Some important study and exam tips for F1

[Snehal K]

 The F1 syllabus acts as the basis for further studies within Paper P1: Professional Accountant and Paper P3: Business Analysis at Professional level.

 Revise the syllabus as broadly as possible and do not selectively review or practice only part or parts of the syllabus.

 Aim to spend 1.2 minutes on each mark. Make sure that you have double-checked your time allocation strategy before going into the exam.

 Remember that you don’t need to attempt the questions in order. Try to attempt those questions first which you are sure about and which can be solved quickly.

 Read the questions carefully. Be careful about the words such as do and do not.

 Try and decide on the answer before you look at the four options. Don’t waste time trying to decide on how the examiner arrived at each of the options.

 Make sure that you have correctly indicated your chosen answer on the answer sheet.

 All 50 questions are compulsory and must be attempted. So don’t leave questions unanswered. Even if you guess the answer you have a 25% chance of getting it right.

In addition to Snehals suggetions, if we prepare this subject with GTG material (text book, Student notes, Question bank) the success is sure!!!

I prepared for just 5 days and got 68% in my first (& only) attempt

Key notes are of course best made for last minute revision (which helped a lot to remember specific terms - the key to fetch marks very easily)

Questions asked were of different difficulty level and mostly reasoning based.

You can not afford to keep anything for option - knowledge of entire syllabus is assessed in the exam. Remember equation (50/30) i.e. 50 questions for 30 chapters;)
