I passed the 5 Certificate level exams (4 first time + 1 resit), passed P1 at the second attempt and passed E1 first time. I have just taken the F1 exam and failed. I'm just so disillusioned again, I felt completely ready for this exam and feel I know a lot of the syllabus yet it seemed again that nothing I knew was asked in the questions.
Again, I have done a lot of work for this exam. I used First Intuition's study materials and bought the two Aptitude test's from CIMAstudy. I have studied hard since May/June with a huge focus on question practice and mocks.
I didn't feel the exam was horrendously difficult, but still, I've come out with a fail. I failed P1 first time with a score of 98 so I'm interested in seeing by how much I've failed this one. Also, yet again, I struggled for time and the clock ran down to 0:00.
I don't know where I go from here, I know I will be told "just keep going", but after putting 3 months of solid work in to revise but still failing I don't know what to do next? It's impossible to know the whole syllabus inside and out but what do I do now? I've failed 2 out of the 3 modules first time now and I can't keep doing this throughout the rest of the qualification - I'm self funding so I'll have spent a fortune! Not to mention the angst and frustration of keep failing.

I can definitely relate to this. I failed P1 first time and also F1 first time. I'm currently on a break to think about whether I want to continue pursuing CIMA
I hope you've managed to get past your exams now

Hi All
Can anyone who has recently passed CIMA F1 IF could they provide some tips on how they approached the exam, and what they thought were the most popular topics tested ?
Had a CIMA 2 year break, it would be great if this forum board was more active, just like it was a few years back
thanks in advance, David R

CIMA Facebook groups are very active and have large membership base. I recommend it for all students struggling and in need of a forum for assistance.

asset revaluations, cash flow questions would come up a lot in the exam. I had 4 of these questions
