How should candidates revise for the F6 examination?
Effective revision involves plenty of question practice. There is no substitute for practising exam-standard questions under exam conditions. If candidates find that they cannot complete the questions in the permitted time, then maybe they need to look at how they are presenting their answers. Are they wasting time by giving unnecessarily detailed workings or explanations, or are they providing information that is not required? It is important that candidates cover everything in the syllabus when revising because F6 is a compulsory paper and they do not want to find themselves having to answer a question on a topic for which they have not revised. However, some topics are more important than others since they are examined more frequently. The F6(UK) examiner’s approach article in the February 2011 edition of Student Accountant lists the syllabus areas that you can expect to see most frequently examined.
