My friend take it easy, you are not alone and it is not the end of the world, people face much more worst situation then you are in, imagine a person waiting for his cancer result which will decide if he will live or die? you are not in that position? just relax and get yourself prepared for worst and hope for best. Good Luck!

@naz2 Thanks very much, that was relieving, at least , at least I can always rewrite,, thanks alot

Great and yes as long as your wife will not leave you if fail ( lol ) 🙂 and your job is not at risk, you are always in position to try next time, and trust me for me it was kind of impossible and like a dream but it is happening so will happen to you one day.

Hey Friends, I’m waiting for PM and Tx uk, both didn’t go too well, it seems I can’t make it to tmrw, my heart will soon leave my chest and fall inside my intestines, it wasn’t like this when I sat AA and FM together and I passed the two then, now I’m praying to pass Tax only cuz I really hate it, PM Isnt that difficult but I think I won’t pass cuz I made a big mistake in the exam which I only realised after the exam, Tax is my nightmare and it’s my second attempt, I’ve taken almost half a bottle of baileys but I’m not drunk, I dunno what I can do to sleep till tmrw midnight, when I bend down it’s like the heart is falling, I support my chest with my hand, never been this tensed.

My friend take it easy, you are not alone and it is not the end of the world, people face much more worst situation then you are in, imagine a person waiting for his cancer result which will decide if he will live or die? you are not in that position? just relax and get yourself prepared for worst and hope for best. Good Luck!

Yes very positive! waiting for this for more then two years, mix feeling now btw, as also regret and this feeling that it should have done earlier, I could change module and pass well before!

It was like I am going through hell every three months for more then two years.

I have passed all my professional papers in the first go. But I’ve been stuck with ATX. This is my fourth and hopefully last attempt. I really need to pass this paper because I can’t afford to give it again. If I fail it will break me completely. I hope I don’t take any extreme measures ?

mere bhai, don’t take it to heart look at me, please keep tawakal Allah, IA you will do it, if not this time next time, be prepared for anything it does not end of world

You should absolutely feel proud. These exams are far from easy and at the end of the day, once qualifed, no one will know how many times you had to resit. You have stuck with this and not given up, which i think many people would have done in your position.

Don’t let this moment you’ve been waiting for and working towards for so long be dampended by any kind of Shame. You’re potentially two days away from being ACCA qualified!!! You should be getting ready to celebrate

Thanks for your kind words.

@olaair said:

@naz2 Congratulation!!!!!!!!!! I am happy for you… I have followed your story through this platform sitting by sitting….. You have shown a commitment to your goal…. I am now a ACCA member who qualified last September sitting…. if you can see the word “Affiliate” you can start celebrating….. you can take my word to the bank…. YOU HAVE PASS AND FINISHED WITH WRITING ACCA EXAMS!

Thanks Olaair, Indeed it was a long journey for me which is finally ended!

[naz2]

Anyone who says that simply log in to Acca legitimate portal and assuming from a result you have passed or failed is illegal, I am happy to challenge in any court of the world!

Nobody is hacking the system, if we want to live in our fairy world, please let us live it. I have nots of respects for all the tutors here and I am thankful for their help and Opentuiton for my life, but I don’t agree with the fact that there is anything wrong with these theories.

[naz2]

I am 34 years old, seen a lots of ups and down in my life, I never thought I will start ACCA or even be an accountant 12 years ago.

APM was my last exam which I first sat in March 17, I managed to pass other exams 2nd or at least 3rd time, was never a brilliant student though, but this last exam drained all the energy from me, I was battling for more than 2 and half years and 10 or 11 attempts, some remember me here as Chulbulla or Jibri, but I never gave up neither changed my module, I was so desperate to see the word affiliate and finally! finally this morning I can see the magic word and also access the link, I can guarentee more than 100% to anyone who has seen this that you have passed, and for ones who didn’t, you can try next time I am sorry and can feel your pain.
I am happy that its over, but not proud of my self, I should have passed it a long time ago.

[naz2]

Guys please confirm who is a finalist and not seen affiliate & error while login to link provided on page 3

@awogbod2 said:
No my source page is weird no affiliate in it.Still holding on to Sunday midnight. I have heard of people who passed and the link didn’t work for them. The fact that I sat two Papers it could be that I got one and not the other or none hahah.

so no affiliate and error when accessing the link?

[naz2]

@prasuacca said:

what do you see when you access link, are you a finalist? did you try e-Business?

[naz2]

@lstapley89 said:
Have you checked?

Not yet until I see some more people here who have checked.

[naz2]

@davide64 said:
I think ACCA have taken steps to fix this issue now (remember that email they sent out reminding people not to do this?). Not getting my hopes up until someone says they can’t see ‘Affiliate’ in the source code…as bad as that sounds!

if they would have fix the issue, it would be that no one can access the link or saw affiliate rather everyone see it, if you know any non-finalist around you, try asking them to access the link, it is coincidence that so far everyone here saw the word affiliate, but how many are here 4 or 5 people? I will be really surprised if ACCA played this game after two and a half years in my experience.

[naz2]

Good luck finalists for tomorrow.

[naz2]

My 11th attempt for APM, waiting to see affiliate on E-business coming Thursday from a long long time.

Problems with Qualitative models
1) Internal focus, use PEST to overcome problem
2) Subjective in nature, difficult to quantify but use trend analysis
3) Grey area results in inconclusive results
4) Very limited financial focus, has to be a balanced view
5) Historical in nature based on single point in time, rather than considering periodic anaysis

I hope it helps!

Thank you, so my points were not correct then I was confused about what to write

1- Its old model may not fit in todays business as world has changed.
2- It is a subjective model and ignores the financial information.

cannot remember what else I wrote.

[naz2]

Anyone?

Lack of time was the biggest factor for me.

I did the two section B questions first then the Section A

I was not expecting ROI and RI. I left out the RI calculations and just added in commentary on the pros and cons of ROI and RI as performance measures.

I found the BCG questions confusing on how to link it to performance management. I focused on KPIs for the various stages Cash Cow, Star, etc. But not sure if I answered this correctly.

The BPR question again ran out for time here and had to move on.

Overall my impressions were it is as much a time exam as much as knowledge and analysis. I am not sure if this is a realistic way to prepare students for real life. To provide board level analysis and recommendations in such a rushed manner.

What KPI’s you have suggested?

[naz2]

@sanjanapaul1234 said:
Uhmm….I would disagree with the explanation of not considering R&D and Brand building expenses while calculating ROI and RI as ROI and RI are ratios in which manipulations can be done to the operating profit through creative accounting. However, EVA is a method that doesn’t allow such manipulations and adjusts the profits nearer to a proxy cash flow. Hence, according to me, if a divisional manager is measuring performance via ROI or RI, he will consider R&D and Brand building costs. Restructuring costs are arguable and so I toh showed calculations for both (with considering restructuring costs and without considering restructuring costs) (I had seen this type of an answer in the exam kit) That logic of long term benefits add back applies to EVA only.

1b- I described the whole BCG matrix and related it to the given case study. Financial KPIs like Sales revenue and profit margins for Essan (Differentiation strategy one) KPIs like Cost per unit and cost variances for Doilet (Cost leader strategy) and KPIs like Sales revenue, ROI, RI, EVA for Fada as it was a problem child and we have to either apply the invest or divest strategy to it. For investment, we have to check the ROI/RI with that logic I wrote ROI and RI. But to play safe, I mentioned Sales revenue in fada again because I felt that to decide upon a decision of divestment or investment, managers have to check the sales revenue trend from that particular division na so! I hope they consider and give me marks for Fada :p

I hope we both pass this time..

However again for R&D and BBM, the main point was not that it is a long term what it has distinguished that the cost was for benefit whole as a group and not individual division, I remember seeing that sentence.

was your answer for Q3 any closer to what I wrote above? I was struggling to put an answer for Q3 b.

[naz2]

ACCA published Sep/Dec 19 question, but this is only Sep 19 questions and nothing from December 19, so why called it Septemeber 2019?

Also, anyone noted that there was no embedded requirements in question 1 like September 2019?
