    Very hard exam. The questions had nothing to do neither with the practice KIT neither past papers. I had solved 2 times all the exam kit and I had never seen so many tricky questions. There were no easy marks available except for a few. The time needed for many questions was just not enough for a 3 hour paper. Too many details with too many requirements. I really wonder what the passing rate will be.

    This is my second time seating this exam and to be honest I think It was somewhat ok and somewhat Hard But not a complete disaster. There’s just too much information to absorb and digest in only 3 hours, I managed my time alot better this time than I did in the previous exam but still ran out of time while answering the 2nd question in section c. I honestly don’t know if I’ll pass or not but hoping for the best ??

    Section C was a disaster specially the health nuts question! The question had too many details on it and it was very confusing! I did manage to write something on part a but did not have enough time for part b and c! I really hope to pass this exam!!

    How did everyone else find the exam? Specially the health and nuts question ?

    Yes..i also got transfer pricing and variances my section C. Though I find it though because I am not good at transfer pricing. Section A and B was not bad at all

    Seriously … I am so pissed off why they would do that to us. I studied over 400 hours and still don’t know if I passed. The transfer price question was brutal and it’s not that I don’t understand the concept, but the way they explained it was not clear at all. I got question regarding therapists and vacuum cleaners. This is my second time doing this exam ..I pray to God I passed

    None of the transfer questions I’ve ever done remotely resembled this one. It also made no sense. Budgeted therapy days didn’t match anywhere near the total days actually available etc. gave 2 transfer prices and didn’t specify which one to base it off of etc..

    I seriously had to guess for it….the therapy question was so confusing it made no sense to me at all. Therapy days didn’t match the total days available, two transfer prices. No specification on what amount of customers to base the total profits on…

    I agree.. I was really confused and spent way too much time on the question and most likely made a mess of it!
