    Hello,

    I am attempting F7 for the first time.
    My question is, if i can show workings that suits me.
    I like to calculate every little calculation separately, it really helps me keep focused on the statement. Should I work on separate paper (if it is provided) or include every working on the answer sheet?
    Or should I only include important working on the paper?

    Thanks

    I will post another question here instead of opening a new one if you don’t mind.

    I have a very little time before 5th of June,
    If you were me, what would be your approach for covering the whole syllabus?
    Should i go ahead and read the whole textbook and move on to the exercises later or in reverse?

    I have several textbooks:
    1) International Financial Reporting: A Practical Guide – Alan Melville
    2) Interpretation and application of IFRS 2018 – Wiley
    3) International GAAP 2016: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles under International Financial Reporting Standards – E&Y (4,000 pages in total which would be impossible)
    4) F7 2016 – Becker Publishing
    5) BPP textbook 2018

    And a lot of test banks, revision kits and past paper exams.

    Which one of these should I choose?

    I understand I have posted a lot of questions, I would greatly appreciate as much time for response as you could afford.

    Thanks a lot in advance

    You don’t say whether you’re doing CBE or paper-based exam

    If it’s CBE I believe that there is space for you to show workings within the exam work sheet

    If it’s paper-based there is plenty of room within your answer booklet and it is most advisable that you show your workings

    As for text books … find a dark room and put all of those books away. Then lock the door into the room and throw the key away. As an alternative, you could set fire to all the study books but with 4,000+ pages of EY material alone that will take too much of your time

    Importantly …. keep the revision kits and practice, practice, practice

    As many mcqs as you can each day without driving yourself crazy and, to get a break from mcqs, try some longer questions

    What WILL help is if you can complete the mini-exercises towards the end of the free course notes

    OK?
