Oh i see. Thank you very much! Yes that does indeed help sir.
So, i could possibly download the f7 and p2 notes from here and start working on those along with your lectures on those subjects? I did not use opentuition when i passed these earlier.
Thanks for responding sir.
I see. So all of P2? Not all those detailed consolidation adjustments i hope? Which topics would be most important to revise?
My personal case is that i havn’t studied p2 in a very long time. I passed it a few years ago…
P1 ethics i should be okay with since they were somewhat covered in p5 too which i recently studied..i have finally passed them both.
I am sure the tutor would be able to guide you better, but in my experience P4 is a very difficult course (following on from f9) but relatively easier to pass than p5. I passed in 2nd attempt because the marks tend to be more solid than p5
In p5, the course has a strong resemblance to P3 and to F5 ofcourse. Its a much easier course than P4 in my opinion… but somehow it can get very tough to pass. I passed in 8th attempt o.O but very relieved at this point.
If you were good in F9, go for P4. , Otherwise you could consider P5.
PASS! 63!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 8th attempt.
Thank you God. Thank you opentuition. Thank you Acca examining team(hehe)
44,43,49,43,46,44 and 48 before this. And studied so hard this last time.. only to find an impossible to finish paper this time. Lol. 25 marks left untouched. Please God make me pass this this time >.<
i agree about complaining! the acca people should see this forum. I personally feel that there is nothing more one can do than i did for this exam.
I read the entire Bpp book, did the entire Becker e-book, read all the technical articles, did all the bpp exam kit questions! and serveral of becker question bank. I did 2 mocks under timed conditions(one the acca study school one) by writing out entire answers, i have never usually had too much time pressure problems in the past. Here i tried my best to finish it in time, but couldn’t. I was left devastated and depressed in the end. The only way to finish this was if it was either a 75 mark paper(just a section A question and one section B question) or if we just wrote low quality generic answers. No way on earth could you write high quality answers for all of them.
I have obviously failed multiple times before including scores of 48 and 49. How unfair is it to fail someone on 49? What is the difference between a student who gets 49 and one who gets 50? I even fear that students who actually get 50 or above, they just make them go to 49 just so they have to appear again. Arghhh.Not to mention… i definitely did all of the open tuition lectures, notes and revision lectures of p5. And the relevant ones of F5 as well.
This paper required 6 hours to solve if examiner wants “quality” answers!
Examiner acts dumb every time in the examiner report saying “he is surprised by the quality of answers in last few attempts”. Well, if you give us 3 huge scenarios, then we have to analyse them properly and evaluate, and then write all of it takes a long time. This exam was impossible. I felt like i was extremely well prepared.. knew everything almost and had practiced a ton of questions.. but so very time pressured. I left 26 marks untouched.. hope i did well enough in the 74 i attempted, but probably gonna make 40 something like i always do. Ugh.
If i study more, or if i study less, i always get 40 something.Well sir, the question never told us when the lease agreement was signed(or maybe i missed it). Do we assume it was signed in the previous year(to be included as full amount in the opening capital employed) ?
So then what about the treatment of depreciation if it was in an earlier year?Thank you very much for your help sir. Yes i have been watching your awesome lectures.
I was a little confused about capital and revenue expenditure though, because you said capital expenditure was expenditure to buy assets. Is it just non current assets? Because inventory too is classified as a current asset in the balance sheet? And revenue expenditure was for paying expenses….
Except purchases is an expense account and inventory is just considered as purchases i suppose? (and cost of sales is opening inv plus purchases less closing inv)Thank you for your reply.
As you said that normally one would assume that an employee would become entitled to their salary at the normal month end? Like… in general practice?
So basically its still kind of like the accrual basis?I felt like it was an easy paper.. or that i was really well prepared. Except.. i was time pressured :/ i could do about 80% of it. But i “think” i did quite well in that…
Please God.. make me pass this time…
I did question 2 and 3. Question 2 and 3 were both very similar to June 2013 exam and sir Gromit’s lectures on those questions so awesome 🙂 (Transfer pricing and Balance scorecard). However i think i did really well in question 1 too (EVA, JIT, Kaizen, implementation of a new IS). If only there was more time…Thank you sir. I have looked at both questions now and there is indeed good information about VBM, especially in the Cantor question. This was the attempt i got 49 in. Ugh. lol
ok sir… thank you 🙂
Do we need to know about VBM in detail? Not sure if it was in a lecture of yours…. i was wondering if you mentioned it in a lecture of yours. Always like hearing you explain stuff in them lectures 😀
Doing them together can be helpful, yes.
But u do need to study and be lucky! (studying more important in p4 and lucky more important in p5 lol)Martino, i believe the Q4 was about corporate failure and Q3 was possibly 6 sigma or quality/re engineering related..
So… umm a profit centre deals only with sales and costs? And ROI and RI and such can’t be applied there?
Could you possibly elaborate a little on what the examiner report is getting at? especially in the context of changing a profit to an investment centre and vice versa?
Thanks so much
