教你几招，轻松让你在ACCA考试中保持专注？

发布时间：2019-12-29

不管是职场，生活，你都不可能在一长段时间内只专注一件事。那么面对多门考试，怎样才能不手忙脚乱呢？

首先，我们要消除一个思维误区。

人是不能进行真正的“多线程工作”的。你的大脑不可能像电脑那样，开着好几个后台，一边放着音乐，一边让你聊微信，一边下载电影

你必须在某个时间段只专注一件事。

回想一下，你复习高数的时候，想着A考，看似是一心二用，但实际上你是复习了一会儿高数，然后想了一会儿A考，你努力把神思拉回来，又复习了一会儿高数，然后思维又切换到A考……

实际上你的大脑在某个时间点只集中在一件事情上，但因为它的重点在不停切换，造成了你大脑一片混沌，手忙脚乱的错觉。

有一个小实验是这样的：

方法一：这里有一个单词叫multitasking，还有一串数字是12345……，现在你需要将单词和数字一一对应起来，写成 m1u2l3t4a5…

方法二：先写下multitasking这个单词，再将12345一一对应标注在字母后面，写下来的结果依然是m1u2l3t4a5……

但很显然，方法二消耗的时间会比方法一短很多对吧？

这就是因为你在使用方法一时，在不停地将思维从字母和数字之间来回切换，这个切换的速度快到让你忽略，但实际上也都是有时间成本的。

所以复习效率低，也是因为你的思维在不停切换，浪费了大量不必要的时间。并且忙了大半天也没有任何一科有明显进展，这时沮丧挫败灰心自责一系列负面情绪都扑过来了，会让学习陷入恶性循环。

那到底要如何从容面对考试呢？

多线程任务，不是同时做多件事，而是将一个时间段划分好几份，来分配给不同任务。所以多线程学习的核心其实是任务管理。

我们只需要确定哪个时间段要做哪个任务，然后保证一段时间只做一件事。

比如上午集中复习高数，下午集中复习思修，晚上集中复习A考，甚至，也可以先集中复习期末，再专心复习A考。

当然，道理我都懂，但我管不住自己这脑袋啊，我就是忍不住切换思维怎么办呢？

这里51题库考试学习网小编提供几个方法：

1. 对时间进行规划。

比如3天以后要考思修，那么你就需要规划这3天，你每天要花多少时间来复（yu）习（xi）思修。你将每一科的计划按紧急程度列出来，写下每天每一科需要进行到什么进度。

这时你就有了每天的小目标。

2. 每天总结自己的进度条更新到哪里了。

建议还是要每天列出to do list，将目标尽量细化，然后在完成每个小任务之后打个勾。

这个习惯看上去非常鸡肋没用，其实超级有必要。这就像你在电脑上完成了一项工作，然后点击了保存。这样的仪式感会提醒我们，让我们的大脑更清楚：这件事已经做完了，可以松一口气不用再想它了。

3. 不一定要先做最紧急的事，先做最重要的事。

甚至，如果你的大脑坚持要每五分钟就从高数切换到思修，那建议你先背一会儿思修，将进度条拉长一点，消除你的焦虑以后再去安心刷高数。

4. 接受自己的不完美。

考A的同学一般都比较有上进心，对自己要求比较高。

一方面这是好事，能让你不断督促自己努力，进步；一方面这样的性格也容易让你苛责自己，产生自责感。所以经常会有同学，一遇到没有头绪的时候就开始心态崩坏，结局通常是越做越糟。

这里学姐要说的就是，偶尔发挥失常，进入状态困难是每个人都会出现的状况。如果遇到这种情况，不要轻易否定自己的能力。首先我们要相信自己可以应对，这样我们才能真正做到有条理，少出错。

如何保持长时间的专注？

除了手忙脚乱之外，很多同学还有一个问题，就是备考的时候忍不住玩手机。看书五分钟，聊八卦两小时，这种现象实在非常普遍。

很多狠人会采取最简单粗暴的方法：不带手机去图书馆。

但是如果我要查单词，信息检索，甚至要联络别人怎么办？况且以后大家工作要提高效率，也不可能使用关掉手机拒绝诱惑这种方法。

所以我们要如何在干扰的情况下，做到长时间的专注呢？

（1）先从能够快速集中注意力的事情做起。

备考时，会每天在备考前抄一遍字帖。

一方面，这样难度不高又不那么吸引注意力的工作会让我的心静下来，另一方面，也顺便练了下字hhh。

ACCAer们也可以想想有什么类似的事情是可以让自己平静专注下来，又不容易沉迷的。在每天复习前先做一遍这件事，有一个良好的开端。

（2）尽量让手参与进来。

学姐自己的心得是，如果实在很难集中注意力，就采取抄书的方式。因为光看书，你很容易就跳过内容，尤其是那些很难的重点。而手写的速度慢，并且需要输出，所以你的大脑一定会对信息进行处理的。

但这个方法只在你发现心思非常浮躁的时候有效，大多数时候，你还是需要一边理解一边输出。

这时候就不要只是把内容照抄下来而已了。你需要做的，就是将书本上的重点语句换一种表达方式写下来。这时候你的大脑才会去主动思考。

此外，画思维导图也是很好的方法，寻找每个知识点之间的联系，并对下一节知识内容进行预期。

你想想，你看教科书会走神，为什么看小说就不会走神呢？就是因为你总是在预测小说情节的走向，然后用之后读到的情节不断修正之前的预测，这样你的大脑会处在一个很活跃，主动接受信息的状态。

最后，提醒大家要适当地拒绝舒适。

不要因为冬天太冷，就拒绝出门待在床上复习。在图书馆的效率通常都会比在寝室高，这个大家都有体会。

下面小编为大家准备了 ACCA考试 的相关考题，供大家学习参考。

2 (a) Define the following terms:

(i) Forensic Accounting;

(ii) Forensic Investigation;

(iii) Forensic Auditing. (6 marks)

正确答案：
2 Crocus Co
(a) (i) Forensic accounting utilises accounting, auditing, and investigative skills to conduct an examination into a company’s
financial statements. The aim of forensic accounting is to provide an accounting analysis that is potentially suitable for
use in court. Forensic accounting is an umbrella term encompassing both forensic investigations and forensic audits. It
includes the audit of financial information to prove or disprove a fraud, the interview process used during an
investigation, and the act of serving as an expert witness.
Tutorial note: Forensic accounting can be used in a very wide range of situations, e.g. settling monetary disputes in
relation to a business closure, marriage break up, insurance claim, etc. Credit will be awarded for any reasonable
examples provided.
(ii) A forensic investigation is a process whereby a forensic accountant carries out procedures to gather evidence, which
could ultimately be used in legal proceedings or to settle disputes. This could include, for example, an investigation into
money laundering. A forensic investigation involves many stages (similar to an audit), including planning, evidence
gathering, quality control reviews, and finally results in the production of a report.
(iii) Forensic auditing is the specific use of audit procedures within a forensic investigation to find facts and gather evidence,
usually focused on the quantification of a financial loss. This could include, for example, the use of analytical
procedures, and substantive procedures to determine the amount of an insurance claim.

(b) (i) Compute the corporation tax liability of Speak Write Ltd for its first trading period on the assumption

that the IR 35 legislation applies to all of its income. (2 marks)

正确答案：

 

(b) Describe the principal audit procedures to be carried out in respect of the following:

(i) The measurement of the share-based payment expense; (6 marks)

正确答案：
(b) (i) Principal audit procedures – measurement of share-based payment expense
– Obtain management calculation of the expense and agree the following from the calculation to the contractual
terms of the scheme:
– Number of employees and executives granted options
– Number of options granted per employee
– The official grant date of the share options
– Vesting period for the scheme
– Required performance conditions attached to the options.
– Recalculate the expense and check that the fair value has been correctly spread over the stated vesting period.
– Agree fair value of share options to specialist’s report and calculation, and evaluate whether the specialist report is
a reliable source of evidence.
– Agree that the fair value calculated is at the grant date.
Tutorial note: A specialist such as a chartered financial analyst would commonly be used to calculate the fair value
of non-traded share options at the grant date, using models such as the Black-Scholes Model.
– Obtain and review a forecast of staffing levels or employee turnover rates for the duration of the vesting period, and
scrutinise the assumptions used to predict level of staff turnover.
– Discuss previous levels of staff turnover with a representative of the human resources department and query why
0% staff turnover has been predicted for the next three years.
– Check the sensitivity of the calculations to a change in the assumptions used in the valuation, focusing on the
assumption of 0% staff turnover.
– Obtain written representation from management confirming that the assumptions used in measuring the expense
are reasonable.
Tutorial note: A high degree of scepticism must be used by the auditor when conducting the final three procedures
due to the management assumption of 0% staff turnover during the vesting period.

4 Assume today’s date is 15 May 2005.

In March 1999, Bob was made redundant from his job as a furniture salesman. He decided to travel round the world,

and did so, returning to the UK in May 2001. Bob then decided to set up his own business selling furniture. He

started trading on 1 October 2001. After some initial success, the business made losses as Bob tried to win more

customers. However, he was eventually successful, and the business subsequently made profits.

The results for Bob’s business were as follows:

Period Schedule D Case I

Trading Profits/(losses)

￡

1 October 2001 – 30 April 2002 13,500

1 May 2002 – 30 April 2003 (18,000)

1 May 2003 – 30 April 2004 28,000

Bob required funds to help start his business, so he raised money in three ways:

(1) Bob is a keen cricket fan, and in the 1990s, he collected many books on cricket players. To raise money, Bob

started selling books from his collection. These had risen considerably in value and sold for between ￡150 and

￡300 per book. None of the books forms part of a set. Bob created an internet website to advertise the books.

Bob has not declared this income, as he believes that the proceeds from selling the books are non-taxable.

(2) He disposed of two paintings and an antique silver coffee set at auction on 1 December 2004, realising

chargeable gains totalling ￡23,720.

(3) Bob took a part time job in a furniture store on 1 January 2003. His annual salary has remained at ￡12,600

per year since he started this employment.

Bob has 5,000 shares in Willis Ltd, an unquoted trading company based in the UK. He subscribed for these shares

in August 2000, paying ￡3 per share. On 1 December 2004, Bob received a letter informing him that the company

had gone into receivership. As a result, his shares were almost worthless. The receivers dealing with the company

estimated that on the liquidation of the company, he would receive no more than 10p per share for his shareholding.

He has not yet received any money.

Required:

(a) Write a letter to Bob advising him on whether or not he is correct in believing that his book sales are nontaxable.

Your advice should include reference to the badges of trade and their application to this case.

(9 marks)

正确答案：
(a) Evidence of trading
[Client address]
[Own address]
[Date]
Dear Bob,
I note that you have been selling some books in order to raise some extra income. While you believe that the sums are not
taxable, I believe that there may be a risk of the book sales being treated as a trade, and therefore taxable under Schedule D
Case I. We need to refer to guidance in the form. of a set of principles known as the ‘badges of trade’. These help determine
whether or not a trade exists, and need to be looked at in their entirety. The badges are as follows.
1. The subject matter
Some assets can be enjoyed by themselves as an investment, while others (such as large amounts of aircraft linen) are
clearly not. It is likely that such assets are acquired as trading stock, and are therefore a sign of trading. Sporting books
can be an investment, and so this test is not conclusive.
2. Frequency of transactions
Where transactions are frequent (not one-offs), this suggests trading. You have sold several books, which might suggest
trading, although you have only done this for a short period - between one and two years.
3. Length of ownership
Where items are bought and sold soon afterwards, this indicates trading. You bought your books in the 1990s, and the
length of time between acquisition and sale would not suggest trading.
4. Supplementary work and marketing
You are actively marketing the books on your internet website, which is an indication of trading.
5. Profit motive
A motive to make profit suggests trading activity. You sold the books to raise funds for your property business, and not
to make a profit as such, which suggests that your motive was to raise cash, and not make profits.
6. The way in which the asset sold was acquired.
Selling assets which were acquired unintentionally (such as a gift) is not usually seen as trading. You acquired the books
for your collection over a period of time, and while these were intentional acquisitions, the reasons for doing so were for
your personal pleasure.
By applying all of these tests, it should be possible to argue that you were not trading, merely selling some assets in
order to generate short-term cash for your business.
The asset disposals will be taxed under the capital gain tax rules, but as the books are chattels and do not form. part of
a set, they will be exempt from capital gains tax.
Yours sincerely
A N. Accountant
