Go to the list of all the quizzes on the main Paper FM page and select from there the quiz you want to attempt.
I assume that you are watching the relevant free lectures before attempting each of the quizzes?

Thank you for the Tests. So helpful. But on question 5 why is it Semi strong efficient???
J
John MoffatTutor·
Because that is the definition of semi-strong efficient (as explained in the free notes and lectures).

Although the stock exchange does provide a service to shareholders wishing to buy or sell shares in specific companies, it is not regarded as a financial intermediary because it does not provide the three main services of a financial intermediary i.e. aggregation, maturity transformation, and diversification of risk as explained in my free lectures on Chapter 2 of our free lecture notes. For example, although an investor can diversify their risk by buying shares in several companies the stock exchange does not do that for them. Whereas if an investor buys shares in a unit trust (mutual fund) then the unit trust is doing the risk diversification for them.

Why Question no 5 is semi strong as it should be strong form as we have all the information required which means both published and unpublished??
J
John MoffatTutor·
No - it is semi-strong. Publicly available means that it has been published (and does not include unpublished information).

For Question number 5 why is it not a strong form and yet in a strong form the current and future information is available to the public?.
A
Asher·
Because the semi-strong form efficiency only deal with information that is currently publicly available and not future information.

can you add some more questions?
J
John MoffatTutor·
No - you really must buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. They are full of exam standard questions.

By any chance, can such easy questions appear in exams?
J
John MoffatTutor·
Of course! These are from past exams.
But have you tried the tests on the other chapters that involve calculations?
Always in the exam, there are questions on some areas that you should find easy and questions on other areas that you will find a lot harder.
In addition to attempting our tests you should of course be attempting every question in your Revision Kit - then you will know the overall level of difficulty.

However these will only ever be short tests and you must buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. They contain lots of exam standard questions.

Please sir why is the answer to question No. 5, weak-form efficiency. I thought it should be semi-strong form, since the informations are publicly available.
