    Hey

    I was exempt from PM and sat APM. I studied with Kaplan and used OT lectures where I needed too.

    My advice would be to read up on PM assumed knowledge and learn (Re-learn) the basics. That’s what I did first.

    Do the lectures/self study but make sure you set aside a few weeks prior to the exam, to do exam questions once you have the knowledge. I think this was key for me. This and also reading the examiners reports and technical articles as well.

    Last exam and first time pass with 56. Must’ve had a strong Q1 because I definitely messed up the VBM and JIT questions.

    Congratulations to you all and for those resitting do not, do not, give up.

    Can’t wait for the results if i’m honest. Unsure why future certified chartered accountants would come up with wild theories to try and cheat the system in order to find out their results early. What impression does that give? Good luck to everybody honourably waiting for their results. I sat SBL and despite finishing the paper in its full capacity still am nervous as to whether i have passed or not. I will be waiting up on Sunday with my Mrs with a nice cold beer for the result!

    Love seeing people get on their high horse about this sort of thing.

    I think everyone deserves a good luck regardless of their approach, don’t you think?

    And it’s chartered certified fyi.

    .

    On a more brighter note, does anyone know if examiner reports will be released today given that it’s a bank holiday in some countries?

    First time sitting this. Was a fair exam.

    Q1 –
    Performance report – Okay I think
    Other indicatiors – Okay although forgot how to work out TSR so just put that I needed more information
    Role of SMA – Okay although probably could’ve been clearer in my answer
    Data warehouse – used characteristics of big data for my answer so not sure

    Q2 – VBM? My head went at this point, so answered part b. In the end just wrote about target setting, smart etc did not relate to the scenario at all
    B) EVA – I got $104. Deducted the movement in the provision as it was a reduction. Didn’t add the full prov to C/E. Capitalised the market spend. When I was doing practice questions on this I was adding up the numbers wrong (with a calculator as well) so wouldn’t surprise me if that was wrong.

    Q3 – Just in time – blew this … made one or two points on the production and purchasing
    B) quality costs – did the cost calc and %of revenue. Included all costs under the categories. Didn’t comment on the results.
