ACCA Paper AA exam was – June 2021 Exam – Instant Poll and comments

Quite lengthy……you can’t attempt it all. Time just flew. I did objectives first, and by the time I was finishing my first 30 mark scenario I had only 30 minutes left. My issue is I like to read the scenario, imagine it in real life and then think of all the possible answers….in short I am Sloooowww. Good practice though. A quick look at scenario questions….these were not tough…only if I could attempt these ?

Exam went well. Ended up with an hour to check over my answers.

I find attempting the lengthy questions first asthe best approach so most time is spent on them e.g. 30 mark first then one 20 and then multi choice then final 20 marker and read over.

Make sure to read rhe question first so you know what you are looking for before reading the scenario and highlight those that relate to the question.

Typical questions of documents description and advantage, substantive procedures on trade payables/accruals, inventory valuation, legal claim.

Audit risk & audit response, internal controls to rely on & test of control, control defencies & recommendations, audit planning qs.

Read through previous exam answers as typcial answers crop up and was very helpful!

I had exact same problem. Ran out of time couldn’t finish the exam. I did the multiple choice in 30 mins which I thought was okay but then the long questions came. All the scenario were soooo long!!?

It was ok, but lengthy. Questions were similar to previous exams papers, doing past papers would help. Time management was essential. I calculated time to be spent on each question (like 1.8minutes*30marks) and after 54 minutes have passed, just moved to another question. It helped to finish all questions.
In first part was question to calculate correct wages for the year, it was just 2 marks, but looked complicated and lengthy, so I used calculated guess and moved on, it also saved some time for easy marks in section B.
Hope for 50 marks ))

Paper was very fine and all questions in section B were familiar if you did practise on response to Audit risks, defficiencies in internal control and substantive procedures. However i was nervous at first attempt and surely didnt give my best to section A but hopefully i will reach the Shore

It was lengthy and difficult in parts but overall was definitely passable. Hopefully done enough to pass.

I think section a & b are just randomly generated from a question bank so you probably wouldn’t get the same questions or maybe one or two the same. You should be careful asking about it though as I know there are admins who looks for people talking about the exams as it could help people potential cheat. Good luck 🙂

@parthwadhwa007 – you should practice all available questions using the many resources available to you through ACCA’s wesbsite and OpenTuition platform. Next week’s questions will be drawn from a different selection of questions so your pursuit here for “hints” is futile.

As emily1001 says you should be extremely careful – ACCA has many admin processes (automated and manual) not only on-the-day but in review processes before the release of results that will detect misconduct or unethical practices.

Hey Kim,

Hope you are doing well!

I know anyhow the question will not be the same also I have practiced 2018-2020 past year practice papers, I was just asking the questions for a reference similiar to past year paper not breaching any code of conduct.
Also, I myself opted for 7th June exam unfortunately there were some technical glitches because of which I was not able to attempt my exam hopefully this time it won’t be the case.

Hey anyone know whats the calculation of wages and salaries calculation answer
1. 8.4m
2. 8.3m
3. 8.6m
4. 8.8m

Same bro…
I mean how can we evenly distribute 20 new employee across a year.?

8.4 was the closest to my calculation. The new employees were distributed evenly across the year… so 1.6666 each month.
