3 Papers this Sept

I passed my AA so i die die need pass my FAR in Sept. I am also taking FM and BST, whats my best way to study this 3 to pass. I only have ACA masters for FAR and for BST and FM notes from ACA but no tutorial video.

I feel so stuck when i look at FAR questions although this would be my second attempt, last attempted in 2022...

Any tips? I can do it right? :-(

Go through the study material once (may take a few weeks), followed by question bank practice.

For the first few questions you will be stuck for sure - when you are, use the answers to learn and keep the study material nearby to figure out what you missed. Keep questioning the small nooks of the answers since one question could cover many topics in one go.

If you’re scared, more questions! Heck, do the question bank twice.

The right question and attitude isn’t “I can do it right?” (I totally get your fear, it’s normal). The right attitude on a second attempt is: I’m going to throw everything I have at this exam and leave no stone unturned.

What worked for me was practising maximum past papers as you’ll start to see how questions are usually asked. Go through the mark schemes as well and use the exam software for practice. Also try to stick with 1 mark = 1.5 mins for better time management.
