    failed apm with 41 6th time. first time was 49 and the inbetween results were in 40s. I have no idea why because I know the material and the techniques like the back of my hand at this point. I am switching to AFM.

    I had the aame paper. It was easy and yet i think i failed. Time management and trying to answer all embedded questions was difficult. Even structuring the answers seemed challenging to me.

    1st- 49 (paper based),
    2nd- 40 (at home – technical issues keyboard not working properly so all excel empty – still managed to get 40.)
    and now 38 (when I did your exam technique to answer every question, did good time management and and actually answered 90-95 % of the questions and finally left an ACCA exam thinking I passed.

    Either there was a major mistake at grading the paper – or I am doing something wrong (major) given it appears the more I study the worse I score…
    and I have no idea how to proceed from here.It is draining my patience, self esteem and whatever little savings I have.

    The drawbacks on benchmarking was that pkm was not a good measire but although it seems like out comoany F was doing bad but they were providing cheap services short distance with more flights than D. So i suggested that since D flies less flights and fills up more people in one plane for longer distance flights, it wasnt a good conparison. Also for co2 emissions, it changes based on how much weight u carry. So F carrying little amount of passengers and lighing say 10 flights a day vs. D carrying more passengers with 2 flights a day, it may look like F has lower emmissions vut not in the total. So bad comparison. Then mentioned something like 92 percent claims to receive the service they wanted. It may look like people may complain about “extras” but what if food quality is higher as opposed to D giving it away free “included” in the more expensive ticket but bad quality or somethibg like that. Needs more verification, data and calculation. Also 2 star vs 5 star may be biased. More info needed.

    @adebattista said:
    If you did not sit for the INT paper kindly ignore my message. It was related to the fact that the company pays tax in Dinars.

    I did sit int. I just dont think paying taxes in dinars is good enough of a reason to choose that currency. I thought it wouls be grommits because half wages in dinars half in grommits but they raise most of their financial resources in grommits

    I agree it felt like there were more questions than specimen. I literally skipped 3 questions to make it and even then i didnt do 2 questions at q4. So 40 points blank. First try at sbr and i think im gonna have to repeat.

    Dear Baran,

    My name is Merve and I would like to ask if you have taken SBR in December.
    I am going to take it in March sitting and I would like to join a study group specific to Turkey if there is any. Or to have a study buddy. or if you would like to ask about SBL.

    Best,
