    I took this as a CBE and found the whole process was very smooth. I can type a lot faster than I can write so I was able to give much more detailed answers. The new format of the exam worked well too.

    Hi, did you get your results today too?

    Is anyone going to complain to ACCA for the mistake on the question numbering as it definitely took a chunk out of my time and stopped my train of thought when I was interrupted

    i dont get why so many people here so confused about the numbering system….it was quiet simple 16, 17, 18 – where 1, 2 ,3 …..what was so complicated….if that was the most confusing thing in the paper then you will have done fine….

    Overall, I found the exam tricky. No corporate governance, external audit vs internal audit. MCQ questions weren’t that nice except Ethics one. Overall would take 50 now.

    that could have went on but if i got distracted that easy i would be distracted every time somebody asked for extra paper or to go to the bathroom…you just have to zone that kind of stuff out.

    look i not trying to start an argument or anything but in my opinion i think its a bit of a cop-out. if your going to use the 5 minutes at the beginning of an exam as the reason for failing then you probably where not going to pass in the first place. If you could get your head back into the exam for the remaining 3hrs and 10minutes there was another reason for it….

    I found quite tricky the MCQ but most probably due to lack of time as I left them at the end … The open questions were not that difficult, however blank brain on the procedures to apply to revaluation of PPE. The brother of the director being involved in the revaluation put me off.

    It was the same content as the paper you did Harry, I will get the result on the 17th October like everyone else.

    Where it was useful was for providing answers in table format for the risk and control question and the presentation of the answers in general. Being able to select multiple choice answers at the click of a button was nice too.

    MCQs are too tricky when two answers are close. Pick the wrong one and lose 2 marks after mulling over it for 2 minutes.

    I found it difficult as well. The sales system itself was quite tricky to understand.
    MCQ’s were also quite confusing.

    And then one was for ethics…. I think it was:

    Providing taxation services – Self review
    Recruit a member of the Co – Self interest
    Represent at authorities – Advocacy
