    in P5 I think it is vital to plan your answer first. Simply draft it, before writing any longer discussion.
    Previously I wrote much more and failed.

    This time I answered almost every question, by bullet-pointing my plan. Only few bullet points were not discussed deeper where I think I still scored 0,5 or 0,25 mark at least.

    This is how Kaplan is teaching the exam technique.
    1st plan then come back and add couple of sentences with application to scenario.

    And of course ATFQ =)

    I do not get how people can keep sitting same exam for 5, 10 or even 15 times. How much time it takes?
    In last case it should take liek minimum 5 Years. I think ACCA is limited to 7-10 years if I remember.

    @casb I have same situation. As I understand there is very little chance to get that one extra mark. As they just count the marks and will send you how many marks fro each questions you scored.
    I am wondering ho/w many students in ACCA history applied for Admin review and turned from Fail into Pass? any statistics anywere?

    Failed, with 49%. Would it make sense for admin review?
    and also I was planing to take P4 in June.
    What should I do, take P4 and resit P5 or do just P4 and P5 in Sep2017?

    Sad day 🙁

    This is very tricky that things like PESTEL or 5 forces have less marks than suitability and acceptability… as I normally can write more on 7 or 5 things than on 2 🙂

    When you resit P1 and take P3 you feel like a tractor run over your head and neck.

    Plus I am an accountant so I need to work quite hard due to monthly reporting (frist two weeks)… I was exhausted this session 🙁

    Any way I did Q4 I liked it. But as it was last exam question I could not focus on requitements of last part. Ithink B was about ignoring cost saving… and I wrote about that :/

    Hello Mike,
    The question in the MOCK (GLO):

    Which of the following is not an INCOTERM?

    DAQ
    CIP
    EXW
    FCA

    Of course it is DAQ, but after submitting anwsers the green tick is next to EXW!? 🙂
