Kaplan

Embed your knowledge on the core models from Johnson and Scholes (the examiner

based this paper on their work).

When answering questions, write answers like you are writing to your senior

management. Make it as professional as possible. Marks are allocated to this in section A.

Do not start writing answers straightaway. Take a minute to think about the structure

and presentation of the answers.

It is important with this level to remember that writing lots of knowledge and theory

will not get you through the exam. The key is application to the material and expanding the

relevance to the scenario.

We suggest watching the news / reading the papers, but with a critical eye. For

instance when you see that a business has launched a new product or moved into a new

market think about the theories you have learnt that may be relevant. In this case it could

be:

Porter’s generic strategies

Ansoff

Bowman’s clock

Then apply those theories to the real life situation – understand why they have created

this product/why they have gone into this market. With practice you will find it easier to

apply the theories to the scenario.

And of course you can do this for other areas of the syllabus.

There is nothing worse for a marker than getting a script which is just a page of writing.

Try to think about making your script easier to read for the marker. Headings and

Sub-headings along with a bit of space will help. Then use your paragraph to explain the

point you are making.

If it is easy for the marker to see the points being made this can make the difference

between pass and fail for a borderline script, include application, plus relevance within your

statement, avoid listing.

If you use the word ‘and’ in your answer, are you making two separate points? If yes,

maybe you need to split your paragraph into two headings / sub-headings.

There are 3 professional marks which will constitute professionalism, presentation and

layout.

Know the theory and apply it.

Create mind maps of the key knowledge, then learn these.

Do practice questions under timed conditions and if possible, get them marked.

Make sure you’ve read all the current examiner articles, available on the ACCA

website.

Get good business awareness – read a quality newspaper.

Use the reading time to select questions, and get frameworks for answer plans.

Do a section B question first.

Don’t focus on the numbers – do not spend more than 15 minutes on them per

question.

Watch the clock – allocate your time efficiently – don’t overrun.

Layout your answers in a way that the marker can clearly read and understand.

Read the question carefully!

Bpp

Section A will be a compulsory case study question with several requirements relating

to the

same scenario information. The question will usually assess and link several subject

areas

from across the syllabus, and will require the demonstration of high-level capabilities

to

evaluate, relate and apply the information in the scenario to the question

requirements.

There is often some financial or numerical data in the scenario and marks will be

available

for numerical analysis which supports your written argument.

Section A continues to consume time in reading and absorbing – three pages of text

and

numbers are becoming the norm. Thus, students must not underestimate the

importance of

practising these 50 mark questions not only from a knowledge perspective, but,

critically,

from a time management and “effort” perspective: reading; assimilating; utilising; all

take

time and to be effective in these three activities needs practice like anything else. Your

prospects can dramatically improve if you follow this advice.

Section B questions are more likely to examine discrete subject areas. They will be

based on

short scenarios, and you will be expected to apply information from the scenarios to

the

question requirements. Again the questions can be drawn from all areas of the syllabus,

and

the limited extent of the choice (two from three) reinforces the importance of covering

all

areas of the syllabus. It is also highlighting the point that we have seen calculations

examined in the optional Section B questions as well as in the compulsory Section A

question. This is a trend we expect to continue. A study strategy which includes making

time

to revisit the numerical areas of the syllabus to refresh knowledge would be wise.

P3 has the following syllabus areas:

A Strategic position

B Strategic choices
