    Good time management was very tough to achieve.

    Truth is, this exam should be a 4hour paper. No one cares that much about time management in real life.

    The exam was terrible for me. I’m just hoping for a 50. The requirements are ridiculous considering the little time we have to read through, comprehend and attempt! It’s frustrating because this is my second attempt at this course.

    It doesn’t make sense. ACCA is always trying to turn accounting into rocket science. I could solve all the questions there but there’s just no time to write reports afterwards.

    I really don’t get how they are giving only 3 hrs for this exam. It takes too long to do the APV, we are not using excel to multiple the inflation and rates and presenting them well and cohesively. Q1 took a-lot of time. Q2,3 Were not that hard, however, I could not complete all because of time constraint.
    Are they testing my knowledge or how fast I can write?

    This paper was not difficult apart from not enough time to read the story to apply answers very disappointed. Q1 I thought there has to be something bigger here seemed too simply.

    What project to anyone go for

    Dividend capacity any numbers

    Same impression as earlier comments, Q1 took me 2h to complete. It wasn’t difficult but calculations, analysis and report took a lot of time. Hedged 20M, don’t remember seeing 10. Money markets hedge gave me better result though. Also in range of 24Y$. Rushed through questions 2 & 3. I’m hoping for a pass but paper is impossible to complete in time given

    That is true
