    Hi Sir John,

    I have failed F9 agonisingly in two attempts – first time with 48% and 49% in December. Thought about giving up but have started watching your lectures. Is there any advice you could give to get me to that magic 50% this time around please?

    Many thanks.

    Two things:

    Study, by watching all of my lectures,
    and
    Practice, by buying a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers and attempting every question. (The Revision Kits are full of exam standard questions, and practice is vital to passing the exam).

    If you come across anything in the lectures or in the Revision Kit that you are not clear about, then ask in this forum and I will help you.

    Sir, thank you so much for your support and encouragement, I have passed with 63%. This paper has been my achilles heel!

    I will set up a small monthly donation as a thank you for your excellent teachings. Bring on June!

    All the best.
