ACCA Exam Tips
✔ Take time to read through all questions.
✔ Divide exam time equally between all answers, let's say 30 minutes. After a half-hour start answering the next question. It's better to come back and add something at the end of the exam, rather than waste an hour answering one question with no time left to answer the rest of them.
✔ Make sure you understand the question, its requirements and what the examiner is asking for before answering.
✔ Start from the questions you know and are confident about.
✔ Try to answer all questions. If you don't have time left to answer the question properly, write down the key points, so the examiner sees that you understand this topic. It might help to earn an extra mark.
✔ Don't spend too much time on the introduction as every second counts. Instead, get straight to the point and make it clear for the examiner.
✔ Focus on the main points when answering the questions. Don't repeat the same things and don't waste your time filling in the pages with unnecessary information. Pay attention to the quality of your answers, rather than the quantity.
✔ Make sure your answer is related to the question.
✔ Plan your answer. Spend one minute deciding what you want to write, create a short plan for your answer (1,2,3) and follow it. Keep it simple, but organized and structured.
✔ Don't spend too much time on the details.
✔ Leave space after each answer in case you have some time at the end of the exam to add something.
