    I sat the exam today, Sections A and B is a bit hard as there are 5 questions in a true or false format, some of the questions also don’t have the choices. I took the CBE exam for the first time.

    With regards to Section C, the topics were relevant costing and not-for profit organisation which I think I did well.

    I hope I get at least 50%. 🙂

    Hi Guys,

    I just took the exam.

    A strong advise make, make sure u study the Question 253 and 258 in Kaplan revision kit.
    These were my exact exams! Like 100% the same but different numbers.
    But unfortunately I didn’t pay too much attention to these questions during revision time.
    Just hoping for some miracle now cuz these were like 40 scores in total . :’(

    Hi
    I gave my F5 exam today. It wasn’t a good paper. How about the markings? Is it tight marking?

    ?

    Hi guys,

    Well…I’ve been trying to do a post-mortem on the exam this morning, I literally have no idea how I feel about it! Section C for me was expected values and transfer pricing – normally I’m good with EV but found this part hard, normally I’m rubbish with TP but found this ok!

    Sections A/ B are a mystery to me…there were some multiple true/ false ones where I knew 3 for sure but wasn’t sure on 1, kind of annoying that it could negate the other 3! There was a question on throughput (for North factory?) that I just couldn’t work out, and normally I’m good with throughput…similarly the rolling budget figure for cost of sales got me, which is annoying!

    We’ll see anyway. This is my first ACCA exam, I’m wondering if they will all be this difficult/ intense…

    Well… this was a shocker for me. I sat the CBE.

    The section C question I had were Ted the popstar (EV) and AA Hotel (Balanced scorecard)

    regarding the balanced scorecard performance measurements I was pretty happy with where as the EV calculations for Ted were difficult, pretty sure I barely got anything right 🙁

    Section A & B questions were odd for me, I knew what area of the syllabus was testing however I could not be 100% on my answers, they were worded to strangely.

    Either way, this was my first attempt at F5 and I’m pretty certain I’ll have to re-sit this one, i’ll keep at it through the summer and book the re-sit exam in few weeks.

    EDIT: 2 and half hours my PC crashed so my exam had to be stopped, I was twiddling my thumbs and saw many other students getting question I would have happily answered, annoyed.

    So yeah, exam was resumed 25 minutes after it crashed.

    Same with us here in SG, the exam was stopped with 22 minutes still remaining in my time. I was actually hoping to start the exams again as I got stuck with first 5 questions which took me 30 mins to answer. Because of this, I wasn’t able to go back and review my answers.

    Did anyone here had the question on rolling budget of revenues and cost of sales? How did you guys answer it? What I did was I took the Jan 200X actual result and added the revised Feb and March Budget. Is this correct?

    Sat for CBE and the questions were so tough.Section C was not that so hard but had to focus a lot but Section A and B as so so hard. Had many theory related questions rather than the numericals one and I suck a lot on these questions. The topic that I had full confidence on even turned out to be a nightmare at exam halls.
    Hope I get at least 50%

    Part A and B was sooo much tricky… for every single mcqs examiner challenges candidates. I found even some mcqs which answer have to be 4 to 5 statements. Come on there should be a limit to test candidates nerves…

    Even after studying the entire syllabus, and practicing more than 16 mock exams, I still found the paper to be ridiculously difficult 🙁

    Everyone seems to have different questions to section c? I had transfer price and ev of ted which was really hard. Others are saying zero based budgeting and balance scorecard.

    I had the exact same exam…I completely agree with you. There were too many options to the ‘wordy’ multiple choice questions within section A. Section B wasn’t too bad, albeit the throughput one a little tricky…

    Section C I had a mare on the expected values – not something I even considered could be so in depth…I thought the transfer pricing went incredibly well. It’s going to be tight for me but I think i’ve just fallen short.

    Ran out of time in Section C as was too engrossed in double checking the answers in A/B.

    ACCA has its ways of making us students pull our hairs out during the exam because some of the questions require you to really understand the theory and apply it to different scenarios.

    Overall, good experience. Hope that I’ll be able to pass.

    My Section C was zero based budgeting and my answer is Decision Package 3.. anyone?

    I found section A and B quite easy. What was the answer to the relevant costing question in section A, did you have to add materials with variable overheads (spare capacity machine hours) ? And what was the answer to environmental , was it prevention cost. Anyway I got C for the first four mcq in section A. There were lots of Cs in section A for me. I sat for the paper base. Btw the Ev question was terrible. Balance Scorecard was quite fair.

    I really hope the questions for EV ted are for the 10 non counting points.
    I had section A: rolling budget
    Section b: rolling budget
    Section c: EV ted and Balance scorecard AA hotel

    Tough exam. I had Teds expected values and the AA Hotel balanced scorecard for section C. I really wasn’t sure what to do for the expected values question and I doubt I even got more than 2 marks for it!

    Sections A & B I actually didn’t find too bad although I found the optimum price in section B tricky and a couple of bits in the lifecycle costing case study hard to work out. Usually no problem with both topics! Hoping I’ve done enough…..
