PM*** ACCA F5 June 2017 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments ***

i won't be let down by any of the answers here,i wait patiently for the results..i think we must all be hopeful and wait for the result.Sharing answers here has the tendency of getting people down. Meanwhiles it could be that what is being shared is wrong!!!!

Cross fingers.

Guys, I think I had a different variant at all. Had 20 questions in A. Has anyone had the same? Did you remember the question about police and fingerprints, was it efficiency or economy? One question in part C Q35 was about IOA and ARCHI architects institutions. Has anyone had it too?

wow the time you had on your hand

Not sure if anyone has noticed but the questions from Section C are up on the ACCA website already, if anyone wants to torture themselves over what answer they put!

You got pay-off table?

that was a hard start for me on getting onboard..I think I failed :-( although I studied a lot. Lost my time with linear programming. God I had to guess on those questions although I thought I got the study topic and practiced it.

@melonny05 said: question 8 on the hr senior who went on an holiday and disclosed his password and username to the junior staff and the junior staff used this data to leak the salary of the seniors, the question states how to prevent? I chose option D . Changing the password subsequently.

I thought I was dumb on that question. I assumed that if the manager is on vacation and is not supposed to log in during this, then IT should be able to spot any connections from his id thus can control any unauthorized accesses. Other options seemed strange to me. (

Changing a password subsequently or regularly- to me it is just fixing a problem after it already occurred. If next time HR Senior mgr again deliberately discloses the password the problem will repeat. I was initially thinking in a way what could have been done before so the leakage didn't happen at all. With modern IT opportunities, if vacation absence time is recorded in the system and IT security software can spot local connections of a person being vacation, then IT Security software could have locked the user id. Can't this work in real life?

thank you Sal. About Bags r ur (or whatever)) I got approximately the same answer. (if remember correctly now)

What was the other section C question like in the other paper?

I think this exam was very difficult. I went through all past exam papers available on the ACCA website and none of my "exam big questions" were similar to the papers I was revising.

This is also the paper I had, and I think it was the most difficult paper after reviewing all the comments on here. I don't remember what I answered. I am highly unhappy some tests variants are so difficult compared to others.

You work backwards beginning with a profit of $700,000; add $350,000 to contribution; then prorata sales and variable cost

By which date can we expect results?

17th July

I also got a lot of "c" in my multiple choice answers.

ACCA is deliberately failing students!!

Section A and B were awful for the most part. Some of the MCQs I know I answered incorrectly because I flagged them and went back to them but was shattered as I could've done with another 20 mins. Section C was pretty straight forward. One of the questions was very similar to the Kaplan interim exam question on relevant costs and the other was assessing an education provider's performance mainly with non financials. I think I did ok in them, but imho, I would probably need 70-80% in Section C to pass this exam.

The last F5 computer base exam was a diseaster! The keyboards provided were pure plastic and the constant noice from all of them made the sensation like hearing a digger outside the window. Absolutely not possible to concentrate, necessary of reading the question few times made rather additional frustration on the top of the exam stress. It was kind of traumatic experience! My advice - take paper base F5! Especially if not very very fast in typing and sensitive to very noisy atmosphere.

Question 21-25 Part B is too difficult to solve in 20 minutes. I think it must be appear in section C in written context. Nonetheless, in general, part B is too hard for MCQs. I think F5 June exam is the most difficult exam in several years recently

Good luck all for results on Monday! Hope we all get good news
