    Very tricky paper – lots of the core syllabus not covered and struggled to understand what was being asked on some questions.

    I was not overly concerned to see a Cash Flow statement but did not expect to see a SOCIE contained within the question.
    The workings for things like dividens to NCI and from/to Shareholders seemed to be calculated already!?!
    And the workings you would normally use (PPE for example) were already partially done, so I did not seem to require as many working as I would for a practice question – or was it just me?

    Q2 seemed okay to me but Q3 and Q4 were horrible!!!

    Frustrating to spend so much time studying large syllabus areas that were not touched on.

    3rd time I have taken this and the first two I was un-prepared but the papers in hindsight were fine – this time I felt very prepared but was thrown by that paper. Came out gutted!!
