2. What is the key to revising for the F6 examination? Effective revision involves plenty of question practice. There is no substitute for practicing exam standard questions under exam conditions. If you find that you cannot complete questions in the permitted time then maybe you need to look at how you are presenting your answers. Are you wasting time by giving unnecessarily detailed workings or explanations, or are you providing information that is not required? It is important that you cover everything in the syllabus because F6 is a compulsory paper and you do not want to find yourself having to answer a question on a topic for which you have not revised. However, some topics are more important than others since they are examined more frequently. My examiner’s approach article in the January 2007 edition of the student accountant lists the most important syllabus areas that you can expect to see most frequently examined. |
