Exam in 12 days

Hi so I have an exam in 12 days it’s an accounting exam but it’s within the business and management course I have looked through all past papers and noticed the same 5 topics come up however my syllabus has 10 topics would it be wise to only revise those 5 topics as I have limited time ?

Hi Smart282,

You’re doing really well already by spotting the patterns in past papers, that’s such a smart move! With 12 days left, focusing on the five recurring topics is definitely a good idea, especially if they’ve consistently appeared. That said, it might be a bit risky to completely ignore the other five.

A good approach would be to dedicate most of your time to fully understanding and practising the key five topics, as they’re clearly high-priority. But, it’s worth setting aside a bit of time to quickly go over the basics of the other five. Even if they’re less likely to show up, being somewhat familiar with them could save you valuable marks if they do.

Make sure you’re practising as many past papers as possible under timed conditions, it’ll really help you feel prepared and identify any weak areas to sharpen up on. Also, remember to pace yourself so you don’t burn out. Break up your revision into manageable chunks, take regular breaks, and stay hydrated.

You’ve got this! It’s clear you’re putting the work in, and with a solid plan, you’re set to do brilliantly. Best of luck, you’ll smash it! 🙌

Hi there,
looking at past papers and spotting patterns for what comes up on the exam is definitely the move - those topics will almost certainly make up the large proportion if not all of your exam however you don't want to be caught out so I would always use my 70/30 rule.
Spend 70% of your time making sure you know those topics inside and out for some guaranteed marks, but spend 30% of your time going over having a look at potential questions for the topics you don't think will come up just on the off chance they do.
Hope this helps
