@avbosip said: You can make a mitigation claim after the results are released. I suppose.

@claireday88 said: Call ACCA and ask them. I had to do it before but can't remember how of the top of my head. But u can do it as soon as you have had your exam!

Thanks guys! Yeah I gave them a call and they add a section on MyACCA for me to report mitigating circumstances. All that's left is to hope for the best!

@wm1878 said: Thought the paper was ok, usual mix of easy marks and some made you wonder what was actually being asked for. Had the Technical problems too, invigilator locked my system while I popped to the bathroom and then couldn't unlock it, had to sit outside for 15 mins while he ran around phoning the exam team/ACCA for help. Had the time added back on but it wasn't easy sitting back down and getting in the zone for the last hour.

That's exactly the same issue I had, although in my case they tried logging me onto another computer and it said that I had not started the exam at all with all questions unseen. In the end, they were unable to restore my save state so I couldn't continue but they were able to obtain a backup of my work (I didn't see it so I hope it's right). We decided to send the backup for marking with a report, not the best case but oh well! C'est la vie

@eighteighteight said: I also don't think I passed, the mcq's were fairly difficult in my opinion. Also there was a key audit matter question which stumped me. To be honest, I don't mind too much and I am just treating it as a learning experience, no more going to the toilet! At this point it's probably best to not worry and hope for the best!

Ah yes the key audit matters question - the first bit i put if the auditor had made a significant adjustment, there were two other criteria i cant remember that determines it as a key audit matter. The last part i guessed

@claudia123 said: I thought it was quite a fair exam, although Section A had a lot of 'multiple response' questions, which I always find unfair as one wrong part and you're back to zero! My Section B questions were on internal control deficiencies for Yangtze Co (I think?), substantive procedures for a bread-making company (got a bit stuck on how to explain procedures re: the unsellable bread), and audit risks with Mekong Co. Also got a question on explaining potential threats and safeguards. Theoretical questions were on internal vs external audit, and the audit strategy/ plan. All-in-all not too bad, but I've seen many times that people score less on AA than they were expecting, so I'll wait until mid-July... Hope everyone else's exam went well :)

i got the same questions. hoping for the best!!

Omg Mazina and Claudia I had the same tasks as well. Totally agree with multiply choice. They were tricky. But I hope I was able to calculate the total expected amount for the revenue doors old - 3867. For unsold bread I said it will overstate revenue and may need to be written off. I hate substentatove procedures but tbh all of them examples were in test kit. I hope I got at least 50. Wishing good luck to everyone.

some difficult questions on procedures in section B. rest was ok. see what happens.

Hi, section A was a disaster for me because of having to select more than one statement, so even i get one right other wrong it's zero marks. To make it even worst i was the only one that computer froze so had to change place after that i lost focus and panicked in section B, with everyone typing at the same time was so distracting i kept on thinking time is running out, just wanted to leave the room, first time doing a level 2 exam CBE was the worst, might miss graduating this year.

@eighteighteight said: Hey guys I hope it went well! (or at least as well as it could go) I was wondering if anyone knew how to request mitigating circumstances on MyACCA? To keep it short, my work didn't automatically save when I went to the toilet because of technical issues. The invigilator advised me to send a mitigating circumstances complaint through MyACCA but I can't seem to find this under the "Exams" section.

See here https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/help/exam-sessions.html the deadline for claiming any mitigation is 14th JUNE. If you have problems with the portal use ACCA contact details.

The exam itself was fair in terms of questions.however the deduction of 15 minutes had an adverse impect on my ability to complete the exam bcz I left almost 4points that would make me finish up the exam.
