Any one sat the morning aaa paper? If so what topics came up in all qs, thanks for any replies.

Re: q1 in afternoon paper, its easy to come up with tones of romms, if your calm & sharp with your aaa knowledge and your attempting q1 earlier in the exam duration, but if you attemp q1 in the end duration of the exam time, panic sets in and faced with huge amount of information and twists and turns in the scenario, one gets a mental block; it’s difficult to pick the material mistatements, as there just isn’t enough time to absorb the scenario information and implications under all the IFRSs and frantically write the answer. I got to put 4 romms down, time run out!.

Time-pressure is the cause of only 30%ish passing aaa in every sitting.
The aaa exam questions are actually not too difficult, for a well prepared student, buts the Limitted time that makes it difficult to pass.

Hello, all those who sat SBR(UK) exam in the afternoon, could anyone elaborate on details regarding what topics composed the parts in question Q2, Q3, Q4.

I just did begin bits, as panic setin with the time diminishing in the exam and I just couldn’t attempt the full lengths of each question.

Time is too little for the huge amount of twists and turns in the scenarios and to read and decifer whats the Q all about, let alone then to structure good full ans.

Time is also lost with CBE due to cumbersome and awkward nature of typing and spreadsheet etc, the ACCA exams were time pressurised always,

but the CBE mode has added another dimension of awkward of significant nature of consuming time, this significantly increases chances of failing with the 45 to 49% mark.

As with slow typing speed and key board skills easily looses time of 20mins+ from 3hr15mins,

I prefer the old paper Exams, where you could swiftly think/write answers down about the acca syllabus knowledge and keep moving, all this typing etc is not testing Acca knowledge, but rather an element of How Fast an IT Secretary/PA you are. Far from the exam about showing your acca paper/ syllabus knowledge.

Now that the covid pandemic is settling/ under control, I would like ACCA to think about returning to written/pen& paper exams. Or alternatively to modify the CBE e.g to allow a writing pad facility where those like me who are slow typists could write the narrative parts of the answers more swifty. Now that would be too good.its so demoralising when you have the knowledge but just cannot get it out to the marker due to the typing/IT etc.

Anyway thanks to any replies regards the Qs .

Hi GeorgeB169, was your exam in the afternoon or morning paper????

[miraji]

The exam was a dissaster for me, failure again.

These twisty ways of examiners spinning the question design for sbr exams, its a gold medal for the question setters;

but at huge money expense for me, I have failed sbr several times over several years, its beyond a joke,

I have all the knowledge of the sbr syllabus, but I just can not show it in this sbr too time pressurized exam, with lengthy reading narrative in the questions.

I used to get sbr failures at nearly 40% prior to CBE, i.e. in the paper mode sbr exams.

Now with compulsory CBE for UK sbr, I am stuffed, as all this Typing has made my attempts at sbr even worse, as I can not manage even to achieve 30% due to my slow typing speed.

ACCA Please give students the option to do paper exams again in the UK, I am middle age and can’t type fast. This only CBE option has made it virtually impossible for me to complete ACCA via CBE, I am still trying to clear 2 papers necessary to complete my ACCA exams, but am on the point of giving up.

Retaking the sbr CBE, time and again with failure results is a sign of madness. I am pondering, what is the point, and contemplating giving up ACCA all together.

These exams seam to be testing some kind of warp Speed exam hurdle, Not exams for training Real Life Accountants,

after all, real life accountants use books and internet for reference to arrive at their advice to answer clients needs to accounting problems, with due time These ACCA sbr and advance audit CBE are beyond impossible.

Hi, anyone remember what was Q3 on in the UK sbr paper, the paper with share based payment and differed tax liability in question one. Tanks for any replies.

[miraji]

Hello,
The questions were asked in the
June 2019 SBR exam, Q1ai. , as outlined in the examiner’s report. The question is not published by ACCA.

I am unsure as how to deal with these in the parents individual statement of profit or loss and total comprehensive income .

Would appreciate, the general treatment of the above questions.

Thank you.

Hello dear fellow SBR UK students, if any of you guys sat tha sbr UK paper in June 2019.

Please guys would you kindly state here what topic areas came up in Question 3, in June exam,
as the examiners review of the June exam only covers the International paper,

so I am in the dark, so no way to know what came up in June paper in SBR UK Q3,

acca are lacking to provide this support to UK versions of all UK papers in the acca13papers, shame, lazy service, the UK bits Cove a minimum of 15%, so the difference between pass and fail.
Many times have I pointed this out to Acca but they seen to be dumb & blind in this regard,

If in fairness they would just determine the pass mark for UK sbr exam takers as marks out of 85%. or take 85% of the exam fees.
Similar slackness with all the “gold” acca approved Bpp and kaplan workbook providers,

but Bpp workbook has Nothing for the UK syllabus in the hard back workbook,

I had to pay £70+7 uk postage, then phone their publishing office in Reading, on numerous days, to finally get the UK syllabus content supplement in an email attachment that I had to print out at extra cost at about £10,
Acca money making game merry go round for acca, Bpp, kaplan, and all the so called “gold” tuition providers
(who always focus on the wrong topics, compared to the actual exam, what is the point getting 97% in a acca tuition provider made up exam, when in the real paper you only get 40 to 47%)
But hey the merry go round, starts again:
acca student empties their bank a/c and all Non acca student parties, fill their turnover.
After the results come out the examiner pontificates this and that, ha ha ha, and the merry go round starts again,

If Acca was a professional body on Par with other UK professional exam bodies such as the Law Society, the Bar Council exams the ICAEW, who they(ACCA) say they are equal to,

but all these Professional Body/Institutes practice Professional OPEN book exams,

is it not about time for acca to be a grown up professional body, or is acca meant for lower school academic achievers and thus acca exams have to follow school style exams, of testing if you can be a good parrot combined with application of the parrot information that you must remember,

acca should look at how ICAEW exams are conducted,

and become a real professional body, if they are a grown up prof body like other UK Professional Institutes. But hey the money making will be truncated for all vested interest.
End of rant.
