I thought question 3 was the hardest part by miles. Q1 was good to look at the receivable day payables profit per employee etc. Q2 just compare the different model which thought was fine.
My exam crashed the last 15 mins anybody have that issue?

Q3 the risk management one?
Didnt like that questionMy exam froze in the last 15 mins too, the 15 min pop came in and that was it, I couldn’t close it to continue.
Dont worry guys, im sure you 3 have dine well and will pass!
Ive not sat it remotely, but think might give it a try next time
If you dont mind could you tell me how it works
Did you start at 10am UK time exact and end 4 hours later? How do they invidulate you?
And does anyone remember all the questions in todays exam?
At least you can relax till the results come out 🙂 when do they release this?
My exam froze with 15 minutes to go too! Very frustrating.
Also, the invigilator asked me why I was looking down when I was just working a sum on my calculator. I was very annoyed he’d ask such a thing. Did anyone else get asked anything like this?
Mine also froze when the 15min warning came up – nothing worked to close it but luckily I pressed the escape button and it finally closed
I was also asked not to use a scientific calculator… didn’t realise that was a thing? Have used the same calculator for every ACCA exam to date plus I’m due to sit the AFM paper on Friday, which I’ll definitely need a scientific calculator for :’)
In terms of the exam, I have a feeling like it was a good exam to sit. Although Q3 coming up with suggestions to improve efficiency of a production process I found difficult, coming from a job in practice… struggled for any ideas!
I could not tell you if I passed or failed, I managed to attempt all the questions I just feel for the first two questions I spent too much time trying to get those 30 marks lets hope I get at least 20.
Good luck to you all.

Fair paper but i just struggled with ideas and feel my points were too general. At least i attempted all questions so hoping to scrape a pass but you never know with ACCA..
I think exam was fair enough. Found it difficult to write about sales and marketing strategy so just wrote about knowing your customers, performing market segmentation, doing targeted marketing, using e-marketing and social media, creating brand image around environmentally sustainable products.
Question about explaining why trainee accountant was allowed to post without approval and provision caught me off guard, all common sense answers.
Organisational structure i think i messed up, suggested flat without even knowing what it is 🙂
Thank god there was no <IR> or ICO or Cyber Security…
fingers crossed!Exam itself was not too hard, however I ran out of time. Agree that Q3 was the hardest so left till the end, but didn’t have time to answer it! 🙂
You have to test your system before you start the exam. Check the spec of your computer to make sure it works! You can check this on the My ACCA/ ACCA homepage. Make sure all other applications have been shut down. The invigilator can see you on the webcam. It starts promptly as the time you choose. There are different variants. You take 4 pictures of the room.

Examiner told me to stop leaning on my hand as he could not see my mouth!
Does anyone remember the questions for the morning paper? I am now pretty sure I missed one completely!

I had this message as well and it crashed as I could not close so I asked for help as I could not close window. The exam invigilator said to press ESC and it then worked for me! At least you all know what to do if it happens again :). They should tell students this though!
I had review the performance via 1) financial statements, 1a) analyse the market penetration/diversification, 2) Risk register, 3)manufacturing process improvements, 3b)internal controls for that process, 4)outsourcing slides and finally 5) press release

I think I had the same questions. However I think Q3 was the risk management question not Q2

I had this.
What did you write for the risk register question ?
