I sat my first CBE a year or so ago for the F5 paper having been exempt for F1-3 papers. I found it really difficult to adjust to their CBEs so my advice to you is… keep practicing on the ACCA website! They have mock areas for you to trial the exams in their format and a specimen paper.
Familiarise yourself as much as you can. I thought I’d be OK as I’m behind a computer screen all day but it is quite different to normal excel. Practice practice practice!
Don’t worry, I have also failed this paper three times. All with similar marks to yourself. This time round, I will be focusing on preparation and starting as early as possible (now!).
I’ve been told by previous tutors that marginal fails are normally down to poor exam technique. I will be focusing on studying the past exam papers and their model answers.
We can do this!
I will be doing my re-sit for this paper in September as paper based. Last time I done CBE and I did struggle with not being able to jot down numbers/calculations on the question book.
Personal preference I guess.
Hello, last time I sat an exam which weren’t available at the Excel, it was in Hammersmith. Really irritating that they can’t confirm whilst you make the booking!! Good luck
