What happens if in the exam we get a q with a typo issue on it like this one ? Then, wouldn’t we not secure the mark for the q ? As the solution wouldn’t be correct, like here, or it’d be the case that the answer we get isn’t one of the multiple choice answers to select from… Thanks:)
Thanks?. I’ll be sitting there exam via Home, remote testing. Any advice for taking it without pen and paper/whiteboard ? There will an on-screen whiteboard to use that they’re developing, so we can draw tables etc, but as you can imagine there’d be a difference (probably on time taken for some questions as well in the time-pressed exam) compared to usual test center pen and paper…
Thanks for the response :). I’ve got my P1 exam is on Monday 4th May, fingers crossed it goes smoothly. 🙂
Also, I did a check on their answer, it seemed a bit inconsistent:
If AQ=8,630kg, then AQ*SP=51,780$ which is less than actual cost incurred of 56,000$ (=AQ*AP), pointing towards an adverse variance, hence the contradiction, as it’s actually a favourable variance… Hope that makes some sense…Q80
In the context of CDR, which of the following is an example of “digital inclusion”
A Incentivising customers to give more data
B The customer’s ability to opt in and be rewarded for sharing data
C A pharmaceutical company donating clinical trial data to a university
D A bank using a customer’s financial information to help them improve their financial managementAnswer:
C
Digital inclusion sees businesses share data in a benevolent way to other causes or
organisations that may benefit from their data assets.Ok, thanks,
I’ve been doing some looking up on BOP formula, which actually seems to be instead simply equal to the sum of the balances of all three accounts, i.e. balance of payments formula equals
Current account balance + Capital account balance + financial account balance
The Lecture Notes suggests otherwise, as my original post says. Please clarify. Thanks.A: An export is a visible transaction coming under the BOT (exports subtract imports, making up the bulk of a country’s BOP), so appearing in the Current account.
B: Buying Euros is an invisible transaction coming under the BOT, once again, so appearing in the Current account.
C: Interest received (or paid on capital) comes is a Current account transaction, so appearing in the Current account.
D: Inflow of investment by a hi-tech multinational into Japan is a Financial account transaction.
Reasoning is that the Financial account concerns international monetary flows related to investment in business, real estate, bonds and stocks. The flows include direct investment, portfolio investment and reserve assets.So, I can now see why D, the inflow of investment, would appear in the Financial account.
OK thanks for that.
I presume same applies for BA2-4, but not for beyond Certificate Level (due to syllabus changes), right ? In regards to using the 2016 (publication date) version of the Kaplan Exam to practice for the exams. Thanks.Also, just to confirm, is it OK to use the 2016 (publication date) version of the Kaplan Exam Kit for BA1? I presume it shouldn’t make too much of a difference, right? Thanks.
Okay.
But I’ve had a quick look at the notes, and it seems as if it might be helpful to print in colour, e.g. page 47/138 of BA1 notes, the graph lines are actually coloured (red and blue), and on another page I saw a coloured pie chart.
2 pages of the notes printed on one page of landscape A4 is a nice idea ! Cheers for that 🙂Good idea also ! I might just try out a different approach of going through the notes via using my iPad Air 2, which I just bought literally yesterday purely for studying CIMA! As you said, making some of my own notes along the way could help reinforce the contents.
Okay, I’ll proceed with taking the exams in numerical order. After the BA units are cleared in order, so taken as BA1, BA2, BA3, BA4, what is the order best to take the exams/units of the next three levels (Operational, Management and then Strategic) ? Is it the Enterprise pillar exam first, then the Financial pillar exam and lastly the performance pillar exam ? Thanks, much appreciated.
