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

I don't recall there was a question to calculate RI? I did calculate this but by mistake and when realised I calculated ROI as requested and left the RI calculation just for discussion purposes

It was third for me

Did you calculated that both managers got no bonus or that either or both got it?

I also answered TPS

When the results will be out please? My Account says 12th but I called ACCA they said 19th?

It might be because of the two week window for the remotely-invigilated session based exams.

Hey, I did their remote pilot, you can use a scientific calculator but no scrap paper

I wouldn't say it was easy as such, but I wrote this exam once before and that time I walked out feeling like it was a huge disaster but then I only failed it by 6%, this time I'm feeling a lot more positive so hoping I did passed.

Did you rank from the lowest or highest figure?

PM is the paper with the lowest pass rate.ACCA should review and give it 4 hours. Why is is same time with the rest. We are going to petition for more time in PM #PM more time and less wordy no need for all of that distructors. What do you think guys. This was a disaster grammatically.

#ACCA PM more time for PM paper 4 hours. Review the paper why you give it same time with rest when you clearly know that it if a wide syllabus and low pass rate. Stop making and look in non-financial issues

I really had the feeling like they were not testing my knowledge. But all the questions were about how to trick me not to answer correct. I studied really hard. I am disappointed!

I got the same exam. It was bloody hard to complete. I self-studied with BPP and Kaplan books and I did not find any question that they have in their Exam Kits. it is ridiculous!!

Hi I just checked my account and it says results 12th October,I did two exams and I dont know whether to start preparing for another or wait till the results to see what happens , is a month !! What would you recommend guys ?

Hiya, It depends how you feel after sitting your exams and if you want to resit in December in case you have failed? I normally move on to another exam and start revision. 6 weeks is a long time to lose...

Section A was ok, one Section B question hard, and Section C was tricky ( Had Health Nuts & Ye... too). And, time ran too fast

I couldnt calculate the learning rate, got confused

I had the issue but realised it was the way I pressed my calculator..Later got 75%..There was a variance question I used an imaginary figure and didn't know until after the exam ..i know variances well but I failed it because of that...Its an exam, somethings are bound to happen. Just hope and pray, it may not be as bad as we think

I got the question..For me one of the managers got the bonus..i got 50,000 ROI and 18% ...That manager achieved the two KPI

Hello all! Did anyone get the joint products question as sec C ? it was about calculating the optimal production plan for 2 joint products but there were no constraints whatsoever, it was about DAISY Co if I remember correctly...

The veggie pot question was missing information I'm sure of it? They gave us a cost card per batch, but then the question was per unit? Perhaps I missed some information given the nerves / stress but I read the question numerous times. On the whole I think the exam went 'okay' - had to guess a few towards the end.

Veggie pot, I lost so much time on reading and thinking the same think, batch and then unit?!!Did you had therapist question in sec. C? what was the suggested transfer price? IN section B questions were very hard, except the one with the ties but again when i calculated, didnt get the right answer.

I had the C sec. question with therapists, how much was the suggested transfer price? the other with mix variance didnt have the time, and too much information. On the B sec. I expected to have not so tough questions, but some were disaster, so much text I couldnt concentrate. How the hell do you reslove a queston from A sec. something like fixed cost are 50 k, anv VC 15 per unit, and then fixed go up at 120 k, and VC at 25 per unit, i think it asked whats the optimum or minimum production to cover all the cost?? Most important, 3h are just not enough, because when u see the clock is ticking, you get panicked, adn everything goes to faill.

yeah true the paper was really tough mostly the section C about health and nuts it just threw me off. Lets hope to GOD that we all pass our exam.

Veggie pot target costing question was confusing. Fingers crossed for the results.

exactly! I couldn't even calculate the target cost which I thought would be the easiest thing to do in the exam, but the other 4 requirements were fine. The batch details were given but were not mentioned anywhere about how many units were in a batch. I went through the question thrice I didn't find anything moved on from there. Hopefully, will make it through. overall exam was fine but section C was tough.

I read the Veggie pot question thrice and couldnt find any information on how many units were in a batch. Hope it was missing some information, so we can get those marks.

so true batch units weren’t mentioned and i wasn’t able to calculate. Theory part in that Sec B was manageable!

Anybody who has given PM exam on 16th,was it same as 9th

I gave it on 16th but I'm not sure if it was same as on 9th. how was it for you?
