That’s great for you. What was Ur consolidation question?
What’s the score r u expecting?How was SBR for others? I started with Q1 and wasted a lot of time as it was completely different from what I have practiced from the kit. Q2 & 3 were not so bad but as I wasted a lot of extra time on Q1, Q2 & 3 quality could have been better. Hope I have done enough to pass ?

75% pass on 5th attempt, all the hard-work finally paid off…
CBE for SBR was a real game changer as I struggled a lot in prior SBR exams with my handwriting and trying to keep a logical and neat answer structure within time limit, which was extremely frustrating.
Especially given the fact nobody in a real workplace writes for 3 hours anymore, wish ACCA introduced CBE for strategic level exams much earlier, would save a lot of pain.Wish you all best of luck and keep going, no matter how hard and desperate your situation might look like!
Congratulations.. can you please explain how CBE was more helpful for you compared to paper based? How it was time saving & beneficial for you? I am taking September session & my first CBE. So not sure how to write an answer using word & excel. I mean do I need to write all small calculations in Excel?

Did the q1 specifically asked to relate with any model? I just analysed performance and future contributions.. will i loose any mark for not using any model..?
