Hi Surphyn ,

Read this article below written by once ago ACCA student in the student blog who has now become ACCA member:

The exams are 2 months time and I have not started reading!
It’s that time of the year when many of us notice that we have not yet started reading. A chill goes though our veins when we notice that all the targets we set at the beginning of the study for the Exams session have not been achieved. Such targets include putting in 2 hours a day, putting off time each weekend to go through the week's study material and many more. The panic shall certainly set in and before you know it, you are spending more time worrying than studying. You may even start carrying study notes of all the papers you are doing with the hope of completing all of them in one day. Well, your situation may not be as adverse as the ones I faced, but I am certain that there are always ounces of panic cropping up every time you think about Exams.
I believe that the first thing we have to appreciate is that come Exams, we shall be required to face the examiner and present what we have learnt during the period. My hope is that we convince the examiner that we deserve a pass.
Having gone through similar situations, I have a few recommendations that may be helpful to you;
• First, we have to take our minds off the past and stop blaming ourselves for all the time we have wasted

• We should appreciate that all we have now is the time that is left and it is self-defeating to spend it worrying about the time we have lost   

• We should then set up a realistic plan for the time that is left and put this on paper.
• If possible, share these decisions with your accountability partner (friend, husband, wife, discussion group, mate etc) who shall keep reminding you of the decision that you made.
Today, you have over 30 days to transform a 20% to a 55% or even more. This is a lot of time and I believe that the decisions that you make now shall go a long way in giving you that victory in the Exams sitting. I would like to encourage those who may have lost hope that you are not out of this race by a long stretch. We just have to go back to the basics. We should not concentrate on what we don't have (e.g. time, study materials) but concentrate on what we have.

There are various resources at your disposal that you may not be optimizing and it is your responsibility to identify them and put them to use. The articles in the Student Accountant, the lecture notes and exam kits seated in our rooms, the pass cards and many more resources at our disposal should be harnessed and exploited for our benefit. I discovered that the best place to find the articles in the student accountant is actually the ACCA website where they are arranged according to the respective papers.
Finally, I am reminded of my final sitting (Previous Exam) where I spent some of the time just before the exams sorting out a personal crisis and I was tempted to believe that I was heading for failure. During this time of confusion, the Lord strengthened me and reminded me of all the time that I had put in before and these few days of diversion would not deter my purpose. We can not accept to develop a sense of defeat. The most dangerous thing is to believe that you are not going to make it in Exams because if you do, you may indeed not make it. You have it in you to succeed and you have to build confidence coupled with great concentration, sacrifice and determination. Our concentration is greatly impaired by thinking about our inadequacies and I believe that if you take your eyes of the past and concentrate on optimizing the time that is left, you shall certainly achieve that prestigious pass. You should do your best because your best is good enough!

Final advise from me.......Practise, practise,practise,practise questions under timed condition and on the real exam ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THE QUESTIONS.....i thought i will fail my F7 last sem because i found it very tough and my mind went blank...i mean totally blank...but i did my best but made sure i answered all parts even when i didnt know what to write in the theory questions...i wrote something logically and i strictly followed the requirements like when it said " NO NEED TO DO CONSOLIDATED GOODWILL"..i did not do it and miraculously i passed with 51 marks!!!!!!

ALL THE BEST....and Believe YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!

any reasons why you prefer UK? You can get it in Msia, it's the same qualification. (cheaper accomodation, food, living expenses, transport somemore)
