    ACCA needs to come easy on its students. We are not talking about making the questions easier, no, but the level of English used is unreasonably hard! I have to read some of the MCQs over 5 times before i could understand what is being required. This is sad as 65% of ACCA students do not have English as their first language.

    Again, the 30 marks question 3 was a complete disaster! The adjustments were way too difficult with some of the requirements quite confusing. The leasing aspect was straight P2 standard. Why ACCA choose to make the adjustments to these 30 marks questions so difficult beats my understanding. The English is quite difficult to understand, the grammar used is more like law and the little tricks are simply not needed!

    Combining SOCI, SOCIE, SOFP and Cashflow in a single question is quite wicked! How did the examiner expect us to complete all these huge question in just 45 minutes??

    ACCA must ensure fairness in the way questions are set. Anytime i attend an exam sitting, i see the numbers drop. Today for instance, i saw only a handful of us, not more than 40 sitting both F7 and P2 papers. ACCA is losing popularity in Ghana, especially Kumasi and the earlier they ensure fairness, the better for them. In all, this F7 paper was a complete disaster!!!

    Answered Q2 first because i had thoroughly prepared for it. Got confused with the massive Labor Rate variance. But i hope to get by with at least 15 marks on this.

    Q5 was next. A.B.C and traditional absorption costing was quite okay. Couldn’t do the analysis because of time constraint.

    Q3. Balance performance was not answered too well. Hope i get some marks there

    Q 4 Was quite difficult. Too much writing and no calculations. I did by bits though.

    Q1 was a disaster! I attempted it last but i did not see my way through. This was unexpected.

    Overall, i think i can manage with a marginal pass or a close fail.

    The paper was extremely difficult and time consuming. 90% calculation was a bit too much for a 2 hour paper. I don’t know what to think. I leave it in the hands of posterity.

    This paper was no joke at all. There was no right or wrong answer. I can’t believe ACCA made it so hard and difficult. A lot of the questions came from B.P.P and i was happy i used the BPP I-Pass effectively. We pray for the best!
