    Mike,
    I have done P7 three time failing real badly. I passed
    P2 a while back and realize that I do not remember
    treatment for IAS’s. Do you suggest that I go through first
    all IAS’s before I take up another study session?

    Pearly awaiting.

    Thank you

    No, I doubt that that would be the best use of your time

    Have you identified the probable reasons for having failed “really badly”?

    Have you previously asked advice on this forum or is this your first visit to P7 Ask ACCA Tutor?

    Let me know and we’ll see what’s best for you (hopefully!)

    Mike,
    I do not remember IAS treatments etc. I am not certain how to answer questions.
    Are you saying not to go through IAS ‘s then? Yes I have asked questions here before.
    I have been on OT for the past seven (7) years.

    All suggestions welcome.

    Thank you

    Pearly, there’s barely time to start reading through IASs and IFRSs let alone learning them

    My suggestion is that you should start reading (just reading) past exam questions and answers from a revision kit

    Those questions where accounting standards are involved have answers that are in more than sufficient detail for you to appreciate the effect of those standards

    And frequent repetition of reading those answers (as you would read a novel) will cement that knowledge sufficient for you to walk into that exam room with a healthy degree of confidence

    But you need to start reading that revision kit about 4 weeks ago! Where have you been?

    Whatever, open the book today and start reading from page 1 and read it from cover to cover as many times as you can and then, in 17 days’ time, post again and we’ll try to improve your exam technique with some simple pointers

    Read also the examiner’s comments from the last 3 years and also read the last 10 technical articles

    Post again on this forum whenever you feel the need

    OK?
