APM*** ACCA Paper APM June 2019 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments ***

The true representation of the votes is 32.65% which is genuine.The 40% is not.

I received email from ACCA to complete a survey on June 2019 exam. And I told whoever is concern to refer to this APM Poll especially Question 3b, however how serious will surveyor take candidates feedback is a different stories. APM is not a straight forward test to the syllabus, so candidates really need time to plan how to address to the question requirments and generating ideas to the case scenarios under 3.15 Hours. We spent time studied so hard on the syllabus apart from our day job and a nasty Question such as 3b can messed up alot of people's effort preparing for this.

Last sitting was a 40, exam technique probably the cause eventhough i attempted 95% of the paper. There were too many paragraphs uptill last page of answer booklet i wrote perhaps hard to mark for examiner, wasn't came about knowing the PERT answer format until I came across Point. Explain. Related. Timing I am hoping as wel for Q1 and Q2 to pick most of the marks. Q3a was a rush to sell my ideas "Evaluate whether company should change to ABB" 5 points and a conclusion but probably won't do so well, while Q3b was total wasted

Question 1d I wrote about the problems with only using financial information? Is this correct?

I wrote that it is insufficient to only use financial information as non financial info is important as well. Coordination and sharing of info between the 2 entities. And the costs issues That's what I remember that I wrote

I can't remember if it was a subsidiary or part of a strategic alliance the relationship between the companies but i wrote that through the other company only using financial data it would be difficult manage the quality as: -Financial data doesn't reflect the full picture of the quality of the goods produced -Difficult to project how the quality of the goods will be maintained in the future as non financial factors cannot be considered such as employee satisfaction and morale -Using the financial data would be backward looking, making it difficulty to manage future quality This is my final exam and I haven't failed one yet but think I've tripped up on this one. Any suggestion on the marks for this type of answer? Thanks
