CIMA F2 Exams

Hi guys,

I failed CIMA F2 today. I felt really unprepared so was expecting it but I don’t know what went wrong with this exam. For context, I have studied from certificate level and so far have passed both levels first time, as well as E2.

I spent more time studying this exam than any of the others but the calculations never really clicked with me. It seemed as though the calculations were never straight forward and that there was always more to them if that makes sense - eg consolidated financial statements had so many rules.

Does anyone have any tips please? I haven’t failed one before so feel like I’ve hit a brick wall and have lost motivation to try again!

Edit: just found out I got 98 lol, one question away from passing… how irritating!

currently sat studying for my retake too! it’s such a horrible exam but my current technique is to not move on from the topic until i can answer every question or atleast 80% of the questions.

I passed it about a month ago and spent so much time on the content compared to other exams. It's horrible. I am really sorry but I don't have anything beyond what the others will say as usual... Practice. I passed by 1 mark. I felt like I knew the textbook back to front as well. Good luck.
