I did on 32 as well
March 8, 2018 at 10:09 am #441350I never take this kind of hard exam though my all life, it destroyed my confidence and i thought i know every topic and accumulator points in the book and revision of practice well, but the revision exam questions with exam question is totally different style, I have no idea, why examiner is very harsh for students. ACCA f5 exam this time is a extremely hard and tricky style for me. For me, Section A is super hard, and Section B half of questions don’t know how to think and answer, Section C why 3E is big sections. I really want to know this season pass rate can over 40 or not? If it is lower than F8, that is so ridiculous. My heart broken after exam done.

You are making me confused because isn’t the number of batches is 32 and actual hours worked is 10,384? It’s stated in the caseThe question say for six month sept to February that would be 16 batch.
I can be wrongMarch 8, 2018 at 10:15 am #441354I worked so hard and did so many mocks. That felt so different to everything I practised. Especially section A and the 3es question in section C. Def knocked my confidence

My reasons is that the learning rate start from September not from FebruaryMarch 8, 2018 at 10:23 am #441358Well March last year was 38%, I would assume it will be around there or lower as the overall students feedback not being optimistic.
FLORALIN, don’t give up! Acca is hard everyone knows it and that is the beauty of it, I have failed F6 paper twice before pass and found the tax paper a lot drier.
I hope you did enough to get good marks but if not just carry on studying . The performance management skills is mandatory requirements to pursue a good position on the career ladder.March 8, 2018 at 10:34 am #441360Hello Thiago, thank you very much for your kindly reply. I will keep going study, I have booked F6 in June, if F5 unfortunately fail, I will take F5 in June as well. I just need do more practice and mock in F5, and understand more in every points in book, hope next time more lucky. 🙂
March 8, 2018 at 10:36 am #441361I’m planning on starting to study f6 from Monday as so long to wait for result. I used kaplan text and thought I really understood it all. Not sure what I’ll do if fail – might try doing it june too. Hate seeded questions as can’t even second guess how well think done
March 8, 2018 at 10:38 am #441363Can some please tell me what is pass rate. i searched on ACCA website and found out that for December 2017 F5 pass rate was 42* and i had 41. what does it mean? to pass the F5 or other paper must get >50%?
March 8, 2018 at 10:40 am #441365Need 50% to pass. Other figure is how many passed it in that sitting

March 8, 2018 at 10:58 am #441371Guysvi did learning curve question but calculated wrong pwrcentage of learning curve. Last 3 months were constant rate of 50% sjnce i didnt calculate cumulative batches. Will i get marks for steps please tell me i am worried
March 8, 2018 at 11:00 am #441373Thank you.
March 8, 2018 at 11:11 am #441383I got 51
March 8, 2018 at 11:42 am #441396Hi Oden, I see where your coming from.
The way i saw it, there was an incrememtal increase between the first and second batch. I know in the table the second batch there was a 1 in the number of units produced. As it is an incremental increase, this represents the second batch!. from that point it accumilates. Hence the workings:10368/32=324
324=400r3
0.81=r3
r=93.21%March 8, 2018 at 11:56 am #441400what did you write for Section C question Which factors will achieve hospital objectives? the objectives were quick access to medical service and patients care, something like this

Remember that as cum ouput double the cum ave time fall by a given percentage
March 8, 2018 at 12:14 pm #441404So there are two first Batches?. Thats how i saw it and assumed it was an increment. Remember in incremental tables the second batch is always represented as 1 unit. But I see your point

Yes 60
chairs is the correct answer…..I agree that you rank per scarce resource and tables were first. My question definitely asked how many tables because I spent about 5 minutes on it scratching my head :((

To illustrate
September, say that you are working on a new project, generally it would take longer because you are new to the product e.g 400 hours
October, you are now more familiar with the same product, generally it would take less hours than when it was your first time e.g 320 hours.
The objective is to find the rate of learning, how quick do they work. Thats why you apply the step
March 8, 2018 at 12:43 pm #441412Ahh yeee makes sense thanks very much
March 8, 2018 at 12:57 pm #441415Does anyone remember the topics in Section B for the morning session CBE? I know there was ABC (Nursing Home) and Rolling Budget but what was the other one I am worried I missed out a question :/
March 8, 2018 at 1:41 pm #441418Such an unfair exam. Tested on very small areas of the syllabus. Totally did not expect a section C full CVP question and the EHT hospitals question on values. 40 marks on them???? crazy! The core areas of the course such as relevant costing, transfer pricing, learning curve, pricing were not even tested at all, gutted as I spent a lot of time getting my head around those and skimmed over the theory, enough to answer MCQ’s on them. I sat the CBE afternoon exam. Was my first attempt and first acca exam and will be amazed if I’ve passed, will defo be a narrow one if I have.
