Passed with 66% and now an affliate only used two weeks to prepare for this exam because past papers suggest common sense. This is a common sense exam. Focus on key models such as PESTEL and key topics such as Integrated reporting and IT related topics such as blockchain e-marketing etc.
I don’t think anything from the study kit came up or was useful in the exam. It was purely common sense.
Watch practice to pass youtube videos instead and take little notes.
Passed with 53% and now an affliate. Was expecting a borderline fail or so and was looking forward to writing the exam in March- Question 2 was disastrous wasn’t sure but I kept on writing something.
I observed the poll for a while before checking my results and noted a significant margin between pass and fail (more passes). It appears the global pass rate could exceed 40%.
Advice: Try to study risk management thoroughly do not ignore swaps, collars and the theoretical aspects of risk management. This aspect of the syllabus is quite straightforward and with constant practice you would understand the methodology is the same. This gives you at least 20 marks head start. Please watch John’s lecture videos on Risk management as many times as possible till it sinks!
Also ATTEMPT ALL questions just put something down if you do not know it.! Good thing the exam is 60% discursive these days common sense would come in handy.
