Had a question from lenier programming in section c which was a disaster for me..
Yeah. Me too. Never expected to come in section C. But maybe i have done the a part right
x+y<38000 dont remember the exact figures.
Thought I had prepared well for it but wow that was tough! Especially Section B – question about the aircraft sales. Now we wait..

Couldn’t answer the PM exam due to ACCA cancelling the session exams in Kuwait due to the coronavirus outbreak! Have to wait till June 2020 now to pass this exam!
I noticed that on the exam vouchers that you print is says that with Pandemics you won’t probably get a refund!
This was easier than I thought. This module is more maths based which is better for me as I did an engineering degree.
I answered everything, time was tight on section C but luckily I had some spare from a quick section A.
Did anyone else get a zero cost gap on the aircraft target cost?
I tried to check it twice as I thought it was odd to ask that question without a cost gap.I can’t see a Poll to fill out as it says in the title??
In my opinion it was a very challenging paper. Tougher than I expected especially Section B because section C I was expecting it to be quite tough.

I got the same answer yes. I really battled with that question. It was very challenging
My answer was $0 as well for that particular question.
Agreed with the $0 however lost so much time recomputing again and again… weird question
same here ! run out of time to calculate slack and discuss the same lost almost 10 marks there
milk yoghurt and cream question …limiting factor was ok but too lengthy
lucky you ! it was difficult to think with mask on and grasping for air with elevated heartbeat due to tough questions…
you got more time to study…. even after preparing had tough timehey anyone solved guitar and violin question another OTQ was sales volume planning variance and sales volume operational variance.. was tricky one
What was the answer to the question that how much will increase profit of company which sales flight tickets? In case that market research company identifies clearly the demand for July six months before
For section C I had got IOA and other institution for comparison
Where Growth , standards flexibility were issues and innovation & career support were plus pointsI will have a crack at it:
You choose the best option for every demand and work the rates for that highest value. This is then the maximum profit you can hope to expect. This is the perfect rate.
Compare this to choosing the option with the highest expected value.
Perfect rate – highest expected value – cost of the survey = the profit improvement.
Obviously if this figure is negative then there is no point paying for the information but in the exam it was wort doing to the tune of $18K?

@martindeoMy answer was $0 as well for that particular question.
Well we either all correct or incorrect lol
Anyone have issues with having to scroll unnecessarily to proceed with the exam?
Not being able to zoom out so you can actually see both the text and the full length of your word document was so absurd – you pretty much have to settle for seeing only 1 at a time with the resizing.
I don’t know if its due to monitor size?
@shoban I had that problem as well, lost 5 minutes at the very end of exam. I couldn’t scroll past the page I was on no matter how much I tried. ACCA in my opinion should give more time and take this in consideration with CBE. Especially with issues of formulas as well. For such a time pressure paper the last thing one needs is go to battle with Excel or scrolling. It was such an ordeal that I wish I could make a formal complaint.
