Hi, As per my discussion with one valuer, he first check your undestanidng on Professional ethics even if the you written it last.. we know now ethics comes not in a compulsory section, but still my suggestion is to score high on this area since 16 - 20 marks coverage and is a definite question to ask in the exam. So if your ethics answer gone bad so you will have to be in caution. I know some of you might have passed even without answering ethics part.. but still its a suggestion.
Second, apply your practical skills in the anwsers besides the theory part to make an impression since most of the valuers disregard the answer keys and expect practical answers... The fact is this.. but valuers may be there purely depending on answer keys so do not disregard material and practice manual...
Further the last descripttive (4 marks x 5 sub questions) section i find more repetitive questions and if you check past 12-16 exams they are repetitive and if you study 36 such topics then at least 3-4 sub part will repeat..
Further concentrate recently amended topics like schedule vi and reporting aspects..
I applied above strategy and got good marks in auditing (61).
Hope the above useful to you..
