PMACCA Paper PM September 2020 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments

What questions were given in sec c of ur paper

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 ??

I got Health Nuts and Yetgo Co in Section C.

GOD PLEASE HELP ME PASS THIS TIME ROUND.

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

I got the therapist and vaccum in section c . Found section b with that veggie pot difficult don't know if I was reading it right it not couldn't see where to work out the target cost from

Anyone else get the limiting factors questions As 3M+5M <12000 hours 6M + 10m < 27000 hours ??

That veggie question blew my mind, hated it

I found the Healthnut question very confusing also, too many details!

Omg did it make sense to you? I couldn't calculate the cost gap

Other one was that limiting factors question and I think target cost, I forgotten what the other one was. Section c sales variance and transfer pricing

I am in the same situation as you

Yes even could not manage

I got this question it was so confusing with too many content and numbers

Yes...i couldn't too but the rest queation on target cost was fair..i just picked one answer and moved on ...

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

Yes i got that question sales quantity profit variance sales mix profit variance

what does routine actually mean because it is TPS or EIS?

I got learning curve and I think throughout..can't remember

I think it’s TPS

is it? i was so confused if it was TPS or EIS because routine means now and then and also means daily so i put EIS :/

Hello there, I will be taking my F5 exam under remote exam conditions on the 16th and am really intimidated after reading all of your reviews of the paper. Would anybody mind giving suggestions as to how exactly I should design my next 6days to be able to pass this exam fairly well, based on what you guys felt and experienced after taking your exam today? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Andy i would suggest doing all mcqs from past papers at least twice also try to do all constructed questions from past Exams available,have a look at the PQ magazine ,they give few points on what can come in constructed question so it would be pointless to practice too many long questions of topics with low likelihood to appear in 20 marks question.. Dont get to worry but focus on past exam papers rather than bpp or kaplan which are useful but at this stage you will be better off with past exams in my opinión.

I felt that the grammar of the veggie pot was disaster .... It was so confusing and I actually had to guess With the cost gap.. It looks as they did this test in a hurry and they have had plenty of time.

i got the healthnuts question also. It was totally confusing i agree

Exactly I couldn't do it either

Very badly written paper. The way they were asking questions did not make any sense and some mcq questions grammatically you could not connect wiith any available answers. Felt like this paper was put together in a hurry and noone proof read it. Veggie pot or Copie-Tie learning curve questions were a total joke! Question n itself simply did not make any sense! I also agree that 3 hours were not enough for this confusion. Half of the time I was just trying to figure out what exactly are they asking. Mess, just mess

Yes I got the same. Did you include advertising costs when calculating profit for the variance question? Struggled with the veggie pot target cost question too. Found it extremely difficult - been studying for 5 months. It was a tough one.

We are in the same shoes
