The paper was fair. But too many things to write at a very short time. Yes, time management was a BIG issue! Passing the paper is already good enough for me. Amen

Miracle please shine upon me.Topics examined :
1. Position analysis
2. Acquisition evaluation
3. CSF & KPI
4. Culture
5. Process change management
6. Project management – post project review, post implementation review & benefits realisation review & management.
7. pricing strategythese topics seem like keep on repeating but I found not enough time to complete.
Time management really a big issue.- Topics: 1

alright great to hear that 🙂 Thank you!
i think you missed the franchise part on Q1b. We were asked to analyse franchise after acquisition i think ?
Hi,
I used PESTEL for external and Resource Audit for internal evaluation. Is it ok?

Q1 Used PESTEL (external) and SW from SWOT with some OT as part of my external. Used SAF for the next part. CSF and KPI just mentioned some factors and which KPI would be useful to mearure them.
Knew loads about project managment but found that I referred to the scenario alot and not much about theory.
Did the last question as I was running out of time and thought the one on culture would be alot more lengthy.
Managed to use most of the article on pricing about customers, cost, competitors etc. The final part was strange as I thought the regressions had little to do with pricing but mentioned things like correlation coefficient, difficult to extrapolate (better to interpolate). Mentioned the source of the data and also they didnt take into account the external factors such as the future drop in sales.
Hopefully I did enough to pass 🙁 very very time pressured….

Exam was challenging but quite fair. Scenarios were lengthy as usual which ate into my time (I’m a slow reader). did Q1,Q2 and part a of Q3. Couldn’t finish the paper so lost around 20 marks on Q3. Hopefully I did enough on the first 2 questions to cover it. Good luck everybody!

Can I ask , If i answer the question with the correct model but if i didn’t explain d point very good (maybe sometime wrong explaination but correct point) , is it will still gain marks or …?
I jz hope i can pass this time T.T
i think it was an ok exam. my time management let me down. only had 30 min to try and do a second section b question.
i chose q2 and q3. q2 was ok but probably ended up writing way more than required
q3 seemed better than q4, but then when i started doing it realised it was badly worded question.im keeping fingers crossed, but have my doubts i’ve passed
