    a) the information was not a complete overload. To get through everything in the time given is just unrealistic. I don’t buy ACCAs explanations that it’s to resemble real-life deadlines. Not enough time to make my answers coherent, just no time to think.<br>b) the requirements are all over the place – why not have just one exhibit with the requirements, why do they have to have at least 2-3 different ones? It makes it difficult to understand what is being asked as we have to jump between exhibits on a screen that looks like it belongs in the 90s. Or, alternatively, let us use multiple screens like we would at work.<br>Overall, I don’t expect a pass, and I’m completely exhausted. My last exam too…

    Absolutely agree!
    I don’t expect a pass, again as this is my 2nd attempt. Seriously thinking of switching to ATX, its less subjective

    I wasn’t sure about what to write here and left it for my last 10mins, just quickly wrote on 3 types of information. Its probably all wrong as it was so rushed..
    Very time pressured exam, you literally have no time no think, its so unrealistic of acca to expect us to give any depth to our answers as well as trying to complete all question within alloted time.

    I think the exam was fair, however the amount of information to digest and make reasonable points in alloted time was just impossible. I left most of question 3 unanswered and unfortunately i think it will be a resit. So annoyed because it’s my last exam.
    I really understand now why this exam has such a low pass rates..

    Fair paper but i just struggled with ideas and feel my points were too general. At least i attempted all questions so hoping to scrape a pass but you never know with ACCA..

    Exam wasn’ bad just not enough time! ive finished all the questions but i think my points are not developed enough , there was no time to properly think about all the issues! This exam should be 4 hours long to be able to finish evertyhing and go back and check your answers

    Cashflow question threw me completely, i’d be lucky if i i get 5 marks for it. Overall tricky questions with not enough time to answer, it will be a resit for me i guess

    I had consolidated P& L with an associate and ratio analysis on Jolley Co. I found the OT questions quite challenging which is 60% of the paper. Dreading July 19

    Looks like i had the same paper and exactly the same feelings – section A and B were really tricky, section C not that bad

    Never felt so bad after the exam..there was so much to cover in this syllabus and a lot of things which I didn’t know very well actually came up in section A and B..I’m really disappointed that shares and loan notes seemed to be everywhere, and there was not a single question on revenue, cashflows and leases…
