I was the same with Q1 had to move on thought I would have time to go back at the end but didn’t had to rush it
Same here 3rd time sitting it hoping professional marks push me over 50Same for me with EVA think it was way off but at least tried probably had one or two things in the wrong place

Hassan Dossani webinars / questions practice – follow his structure and layout of the answers and how to break down the marks
Very useful – I didn’t use any other books for SBLPassed with 58% on the first try! I have never passed any of these exams the first time so I am very very happy!

Certainly, the name of the company is QH (Qualita Homes), and the country is Morlia. I’m certain that the overview was the same with what i have read so far BUT i think the exhibits and requirements were different.Yes definitely the same company but 2 possibly 3 variants with different questions !
nighteyes wrote:Hmmm, the more I read in this thread, the more I think I completely ballsed up the QH case study. Bloody hell…
It is definitely interesting to read different answers but I think it can be very subjective too in the marking
I usually don’t come here if the exam went bad because it makes me feel worse….But exam was ok
It is possible we are talking about 2 different questions. The Q I had was what factors should QH consider when deciding how and what is reported to the stakeholders.
The annual report had both financial and non-financial info and was more of an IR report rather than purely financial anyway so would have been difficult to cover more regarding IR.
The question asked how do we know what to report to them & what factors to consider of the stakeholders when deciding how and what to report – if the question asked to suggest what reporting for them IR would have probably been appropriate but the question was about how do we decide ie their power & interest
I agree a lot of the questions were related to impact on strategic objectives so I felt like a lot of my answers were very repetitive
Any else feel like they were repeating similar points in each task?
As far as I remember the stakeholder question was phrased like ‘ what factors should QH consider when deciding how and what is reported to the stakeholders’
When I first read this question I wrote down integrated reporting and the 6 capitals so when I came to write I would remember.
But when I came back to write I read the question again and took the stakeholder matrix route – keep informed, keep satisfied etc. because it mentioned what factors I thought it was asking more how do we know what to report to the stakeholders ie how involved are they rather than what reports do they get – but I could be wrong??
I guess now I am thinking about it maybe it could have been leaning more towards they should adopt IR and the advantages. Can someone enlighten me?t33oto wrote:Hi, I wrote basically What ABM is and where it’s most uselfel for, (business with higher overheads and wide product lines, helps makes decisions on each product etc.
Reading what you wrote and thinking I wrote the opposite… I said it would help them and they should adopt it went through each activity of the sales office and how it could be organised better.. note sure that will be right but hopefully a few marks

Sorry didn’t reply to comment properly
Aligns directors interests to shareholders interests as both want to maximise share price, less likely to make risky investments etc. Hoping that’s right …
I had same as above. Here is the breakdown of marks from what I can remember – dunno if anyone else like me try to add up to see if they got enough should probably just forget about it and wait for results!! I always look for these but this time I remembered myself
Overall was ok… had to move on when ran out of time but don’t think there’s much more I had in my brain to write anyway so at least will be marked out of 100 to give best chance of passing. Did it in December and got 44% so hope this was the one ….
Q1. Fill in missing figures on performance report and comment on inventory system (8 marks)
Evaluate current performance report (15 marks)
Balanced scorecard (17 marks)
BSC and employee behaviour (6 marks)
Professional marks (4 marks)Q2. Cost per unit & implications of calculations (9 marks)
Activity based management approach (16 marks)Q3. Pay related performance adverse consequences (13 marks)
Director share option scheme (12 marks)I am in a similar enough situation. I did face to face classes for FM and after failing twice I used open tuition lectures for the third sitting and just passed it in March. Since the June exam is cancelled for me in wondering would I be able to manage to self study using open tuition for AFM in September rather than waiting for face to face classes to start again which would be for the December sitting. I think it would be no harm to give it a go for September if I fail I can try again in December and have the practice of the first exam.
I’m just afraid after taking 3 attempts to pass FM that AFM might be a harder one for me to self study and it might be very difficult. But with no classes starting up for a while I think the best option for me is to go straight into AFM while FM is still fresh in my mind and then I can go back to SBL etc after this.
Can any AFM students shed some light on this? How much harder is it than FM and is it doable in 4 months ?
Failed 46% in June now 42% in December..so defeated. Anyone have any tips to share?
46% … feel so defeated. Only done 2 exams so far and failed both first time. Afraid this will be the same of every exam to come and I will fail them all first time
