Time Series and regression anlaysis

Hello sir John Moffat,
I hope you are doing well. First of all, I want to express my sincere appreciation for everything you do. As a self-studying student, I was able to clear all my skills level papers because of OpenTuition. I scored 86 in MA and 76 in FM, all thanks to your guidance.

For the December session, I enrolled for PM and SBL. SBL went well, and although I studied everything you taught, I’m worried that I might fail PM. I had to leave out a 12-mark question on time series analysis, there was an 8-mark and a 4-mark question in Section C. Based on your lectures and notes, I understood that time series and regression analysis would not appear in section C, so I didn’t give them any attention. Unfortunately, my paper didn’t include any ROI/RI questions; it focused mostly on budgets and the balanced scorecard, and assumed knowledge from MA in section C.

I’m feeling uncertain about what to do now. I was planning to start preparing for SBR and AAA for the March session, but since I might fail PM, I’m putting those plans on hold for the moment.

I know this isn’t your fault at all, but I wanted to share my experience so that future students can be better prepared. It might be helpful to cover time series and regression analysis in the PM lectures, as many students may assume these topics would not appear in section C hence loosing bulky marks due to something that took me 10 mins to revise after my paper, I personally lost 12 marks in Section C and 2 marks in Section A because I hadn’t revised them, and it was a while since my MA paper.

Thank you once again for all your support and excellent teaching.
