    hi – I am in the same position, where I have the notes and text book for 2011 and not sure about the changes in 2012. The syllabus guide says no additions but some of the standards have changed so not sure if this is applicable for June 2012 sitting!

    Not a good paper for me at all. Though it brings no comfort to me, it gives some sense of relief to hear most of you say that Q1 was an unfair question and that it appears to be more P3. That was my feeling from the very beginning but eventually blamed myself that I was under prepared. I have not done P3 as yet but had started to look through the notes for next time around and remember seeing something on CSF. After my P5 exam, I went to opentuition notes and saw nothing on CSF. I then turned to BPP text and found only one sentence on CSF in the entire book (not the most recent text). Furthermore, I searched for the technical article that someone mentioned and could not find any. To have a full question on CSF for P5 (31 marks, the highest on the paper) is rediculous and unfair to us as students.

    No you not the only one to feel the exam was unfair, too long and a complete joke ! i get more angry when i see people saying that it was ok and the examiner is good !! i think they probably done P3 which I haven’t yet thats y i struggled. Anyways please leave your feedback on ACCA website to get a better marking, hopefully!

    Hi All – lets do something positive and that will make a change by leaving all the comments that were mentioned on here to ACCA Feedback site

    https://www.accaglobal.com/allnews/students/2010/NEWSQ4/News/3381129

    The only hope to pass is by letting ACCA know that the Exam was not well structured and hopefully they will take this into account when marking our answers.

Hopefully the marking will be lean and fair and may be we get a pass! Please ask everyone you know to do the same.

    I’m pretty certain I’ve f***** this one right up! This paper was TOTALLY different from previous papers and I know if you have learnt everything then that shouldn’t really be an issue but I’m sure the BPP taught course focus is driven by past papers and from my memeory we only really covered about a third of the paper.

    I was hoping that most pepople felt the same so that the marking would be more lenient, but it appears that most people on here found it to be OK, so seems like there is a good chance of me faling.

    I didnt feel it was an easy paper. the exam is way too long for the 3 hours and most of it was not from the syllabus. I do not understand how can people say it was ok and fair! Anyways please give ur feedback on ACCA website, may be the marking will be lean then.
