F3 Int CBE

[apcc25]

Hey there, I failed my F3 Int Financial Accounting for the first time yesterday. I felt really disappointed as I put so much hard work into it and I still failed. Also I feel a bit stupid to have failed at level 1, I mean everyone says it's only going to get much harder. I just don't think I even know anyone that failed at such an early stage. On the other hand I did pass my F2 the week before. I'm going to re-take F3 in 4 weeks time... I'm determined to pass this time - failure is not even an option anymore. If anyone has any tips on how to pass F3 please let me know.

Do as many exam quesitons.
The ones you get wrong, revise,learn those topic areas again.

many peope have failed in early stages- about 50% people fail in early stage, the rate differs from session to session.

How did you study for F3?
What books did you use?

i did the bpp home study which i found really good. but yeah like you said i do need to do more question practice - i think that was my downfall - i didn't do enough. just hope i pass next time around.

Now as have seen how the paper was.I would suggest that try to remember what kinda questions u were asked in exam than summarise the core areas asked than u should be able to know in which areas u are week.Probably that would hv taken u down.What i think being a student of ACCA ur study strategy & ability of thinking should be very good.
