I felt I covered thoroughly the vast majority of syllabus during my study and annoyed that so few topics came up. Where were the performance management models (Pyramid, Prism, Scorecard, Building Blocks), where was BCG or Ansoffs or porters 5 forces. And where was Value-Based Management in my study text, yet 10% of the exam.

This was my second attempt also and I felt that the exam was a better exam on the whole than the Dec2012 sitting. However, time management was still an underlying weakness. I did not like the question on how internal controls are similar to Strategy in nature, especially for the amount of marks given. I defined both but found it difficult to find the right words to tie the two together, how did everyone else find this question?

The paper was quite focussed on Corporate Governance Code and Internal Controls, but not much on my favourite area: Ethics.
