firstly-for those who have familiarise themselves with some/most of the topics on calculation/second-timers(esp those who failed bcos of theoritical questions) -just practice calculation only to the extent to see if u can do it or not eg a npv question
-just make sure u can put capital allowance,variable cost correctly and in the rit yr and dont nned to calc all.unless there's an irr question which u r really bad at.if the latter question is linked..well..just check your answers on your calculation and assumptions and see if it's correct-if positive npv,based your answer on that.
secondly,do MORE theory questions.personally i think there's more & more theory question n some of students cant answer them-->fail/lower marks awardeed.u cant just let ur mind think.
if u r thinking u have not study enough on theory-just do it.some of them are based on common sense.for eg,dividend growth model.
see the formula first,then you get taht the dividends are calculated based on a fixed rate of growth.-so there's it,1 limitation.
even if u r wrong,u can learn more.try to practice back later
revise on major theories eg miller orr,baumol,m&m ,advantages,uses and limitations.for me i think bpp kit is useful,although u may read kaplan if bpp gets too technical for you.
questions:bpp/kaplan kit/lecturer kit
point is-those with past year exam papers+ other questions
for those students whose -calc question is not v.good-well u practice the same type until u knew THE WAY how u do it.but still i sugest a main focus on theory unless u r really good at it,or you got a good lecturer on theory parts
i suggest do a notes on main theories,puzzling topics,advantages/disv/limitation.for adv/disv,you can get it with your answer,kit,lecturer notes-i think 6points will be sufficient(for memorise purposes)
from a second try student perspective
