Hi, thank you for your reply.
I haven’t finished my final (professional) exam yet and wouldn’t go for BSc before I do, but I am opted in the program so have the option to do it if I want to.
I have worked as an accountant for almost 10 years now (in a few different businesses, not practise). Just thought if it would make more sense to go for BSc or MSc in terms of how my future employers might view that I have skipped BSc, for example, if I go for MSc?
Thank you, your advise is appreciatedPassed 1st time with 56%. I was so sure I was going to fail, feels so liberating. Phew…
Sections A & B seemed ok and pretty good.
Section B had ratio analysis and consolidated SFP. Ratio analysis I think was pretty good for me, but I couldn’t balance SFP and ended up making so many adjustments I’m 99% sure it’s all wrong at the end. However, really hoping on those marks with ratio analysis question.@ndongoee said:
Exactly same as me. 57% and I’m a mummy working full time.
Last Applied Skills Exam is F8 (now AA) for me in September.Fingers crossed for us.
It’s great to hear there are other mummies studying ACCA.
I did AA as my first one back in 2017 when I was 8 months pregnant. And so far have taken only 2 sittings off.
Fingers crossed 🙂59% pass first time only doing my own studying from book without even watching any videos. Not bad for a full time mum having only couple hrs per day to study. 🙂
Now FR (ex F7) left in September to finish my Applied Skills exams.I think I might have gotten same questions as you. Had a lot about IHT and chargeable gains.
Got 1 section B scenario about VAT, so feeling good about that part.
Had quite a few questions about gift relief and shareholdings in different entities.
Section C question about rollover relief & adjusted trading profit for tax purpose really not sure about. I was ok with the one for taxable income calculation but not sure about the equipment lease that was mentioned there, think I got it wrong for sure.
Section C about spouse transfer and personal pension contribution (to calculate tax savings for both) seemed ok.
I’m worried some of them seemed too easy to actually be that easy and I probably forgot some relief.This exam was awful. 🙁 It had everything in it that barely was covered in my studies. In section C I had lease vs buy (where I think I did ok with calculations), EAC (also think I did ok) and why NPV is superior to IRR (only remembered 2 out of 4). I felt like there were some questions that were repeated in all sections in some way. In section C I also had were the asked for cost of capital with CAPM method and to calculate cost of capital specifically for project (beta re-gearing etc) which I completely flopped with. In section B there were questions about market value of loan notes and business valuation on earning basis (completely guessed all of those questions). Can only cross my fingers and hope for the best but all in all not a good feeling about it. Will continue to study so if i don’t pass i can book it for December straight away.
