Yemibabs – Give it a few days to rest then get back on it and start revising again. This was my 3rd attempt and i onyl just passed, which i am very surprised about (i thought i would be up in the 60+ range with the amount i wrote and valid points) I didnt feel i done anythig different this time round, i always use tht PEA method (Point, Explain, Apply) to get the marks. Just must have been lucky this time.
The “Theory of the Login” has been around for a while – if you go to the countdown threads, if it was your last exam, people found out a way to see if you had passed or not by using 2 old login screens to MyAcca, prior to results being released. If you had passed and were affiliate then it would shoud “contact members@acca.com” and the other login would show details – this would mean you had passed
If you logged in and it stated contact “students@acca.com” and the the other login shows and error screen then you were still classed as a student and had failed.
I was under the category of the error screen and still showing student@acca.com and i passed – proving that theold login theory doesnt work and shouldnt be used to determine a pass/fail.I scraped a pass and no more, now finished all exams.
I also want to say the THEORY OF THE LOGIN LINKS IS RUBBISH AS I HAD BOTH THE ERROR AND THE @STUDENT (what people were saying were fails on the other topic page) AND I HAVE PASSED.
So in future for people resitng last exam please ignore people discussing the login methods for finding out pass info.I like everyone else it seems struggled with this paper. I was sure I passed last time, however got 48. This time I know it’s a fail.
I can’t believe ACCA approved the examiner to issue this exam paper. I am so angry with it all. Completely different to past papers and questions were huge marks for topics that were so brief in study material for both BBP and Kaplan ( the biggest providers).
What was question 1a) all about? Should the question have been prepare Q2 budget, typo maybe?, why would you re-create Q1 when actuals have already occurred.
Generally far too much reading in the time allocated with trick questions – for example I seen PEST and thought perform PEST analysis but no the question was why use a PEST and for something like 8 marks?Very unfair paper and I hope someone from ACCA reads this forum. They just want our money (yet again)
