I am a bit pissed off this time on P1 exam.

The exam reading starts at 10:00 am and writing starts at 10:15 am in the UK.

I allocate 1 and half hours for question 1 (50 marks) and the same for optional questions.

My maths is very bad. It confused me this time that my first hour and half was finished at 11:45 am. I thought it would finish at 12:00. I know it is not right but it happened to me this time.

Therefore, I want ACCA simplify it.

How:
All exams in the UK reading should start at 9:45 am, writing should start at 10:00 am. That will ease my time calculation i.e. It is 10:30 am, stop question 1 and move to optional questions.

We, the students are under huge pressure of exam and do not want to and cannot take any more pressure for time calculation.

I messed up 18 marks answer this time in P1 exam as I was under huge pressure as I overran question 1 till 12:00. Even I took a bit slow in question 1 as I thought I had time.

Guys, do you agree with me? Please back me and complain to ACCA. Who is going to simplify things, ease your burden and for the future generations unless WE do.

Thank you and kind regards
Firoz

Have to say that’s ridiculous, surely you can see 1.5 hours from 10.15 is 11.45?? Fair play for getting to the professional levels if not. We know what time the exams start weeks before so just plan it beforehand.

How did everyone get on with question 2? I struggled with a) agency problems which might arise when an institutional shareholder holds money in funds on behalf of clients?
For b) how purchasing Natcon is an example of strategic CSR I just wrote about how it’s strategic in the sense of gaining long term profits from the sales of housing as well as improving reputation at the same time.

Also does anyone know when ACCA publish the answers or is this not until after the results?
