    This exan was awful.
    No idea what the examiner was trying to achieve……..maybe that they do not want to be predicted?
    The general language used did not make sense in certain parts of the question and out of all the topics the focus was on a tiny area (excluding q1a).
    Q4 current issues…..well, it can be argued that accounting policies is/isn’t a current issue but at the end of the day I didnt see an article on it and out of all the great topics available: hedge accounting, impairment, leases and revenue recognition they chose something completely obscure. Surely after looking at q2 & q3 the examiner should have realised that students needed a bit of a leg up, four pages of writing and application learnt for nothing!
    In addition, many people were not just sitting this exam alone, I myself were sitting three, how can you be prepared for a paper like this without the impossible task of memorising the whole syllabus, no passed paper or question set by colleges could have prepared students for this exan.
    Many students jobs require them to pass their exams they (like myself) have been royally screwed over.
