Passed 4th attempt, with 58%, which for me is a strong pass. I’m done! it’s taken more than 10 years with a large break in the middle. I am so glad it’s over! I can finally apply for membership.For those who didn’t pass, do not give up! This time I downloaded the last 4 years exam questions and did every one as well as Questions from the BPP Book for those topics which had not come up recently. I have to say after previously using just BPP the Open Tuition lectures were much better and included more practical comments.
To add i am 45, work full time and have 8 year old twin boys, I am also not naturally bright. If i can do it you can too. Good Luck!
This is a positive message I can take any day. Thank you

Guys, I really don’t know why you are complaining so much. Our aim is not 100 marks, it’s 51 ?. It was not easy but we had couple of easy marks.Q1a and Q2b were together 12 marks – revised budget and preparation of rolling forecast (these are basic things in management accountant)
Q1e for 12 marks to explain modern role of management accountant (basic theory)
Q2b for 8 marks was about balance scorecard and short-termismAdditionally, these things were part of previous papers – all together more than 30 marks. (plus 4 marks for clarity and structure of report in q1)
I agree that couple of sub questions were complicated and totally confused (roce calculation, reward question) but no one is expecting to answer correctly on all questions – it wouldn’t be possible even by Kaplan and Norton :).
Examiner wants to put pressure on us, to see our way of thinking when we are not 100% confident…like in real life.
I also answered question 2 and 3. Question 3 I did not really get into it there was no time left.

Hi all,Interesting hearing people’s thoughts about the wording of the questions causing confusion. Is it possible the confusion is because you haven’t fully studied and understood the subject rather than the examiner’s grammar?
For most people taking this course English is not our mother tongue. That said there is something about the way P5 questions are asked that leaves most wondering what does the examiner really want.
