ACCA Audit and Assurance (AA)

PDF copy of our question bank in the Study Materials section of the course. We teach key points in the notes and refer to the most important concepts. But we do not believe that time spent pouring over the notes is well spent. In the exam you must apply knowledge to questions, and this is how you should study to achieve success. You will come across points you have not met before in questions: learn the point from the question. Come back to try the question again and see if you remember it on the second attempt. There are Section A OTs to practice after you have worked a chapter of the notes. It is important not to skip these. Work them all carefully before you move onto the next chapter. EXAM SMART The ACCA has said that students who fail tend to do so because they fail the OT questions in section A. Ensure you pay attention to these questions and that you are able to get them exactly right. The ‘ALL OR NOTHING’ marking system means you get no marks for getting an OT question partly right. And the examiner tries to trick you with giving plausible alternative answers to the correct answer. Don’t be tricked: work out the answer to a question yourself and then look to see if what you have arrived at is on the examiner’s list. We divide the Section B questions into three types:  Tuition (T),  Revision (R) and  Stretch (S). On this first part of the course attempt all the Tuition (T) questions. If time allows, at the end of the tuition phase, have a second go at the tuition questions. You can also attempt the stretch questions in the period between your tuition and your revision course. You will then be well prepared for your revision course. On the revision phase of the course, attempt all of the Revision (R) questions – please do not attempt the revision questions until you come on your revision course. If you are happy with all the Tuition (T) questions, we recommend you try the Stretch questions between Tuition (T) and Revision (R). Attempt as many questions as you can in timed conditions. Mark your attempt. How did you do? If possible, come back to the question again later. EXAM SMART Always attempt a question yourself first – never go straight to looking at an answer or watching a debrief video: you will learn best by trying the question yourself first.
