@giftbanda2, this link may be of help to you: https://opentuition.com/topic/how-we-did-it/

I pretty sure you’ll do better this time. Focuse your energy and make the most of the exam day. No amount of lectures will do if you fail to maximise the moment.

Good luck in your next attempt.

Secret to passing ACCA exams is :

ACCA is all about time management. You can have all the necessary information in your head but if you over shoot in one area, you eat up marks in other areas. Literally stop writing once you hit the time allocation for that question and move on, no matter if you have more to say, leave some space and you can come back if you finish the next question(s) before time.

Always leave a line once you made a point, never make two points in one paragraph cause it is like you are asking the marker to only give you one mark for that whole paragraph. One point one paragraph(sentence) = one mark, as straight forward as that .

The trick is to always answer the whole paper, markers will feel more obligated to go over your paper a second and third time if you’re border line 47/48 to look for those extra marks for you if you answer all the questions in the exam.

For passing P7 specifically:

As my old tutor used to say “put your auditor hat on”, literally.

When you study, and practise questions just ask yourself “how would I handle this as an auditor”.

No need to memorise ISA numbers, just understand the concepts and apply them to each scenario, answer what that the question is asking you. RTQ = Read the question, read it once, twice, three times before answering, then proceed to answer, and re-read it one last time while answering to make sure you do not stray from the topic asked.

Its all about applying information you learnt to handle issues that arise in those specific scenarios. They want you to apply the knowledge from the standards to those scenarios.

And most importantly, you never lose marks in ACCA, so don’t think much about whether to put one thing or another about any specific scenario, put them both down, very likely you’ll get a mark for both. and Never cross out any mistake points, leave them and move on, you might get a mark for them. Just Write , write and write more, make points, any points that come to mind pertaining to the scenario.

Thats the best Advice I can give you that I got and was drilled into me that helped me clear all my papers, praise be to God for giving me the opportunity, knowledge and skill needed to have finished my papers.

I am still confused if we don’t need to quote ISA number, how we apply its concepts to scenarios? ie how to start my point? Or I just need to start with “According to ISA, & tell a ISA concept?
