Note:
Above list has been prepared on request of students to highlight what must be done in last 10
days based on professional judgment of the instructor. Students are highly encouraged to cover
each and every topic properly. Anything can be tested in your exams and there is no guarantee
that the exam will cover above areas only.

Those who secured less than 70 marks in mock exams are also requested to do recent 6
attempt past papers (no need to write everything down as it takes a lot of time) just read ACCA
suggested answers twice or thrice for each of the answers

No need to write anything for practice, you have very less time. Just read
