For the Strategic Business Leader exam you are also required to demonstrate the professional skills that employers deem as most in demand in the accountancy sector.
Exam technique includes planning how you will work through the exam, time planning, understanding and breaking down requirements, how to structure your answer and how to convert your plan into a final answer.
