    Passed with 69%. This was my last one. Since my husband is French, we had a lot to celebrate!
    I passed all exams (F1 to P7) on first attempt – thanks to Becker books and OpenTuition. P2 and P6 were the most challenging ones I thought.
    To all who have to re-sit, keep it up, it will pay off. The best tip is to attempt as many past exams as possible.

    I started with exam with Q3 and Q4, then Q2 and ended with Q1. I rushed through everything and just managed to finish – but without any time to think further.
    I read some of your points which have completely escaped me! I did mention some others though.
    It is the first exam where I had to request a 2nd booklet, that’s how much I wrote! hope the examiner can read me!!

    58% second time P6 ZAF though, self-study.

    I passed the ZAF version with 63%, first attempt, self-study.
    I agree, it was SO tough. I’m glad it’s behind…

    Passed with 61%. First attempt. So relieved.
    If you were not so lucky, don’t despair, keep it up, you’re nearly at the end of the road!

    Passed with 64%. I thought I did much better. A bit concerned since I’m planning to write P7 and I’m not sure what went wrong. But I’m thankful for passing! P exams, here I come!!

    I also chose the same for theory of BF, but in case of NRV and irredeemable preference shares I chose neither 1 nor 2

    Do you remember what the statements were?

    Hi, what was the answer of the MCQ in which it asked about the irredeemable preference shares and NRV?

    Sorry I can’t remember

    The one about behavourial finance I think was irrational decisions by finance managers or something like that. Not sure though…

    For q31, I got Ke for:
    ordinary shares around 11.8%
    preference shares: 8.08%
    And Kd for loan notes: 5.5% (using IRR), which I also applied to bank loan (not sure if it was right)
    WACC was around 11.6(or 7)%

    For q32, I found NPV: $11.2m. I used the 5% value at end as scrap value and deducted it from carrying value to apply a balancing tax-allowable depreciation benefit.
    My Payback period was 2.7 years.

    MCQ (in random order, please stay with me!):
    Right value per share: $0.9
    Economy inputs, efficiency outcomes
    Factor gives reduction in profit of 90,000$
    About gvt action to increase demand, I selected reduce currency value (not sure)
    Economic risk (affects demand)
    I used Asset Beta = Equity Beta since the company was ungeared.
    I selected when bank accepts the letter of credit (not sure!)
    Aggressive approach since they used short-term finance for all fluctuating + part of permanent current assets.

    Can’t remember the rest!

    Wooooww !! would you mind sharing tips on how u studied ?? 🙂

    I used Becker Professional study material, coupled with Opentuition for revision.
    5 weeks of hard work – full time (though I have a family). Lots of exercises. And a few test practice for time pressure – that’s what I found the hardest with F5: time pressure!

    Thanks!
    Where did you write your exam?
    Was it CBE or paper based?

    Thank you Eitan.
    ACCA offers a ZAF version but it seems impossible to find the study material or centre which offers to write the local version.
    I’ll follow your advice. Thanks.

    Passed with 87% – 4 weeks of hard self-study with Becker material coupled with Opentuition – which really helps to simplify content
