflow/Interpretations and the last 2 questions could be anything. At first you might find F7 a little difficult depending if u have done consolidations before the rest are pretty okay. I cannot stress enough on practice.
Lastly solve out past papers under strict timing. Especially f7 you have to train your self to not cross the time allocations. Same applies for f9 you’ll find the paper never ending 😀
Helpful tip for me too as i will be writing both papers this diet. Thank you Plen.

F7… practice practice practice… seriously I ran out of time in the exam and didnt have time to calculate everything even though I knew how to to do.
F7 has been the hardest exam so far in terms of time management. I got halfway through the paper and only technically had time to answer 1 of the 2 remaining questions… So for the last 2 questions I just went for the easy marks and still managed a decent pass. I didnt have time to do a whole cash flow statement so I drew out the skeleton for it and filled in the easy numbers, then for the ratios I only calculated a few basic ones and wrote a handful of bullet points, then had to move on to the next question to get the easy marks there too.
Practice your consolidations, financial statements, cash flows, ratios… they all came up in the exam I just did!F9… learn everything!!!! Calculations and theory. Use words (mnemonics) to learn all the positives and negatives of everything. I knew everything inside out.
I just did F7 & F9 together, it was very tough but you have to put the time in and practice as many questions as you can
