** ACCA F5 September 2015 Exam Results **

Dear all

what was the theory part in it as I did not sit for the exam in Sep 2015,

Thanks,

First attemp with F5 and that was the last F module. I had been very confident before went to exam hall. After 3 hours writing and comparing the estimated result with my friends, I was really depressed and believed that I would fail the F5 exam although I registered to participate the P5 exam this December. However the result really surprised me with 67%.

Hi Natalia if you attempted the september attempt plz tell me about f5 long questions from which topics they come from and what type they.plz reply me at “ahmed_sohail4@yahoo.com”

I used Open Tuition and BPP revision kit. I would say practice questions half the battle . Everything I read said time would be a big factor to watch and it is , ensure you have a strategy including best use of 15 mins reading time . Theory just as important as calculations on this one ! Also questions themselves are lengthy in text so take time to break them down , a minor piece of information amidst all that text can be vital . In relation to answers, I followed BPP the most , but I think when listing reasons just keep reasonably short, to the point and very often required to reference to case study in question . Also as someone else mentioned, be a harsh marker !! The best of luck !

HI ,, can u tell me what topics were examined in f5 sep2015 attempt? i will sit for dec2015 so i want to get some idea about the main topics the examiner covered .. plz guide me thanks in advance

Hi,

From what I recall:
– 10 marks cost gap – the steps in process
– 10 marks – minimax regret decision rule, very tricky
– 15 marks- breakeven chart (drawing chart) calculate breakeven point, margin of safety etc.
– 15 marks – planning and operational variances,

Encouraging those of you that ve nt made it never give up keep on trying, as for me will face my papers this December….Samartha whts your secret would be the happiest coming out like that

@Maria and @Beata, thanks alot for the info. how much did you guys score?

I got 60 in first attempt, self studying BPP study book and revision kit plus some lectures and notes from here. Went through revision kit 3 times.

@ mike0943. I got 66% first attempt self study . Despite my own advice on timing strategy , I spent too long on an early question that I messed up initially and ran out of time so didn’t get to 3 MCQ s so lost 6% straight off and was under serious pressure answering last few so assume made couple of errors . Open Tuition lectures v good but designed to teach overall understanding of a segment from start to finish but practice questions feel like starting over so don’t leave that too late !!!!

hi samarta, thankyou for that tips. but, what do you mean by RK?

Thanks Samantha appreciate it, one more favour how do I get hold of the past papers from 2011 to date?? Pliz….

can you please tell me from where can I get the BPP study ki and the revision kit, please

i found F5 this september was quite hard, and I was so upset after the sitting. but fortunately I passed with score of 60, the result made my day so well

i wish all the best for you guys who will sit that paper in December, good luck 🙂
