    As for the excel, they should just freaking scrap it, because it is losing students a lot of precious time. At least make it similar to the AAT where you are allowed to use a normal spreadsheet software and then you can upload it on the exam.

    It was a kind of strange exam for myself. I studied a lot for it but for every answer you give you always have doubts whether you answered correctly. I don’t remember anything for Section A but i did have a lot of theory. Section B – Rolling Budgets and Pricing were not that very difficult, i felt i did pretty good here. Target costing in section B was quite complicated, i did not do any questions where you needed to reduce the selling price. Section C i had the Breakeven analysis and Building Blocks. First part of breakeven analysis I managed to arrive at the contribution and Fixed costs (I hope) but for some reason when i came to work out the Breakeven in sales revenue, i couldnt quite make it. Part 2 of this question i cruised through so i feel from 8 marks i should get at least 5 or 6. Building Block I was not prepared for it but since you needed to comment and compare on the performance with given titles, i managed to comment as much as i could on each title related with the scenario to try and score marks here. The last question for 4 marks I did not manage to finish it.
