@heychi said: Wow! an hour early? I didn't even have enough time to properly finish the last question!

Exactly that's what is worrying me! Everyone seemed to be struggling for time and I have an abundance! I even went through the paper 5 times to make sure I hadn't missed a question. Added all the marks up on the paper to make sure a page wasn't missing! I've more than likely not explained my answers fully enough and will be marked down. I stupidly didn't leave a gap inbetween my questions to go back and add more so just sat there twiddling my thumbs! Oh well there is nothing I can do now.

I always answer each question on separate sheets, even if they have a part b). It's a bit OTT but I always get paranoid that they might miss one of my answers. Plus, there'll be the room to re-do the whole question again if I come back to it and spot something.

Hey, that's exactly what I choose. Written rep.

If I did 2 I am sure I would fail one so this means waste of money and time for repeating... plus I don't get time off so it is covered with my holidays and it would be difficult to manage.

Hi April, My employer gives me paid leave for my courses as well as additional study leave. Therefore I have time to learn the course and study during my average working day. I can imagine it is very hard with little support from your employer.

Not necessarily. Not all the mcq were relevant to the scenario but about one or two in each sec. Of all the sections in part A i belive the first and last questions were most challenging.

I cannot remember being presented with a balance. Where did u get the current asset and inventory figures?

I failed back in dec 2016 only because i was not prepared for the paper as i rank june 2017 being more difficult yet was more confident and comfortable in the exam. I didnt complete all of ques 17. Sec A and b were difficult only because i could n I t remember the procedures. Not sure about sec d. Over all i think i would deserve a pass for the effort of completing questions 18 & 16 though not certain of my answers. Hoping for a pass. I always pass on the second attempt. Hope i did enough this time. But if I fail my focus will be on Audit Evidence, finalization and ethics. Good look everyone

hi. hope you all did well for your exams. if my memmory is right, they've mensioned the criteria to which the materiality should be measured. and that was revenue.

April, I feel like we're twins here. Similar answers and same situation! How many papers have you got left to take? I'm also unable to take more than 1 paper every 3 months. My plan is to go it alone until I'm part qualified and then seek an employer willing to support me through to the professional papers.

@april04 said: Hi Heychi, I still have F5 and F6 and awaiting F8 results so maybe 2 maybe 3 papers. How about yourself?

I have F8 results pending and have F5,F7 and F9 - so yeah, 3 or 4 papers.
