I found this exam unfair with 3 qurstions out of 4 concentrated on the business combinations and acquisitions of any shape and forrm. This doesn’t give any credit to the effort put towards obtaining comprehensive knowledge across all syllubas and as a result significantly reduced chances to pass. I would encourage all students who feel the same to complete the ACCA survey (following the link that you should have received via email)and give your feedback.
This was my 11th paper and only 2nd time that I feel the exam was not a fair test of knowledge. I think that completing the ACCA survey last time (for one of F papers) triggered the examination team to review the marking requirements.

Thank you Stephen,

Your explanation, comments and the alternative example make sense.

Kind regards,

Makes sense.

Kind regards

Ah, nooo – it’s a silly mistake and I didn’t spot it.

Thank you very much John, I shall pay more attention during the exam to avoid this oversight.

Can I take this opportunity to say a big thank you to OpenTuition and you personally for the great lectures and an amazing opportunity to communicate with the tutors, and best wishes for continued success.

Kind regards,
Olga

Many thanks! Sorry, my oversight.

Happy to sign the petition!
It was my 7th CBE and I thoroughly prepare for each paper. F5 Mar exam was nonsense, the number of complex question was out of proportion. Scenarios of sections B and C questions were way too long and not always clear to understand quickly under time pressure.
I am sure that all prepared students could come up with correct solutions if time allows.
It wasn’t fair test of knowledge.

Thank you John, it makes sense.

For some reason I thought they would aim to make two best products.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Many thanks for the prompt reply Mike, much appreciated.

Thank you Mike. I’ve got 70% pass – very happy.
I will miss your lectures and your great sense of humor!

Thank you for your exhaustive answer Mike. I was looking for the answer in the posts, but it looks like my skills of using the forum definitely need to be improved.

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy at work all the week. Here is the reference:

BPP Learning Media, ACCA Approved Study Text, Paper F4 Corporate and Business Law (English), Study Text for exams from 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016
Page 184, 3.4.2 – Minimum membership and directors
Page 233, 1.4 – The number of members

I can also see your post from May 31, confirming that the number of members for the public companies is one.
Now I can only hope that this question will not come up on my exam, which I am taking with Kaplan, in case they didn’t change their answer bank database to reflect the correct answer :-).

Have a nice weekend,
Olga
