    There was no share price mentioned anywhere so I also commented on the fact that the TSR could not be calculated.

    I sat the CBE and it was very hard for me to type because the desk was too high and very uncomfortable .I had to keep my shoulders somehow higher and still couldn’t type faster if that makes sense .The desk and monitor very small. I couldn’t see the entire spreadsheet and have my workpad opened in the same time. Even if I did practice CBE I still lost lots of time arranging the pages on the screen in a way that will allow me to work.
    I believe I could have done much better if the computers and desk would be same as in a work environment.
    I am a tall person and I struggled I can only imagine how hard must have been for a shorter person.
    Very disappointed.
    This may have been only in the location where I sat the exam.
    I don’t think I will pass as I didn’t have enough time to get enough marks.

    I did the CBE version as well. Somehow the font of the computer screen was huge and I had to keep scrolling. You can reset the size of each exhibit but that takes time. Also, when there was a spreadsheet appendix, the resizing did not work and I had to first copy it into a new spreadsheet to be able to see it. The workspace gets crowded quite quickly and it all adds to the stress.

    Hope I gave enough points in each answer to pass as this is my last exam. The time pressure was difficult.
