F1

Q： ACCA官网只提供了 F1/F2/F3样卷各一篇，之后会不会出更多F1/F2/F3的样卷？

A：No, there are no plans to publish more F1, F2 and F3 papers on our website. Please read the study guides produced by our official publishers for further examples of exam questions.

Q：ACCA官网上发布的考纲以及考官文章都是美国和英国的ACCA老师写的，那会不会不适合中国学生看？

A：The syllabus covers relatively few theories or models. Those selected are well-known and easy to understand. The idea is that candidates should understand how theories or models help people to think about issues. Inclusion of a theory or model does not necessarily mean that it is regarded as being the best in its area or well-validated.

Q：ACCA场景案例分析题在多项选择题中比重增加，会不会导致考试难度上升？

A：We have analysed our candidates' exam results and found no evidence of a difference in pass rates for this type of question as compared with other types.

We have included scenario-type questions in this paper to better prepare candidates for papers F2 and F3, where they need to apply their knowledge more than remember facts.

"Scenarios" on this paper are generally short and tuition providers are now much better at preparing candidates for the wide range of question styles they will encounter.

Q：ACCA考题是怎么考察考纲上的知识点的？

A：Most questions are dedicated to only one subject area of the study guide; questions will not combine areas nor will one scenario be used as the basis for more than one question.

There are an equal number of questions drawn from each area of the syllabus, whether candidates are doing a computer-based or paper-based exam.This means about eight or nine questions for each section of the syllabus.

Q：ACCA机考和笔试，哪个通过率更高？

A：Pass rates for the two exams are broadly similar. We have found that candidates tend to choose the exam type which is convenient for them, rather than just a particular format because they think it will be easier.

Q： ACCA F1中考察的知识点为P3的学习打下了基础，然而P3却是出了名的写写写考试，不像F1的答案都很短。这样会不会导致P3的通过率下降？

A：No, because candidates have to take exam F4 before P3, and F4 contains questions requiring essay-style answers. Candidates will have plenty of practice in writing essay-style answers in the run up to their P3 exams.

Q： ACCA F1里的economics相关知识点从考纲中删掉了吗？

A：No, it is included within Section A of the new syllabus and a new subject area A5 has been added, focusing on basic aspects of micro economics.

Q：在2014年2月的改革中，ACCA F1做了哪些结构性的变动？

A：From February 2014 the CBE and paper based exams for F1 changed from the old format of 50 two mark objective test questions to a new structure. The new structure has 30 two mark objective test questions, 16 one mark questions and six four-mark questions. The style of the paper now allows ACCA to examine more application than was possible under the old format, but ensures that a sufficient breadth of the syllabus can be assessed on each occasion. Each of the four mark questions assesses one of the main sections/syllabus headings of the syllabus.

Q： ACCA考试只会考察ACCA考纲上所列举的知识点吗？

A：The syllabus covers relatively few theories or models. Those selected are well known and relatively straightforward to understand. The idea is that candidates should understand how theories or models help people think about issues. The inclusion of a theory or model does not necessarily mean that this is regarded as the only relevant theory in the area, but is one that is most well recognised in the management literature. F1 will not examine specific theories or models which are not explicitly named somewhere in the syllabus, so it is worth gaining a good knowledge and understanding of those which are.

Q：ACCA F1考纲以及案例分析的题目会不会增加F1考试的难度？

A：We have analysed our candidates' exam results and found no significant evidence of a difference in pass rates for this type of question as compared with other types. However, this type of question makes the question more practical and relevant for the workplace and therefore increases the validity of the examination as a whole.

We have included scenario-type questions in this examination to better prepare candidates for the Fundamentals Skills module, where they need to apply their knowledge further.

Q： ACCA F1考试会有计算题吗？

A：F1 is mainly an examination testing verbal knowledge and skills. However, there are aspects of the syllabus such as subject areas A4 and A5 which examine macro and micro economics, which may involve some calculations. Example of these would be questions about aggregate demand in the economy and those involving elasticity and cross-elasticity of demand.

Q：为什么有时候ACCA F1考试的通过率比F2或F3的通过率都高呢？

A：Candidates for F1 are usually well prepared for their examinations and the F1 syllabus is a very broad and knowledge based syllabus about business in general.  Some candidates may have acquired knowledge of many of the business areas covered in the exam before they registered with ACCA in previous studies but also through their exposure to business media.  But mainly the preparedness of candidates can be attributed to the excellent coverage of this examination in the official study texts and by tuition providers.  Currently pass rates for F1 appear to be settling down and we would expect them to become more consistent with those of F2 and F3 over time.

Q：近期，ACCA F1考纲的大变动是哪些？

A：Apart from the wider assessment of economics to include more on micro economics in subject area A5 introduced a couple of years ago, more recently F1 has widened its scope to include new areas on modern ways of structuring businesses such as the growth of shared service centres, outsourcing, offshoring and the emergence of boundaryless, modular, hollow and virtual organisations. The ACCA study textbooks are now expected to cover these new areas. Some other areas in leadership, communication and personal effectiveness have now been combined and rationalised. For  a review of the summary of changes in the F1 syllabus candidates should refer to the Study Guide for the examination on the ACCA website.
