I sat the CBE and it was very hard for me to type because the desk was too high and very uncomfortable .I had to keep my shoulders somehow higher and still couldn’t type faster if that makes sense .The desk and monitor very small. I couldn’t see the entire spreadsheet and have my workpad opened in the same time. Even if I did practice CBE I still lost lots of time arranging the pages on the screen in a way that will allow me to work.
I believe I could have done much better if the computers and desk would be same as in a work environment.
I am a tall person and I struggled I can only imagine how hard must have been for a shorter person.
Very disappointed.
This may have been only in the location where I sat the exam.
I don’t think I will pass as I didn’t have enough time to get enough marks.@jammy109 said:
For q31 operational labour efficiency variance, I working out the total hours available (160hours p/mth x24 (no. of employees) x60 (minutes in an hour) = 230,400 minutes. So on that basis, 24000 units actually took 9.6 minutes per unit, giving a favourable variance of $1,920. Any one else do the same here?@jammy109 said:

Any one else do the same here?I got the same favourable operational labour efficiency variance
Q31 for material planning usage variances:
I did actual production at standard quantity by standard price
24000*2m(2.2m/110*100) * €3 (2.85/95*100) = 144000
and
actual production at new design quantity by standard price
24000*2.2m*€3 =158400
144000-158400= €14400 Adverse planning usage
Is this really wrong?will I get any marks?@micksymooresy16 said:
Found the MCQs awful, so hard!Q 31 – I did materials price var, then did materials usage variance and broke it into planning and operating variances. Same for labour effiecieny, anyone do the same?
Q 31 – I did material usage planning variance,material usage operational and material price planning variance.
Labour efficiency planning and labour efficiency operational1. Launch
2.Revenue less fixed
3.300 Adverse
those were my answer, I may be very wrongF5 was my first ACCA exam, failed 45%, I did not attempt q 31 & 32 at all as I ran out of time and panicked really bad.
