Hi,
I was specifically looking to get material for the F6 Taxation exam through BPP, and the 20% discount code worked for me. But the CBE mock exam code didn’t, and this is due to no fault of opentuition. After a little digging, I found out this on BPPs website:
“BPP Learning Media no longer sells the ACCA CBE Mock for TX Taxation. Two practice mocks and the specimen exam can be found here on the ACCA CBE software website. Please contact the ACCA directly on 0141 582 2000 if you require assistance with their site.”
So from my understanding, the only mocks available are on the offical acca website, which is why the code provided above for them doesn’t work.
Also, big thanks to the opentuition team for giving us these codes. Cheers.
The exam was relatively good for me, but take what I have to say with a grain of salt as I got really lucky.
It started off with surprisingly difficult sec-a and sec-b questions, and this is coming from someone who did every MCQ question out there. Still, I managed to pull through somehow and throughout the entire time I kept telling myself that there has to be a trade-off because of how hard these MCQ’s were.
And sure enough, come sec-c, and I was almost angry at how simple and straight forward the questions were. The first question asked me to explain what mix and yield variances were, solve them for a question, then end by analyzing a few variances that were caused in a month due to changes in the company policy, suppliers of good, etc. It was a straight-forward process and connecting the dots was simple.
The second question was like a dream, giving me 4 marks for just briefly explaining the 4 core aspects of a balanced scorecard, then the remaining 16 were for analyzing the case study, associating them with each of the aspects, citing goals from the case study and giving two performance measurements for each of those qualitative values.
All in all, to all those writing the exam next, I’d strongly ask you to work on as many transfer pricing questions as they can be the most challenging in sec-c (if that wasn’t already apparent by the ominous replies of many here who’ve fallen prey to them) and keeping a cool head and asking yourself to believe in the work you’ve put in, will go a long way.
Oh, and of course, thank you, John Moffat, you absolute cutie.
