I’ve been pouring over the IJMB Accounting Past Questions with Solutions (2018-2024) lately. What a goldmine for anyone serious about the IJMB Advanced Level program. Six years of official papers is nothing to sneeze at. Covers both Financial Accounting in Paper 1 and Cost and Management Accounting in Paper 2.

The solutions really set this collection apart. Each one is meticulously worked out, step-by-step. You can tell these were developed by lecturers who actually understand what examiners are looking for. I’ve used other resources before, but they often just give you the final answer. Useless when you’re trying to learn the process.

I love how they’ve organized everything by topic. Financial Statements, Partnership Accounts, Company Accounts, Cost Classification. Makes it easy to focus on whatever’s giving you trouble. Marginal Costing was my personal nemesis until I worked through those sections.

The worked solutions for complex problems are absolutely invaluable. Proper bookkeeping entries, correct formatting for financial statements, analytical techniques. It’s all there. You’re not just memorizing answers. You’re seeing the entire accounting process unfold. That’s what clicked for me.

After going through this collection, I started noticing patterns. Some question types show up religiously every year. Others carry more marks. Helps you be strategic about where to focus your energy. I’m all about working smarter, not harder.

Those financial analysis and interpretation questions are the real differentiators. They’re challenging but worth mastering. These are what separate distinction students from the rest of us.

The supplementary materials are surprisingly helpful. Accounting ratios cheat sheet saved my life multiple times. The standard templates for financial statements cleared up formatting issues I’d been struggling with for ages. The cost classification frameworks finally made those concepts click.

I particularly appreciated the examiner comments on common errors. Made me realize I wasn’t alone in my struggles. Their strategic advice on approaching different question types changed my entire exam strategy.

No wonder this collection is the standard reference nationwide. My tutor practically pushed it into my hands on day one. It genuinely reflects what you’ll face in current exams. Worth every naira spent on it.
