But was the question not asking us to justify the use of NFPIs over FPIs’ if so then the opposite of what you are saying is what they were looking for??? I stand to be corrected
The scenarios were too lengthy. Last question was difficult on performance pyramid, could not quite understand what they were really asking for there. My excel spreadsheet cells were locked, for question one, did anyone else experience same problem with their excel spreadsheet
I had the same set of questions.
However my excel spreadsheet had locked cells could not enter anything in them. Did anyone experience similar problem on question one BudgetingThank you all for sharing your experiences, it has surely helped me because I was contemplating going for an administrative review after I got my results at 48% APM. Now after following the thread, I see it is pretty much a waste of my time so I am in the process of re-booking.
However I would like to share my disgruntlement at the way ACCA handles these exam issues – with such lack of transparency and rigidity. I say this because in Sept 2020 I sat an online based APM exam and 80% through the exam when I was only left with 1 last question, my laptop just went blank and started updating on its own. The proctor called me, updates lasted for about 5 min but when I tried to log back in I could not hence my exam was cut short. I informed ACCA of the incident and hoped they would mark my paper up to where I had attempted which was almost all of it ( they actually indicated somewhere on their website that they would do that in the event of a technical glitch, and they also claim that our exam scripts are updated in real time). It turned out that those claims of real time updating is not for real as ACCA waited till exam release date to inform me that there had been no mark for me and no further explanations. I had to write several emails asking for more clarity but I kept getting generic replies till finally after escalating my query for the umpteenth time I got a response saying that “the type of technical error that occurred was such that ACCA could not retrieve my script”. I am still angry at this, I have had to re-write in Dec and have ultimately failed with that marginal mark mentioned earlier. Their failure to get my script is entirely their fault because their system is supposed to be updating in real time i.e. saving our work as we go. Secondly, I have come to realize that the type of update that occurred and disrupted my exam on that Sept exam day, does not automatically happen, someone must have authorised it to start at that time since a pop up message comes up and one has a choice to postpone. My question now is – since the proctors take over background functions and we do not get to see any pop-ups, could s/he have allowed the update to go through…..I am wondering about this and will try to get to the bottom of this, I feel prejudiced cheated, prejudiced, cant describe this awful feeling.
I have finally managed to get around the access code issue, if you play around on that screen where they ask for the access code and you press the SBE-….link with your exam name, the next screen that come up will inform you not to worry about access code, so then you proceed to pick a time etc etc. I hope this helps.
But I was charged extra yet I encountered a technical fault and had to be refunded my 133 pounds, how come I have to put in extra money to top it up to 156 pounds given the circumstances??
I am unhappy.I am also facing the same problem, has anyone got the solution to the private access code issue, I am worried dealine is Monday and ACCA call are not getting through. Also when I was trying to book I noticed that for the APM exam initially there is no option for “home” sitting as indicated in their booking video tutorial. Help/share if you managed to get through
