You’re right Fradel, paper based was all multiple choice for Section A and B.
I wanted to do computer based until I learnt that you have blanks to fill in… don’t feel that’s very fair, since multiple choice is easier than blanks – you can guess an answer if you don’t know whereas in a blank if you don’t know, you have zero chance of getting it. Plus a few times I messed up my calculation and couldn’t match an answer to the multiple choices so ran it through my calculator again and got it right – you won’t have that prompt in CBE!!!!
Did you have to fill in blanks for Section A and B, or were they all multiple choice?
Good luck xx I’m sure you did well
I did the morning paper Fradel.
I’m curious as to how different the papers were. Do you remember what the section C questions were about?

Hey, you gotta hear this one!!I spoke to acca examining team and they said that there were two sets of papers and the questions were different!!! this depended on if you sat the exam in the morning or afternoon……… ;( shame, i think the one in the afternoon was harder………. 😉
No sh*t sherlock,
They give a different paper for the afternoon so that you don’t hear about the questions from the morning paper. It keeps the examination fair. No one paper is likely to be harder or easier than another. What you found hard may have been easy for somebody else!
Hi Xerox36, I’m on my third attempt of this paper but am confident I’ll pass this time.
Question practice is key, and don’t stint the multiple choice questions as they make up 60% of your marks!!! If you got every single multiple choice question right, there’s no way you’d fail.
Might be too late for the March sitting, but get yourself a revision kit. I use the one from BPP and find their question coverage is great.
Also, master the interpretation questions, I think people must lose a lot of easy marks on the ratio and analysis questions. They’re tough to get your head around as they don’t have a formula, but practice makes perfect!
The answer is £2,840,400
£2,630,000 * 1.08
The costs in 5 years must be 3.86
2.84 * 1.08 = 3.07
3.07 * 1.08 = 3.32
3.32 * 1.08 = 3.59
3.59 * 1.08 = 3.87 (rounding differences)
