    Totally agree – nothing like anything in study books or mocks – and the volume of information to take note of on small screens is so far removed from real life – bizarre, disheartening and frustration all rolled into one

    Did q3 first, then q2 and left q1 until end…misread question however under pressure and treated investment as shareholders…will I get marks still?

    Never even crossed my mind I felt so under pressure after the horrible part a of q1! Threw me off completely! And I’m normally good at benchmark questions…barely did a calc. Q4 for me was definitely the easiest

    Question 1-used prism as a model to link mission to kpis, said dashboard was focused on one aim of clg, didn’t pick up on the public vs private detail in benchmark…totally went over my head and zero based budgeting was ok
    Question 3-vbm talked about creating value for shareholders and customers, full participation throughout org, etc…very vague though…calculated Eva but was negative…didn’t have time to comment
    Question 4-transfer part ok
    Share options only a few points

    Third attempt! Thought it was my toughest p5 yet

    I used building block to demonstrate link between organisation performance and employee appraisals in a service company in question 4 part a…part b i talked about problems of performance measurement linking too much to huge bonus based on uncontrollable factors

    I used building block to link overall organisation performance in a service industry with employee appraisal in part a of q4 and then used problems of performance measurement as a cause of huge bonuses that are uncontrollable inflicted on employees in part b of q4…pretty generic however, tried to link to scenario in question

    Q1 was the easiest question but still managed to leave last part half finished…does anyone remember how many marks went for each question part, etc…didn’t have time at end of exam to estimate marking scheme to gauge a pass/fail
