Nature of the ACCA F5 paper The ACCA F5 Paper – Performance Management – continues from Paper F2 and is concerned with managing the business so as to achieve better performance. Most of the topics were introduced in Paper F2, but are examined in more detail and to a greater depth. Structure of the ACCA F5 paper There are three sections to the exam – Section A will comprise 15 multiple choice questions of 2 marks each; Section B of the exam comprises three scenarios, each with 5 multiple choice questions.

Section C has two ‘long form’ questions (a full question requiring a full answer) of 20 marks each.These two questions will come from decision making techniques, budgeting and control, and/or performance measurement areas of the syllabus.The Section A and B questions can (and will!) cover any areas of the syllabus. There are 3 hours for the exam, plus 15 minutes of reading time if you are taking the paper based (as opposed to the computer based) exam. Overall, approximately 50% of the exam involves calculations, and approximately 50% is written. Emphasis of the ACCA F5 exam Although most of the arithmetic involved is not difficult in itself, the calculation parts of questions are designed to check that you understand the techniques, and can decide what information is relevant, rather than checking that you have just learned rules. For the written parts of questions there is some learning involved, but most of them are again checking that you understand the techniques – that you can explain them, that you can discuss advantages and disadvantages, and that you can identify the problems of applying them in practice.

How to pass ACCA F5 Exam However much you have studied, your approach in the exam room can make a big difference. For Sections A and B, look for the short and easy questions and answer them first. In whatever time you have left then spend more time on the longer and harder questions. Try not to spend too long on either section – you should be allowing yourself about 27 minutes for each of Sections A and B. When the time for the whole exam is almost up, go back and guess the answer to any questions that you have not completed – guessing a few questions may only result in one correct answer, but 2 marks is huge if you would otherwise have failed on 48. Don’t waste time doing neat workings for Sections A and B – nobody will look at them.

In Section C allow yourself about 36 minutes for each question. Make sure that you write something for each part of each question – you might get stuck or you might run out of time, but you can always write something, and writing anything sensible will likely get you a mark. For the calculation parts of questions, make sure your workings are neat and easy to follow – the marks in Section C are for the workings rather than for the final answer.

Hi, i am taking my f5 exam in December so i have only a month to revise i know i should started my revision 3 months ago but i was busy with f1 Many of my friends said that i m too late and they are right i am taking more than one day to read and make notes for a chapter.

I am so scared i know i will not be able read this study kit in a month i m practicing questions but my friends said its not enough i will fail like this i am so stressed and demotivated for this f5 exam please help me i really need your help is it possible to prepare for F5 in a month or do i postpone the exam??? Hi all I will be sitting for the f5 exams in March 2017, i was wondering as per above that you mentioned “These two questions will come from decision making techniques, budgeting and control, and/or performance measurement and control areas of the syllabus.” for section C i believe, what do you mean, by control areas of the syllabus? Could someone please help elaborate that. Does that mean, that other core areas of the syllabus or a chapter about control areas? Lol I am still trying to figure that out. Anyways, thank you in advance for your reply, and in anticipation of your reply x alex. Don’t listen to all those people who are telling you that you do not have enough time.

I’m doing F5 and F6 on the 5th and 6th of December. Yes, I am under pressure, but this happens to any student so this is normal. The good side is, I have all the time in the world for it so basically all I do is stud (8-14 hours, depends) all night then sleep during the day, then wake up and do the same. I have BPP course notes, PR kit, etc but I like to dabble here sometimes.

Its very helpful. Guys, the ACCA exams are not as hard as you think they are. Also, I know this is the wrong place to say this but for those doing the F6, you still get marks in section C even if the figures were incorrect. I am sorry that you did not pass, but there is no magic formula – it is down to studying and to practice. Did you practice lots of exam-standard questions? Do you have a Revision/Exam Kit?

You must get a new one for the December exam because of the change in the format of the exam and the introduction of multiple choice questions. Why did you only attempt 3 questions?

You must attempt all the questions. It is better to have attempted all the questions even if you do not completely finish any of them, rather than to only attempt 3 questions.

You are right in that there are no lectures on chapters 3, 4 and 9. However they are covered in the course notes (and there are answers at the back to the examples in the notes. There will never be a lecture on chapter 4 – as you will see on the list of lectures, the examiner has said that there will not be calculations and it will only ever be a small written part of a question.

What is written in the notes is as much as you could need. The other two chapters do include some arithmetic but they should be easy enough without lectures (most of chapter 9 is revision of Paper F2). The course notes (like all course notes) do not go into as much details as Study Texts and therefore cannot be guaranteed to cover 100% of the syllabus. They do however (combined with the lectures) cover more than enough to score highly in the exam – provided, obviously, that you do properly understand what is covered. There is little point in using other providers Course Notes in addition to ours.

If you want to study more, then better to obtain a Study Text from one of the providers. However, again, our Course Notes and lectures contain enough to pass the exam well 🙂.
