what was the main focus on this exam?
September 8, 2020 at 1:03 pm #584083Long questions were really easy but mcq’s were extra challenging and time time consuming and with the lack of rough paper in remote paper , i did 2 long income tax and corporation tax questions which were piece of cake but then went to mcq’s and i am 100% sure that i only did 6 or 5 mcqs correctly , everything else was a pure disaster , it was like my mind went blank doing mcqs and objectives were really confusing and challenging
September 8, 2020 at 1:17 pm #584088MCQ in the paper was hard…and long questions were doable but not easy. Paper tested on dates ,fines and penality and in few question the calculation of benefits were tricky.
September 8, 2020 at 2:02 pm #584101The Exam Was a Piece of Cake,Hope to pass when the outcome is out,Aced The Paper.
September 8, 2020 at 2:10 pm #584103what topics came up?
September 8, 2020 at 2:20 pm #584109Literally everything examiner could think of and lot of admin bits questions here and there
September 8, 2020 at 2:22 pm #584112yup the mcqs were really hard , honestly some of them were outright confusing and more challenging then the Kaplan exam kit
September 8, 2020 at 3:29 pm #584127Has anyone taken the CBE exam in Dubai? Are they allowing usage of scrap paper for workings? I’m really not comfortable using the scratchpad on the CBE platform and heard that due to the current COVID situation, using of scrap paper for workings won’t be allowed?
September 8, 2020 at 3:49 pm #584132Found the MCQ’s relatively straightforwards, but really struggled on the long questions. Would be surprised if I got 2 or 3 marks on the last 15 mark question unfortunately.
September 8, 2020 at 4:57 pm #584155For me long questions were really easy but mcqs were hard asf , makes me wonder maybe all of us get different exam papers ?
September 8, 2020 at 5:15 pm #584163Is there anyone who used scientific calculator? Using that embedded calculator in software was biggest hurdle.
In my paper, MCQS were easy .Section B was quite tough as there were alot of questions on tax savings and you can imagine how hard it gets when solve this type of questions without paper and calculator in hand in just one mcq . Long were also easy but ran out of time because of spending too much time on section B .September 8, 2020 at 5:21 pm #584166Yes, people get different papers.

You could have used a standard calculator in hand to save a bit of time.
September 8, 2020 at 6:40 pm #584188i think it depends on the time we chose , i chose morning time
September 8, 2020 at 6:42 pm #584190not to mention the scratch pad covers most of the screen and u can’t adjust its size , so switching back and forth becomes really tedious , these online paper system is really crap , i miss those manual paper days when everyone had same papers and past papers were easily accessible.
September 8, 2020 at 7:32 pm #584204if ur giving exam sitting at home then no scrap paper is allowed however in examination center scrap paper is allowed
September 8, 2020 at 7:36 pm #584206Section C for me consisted of employment income computation with taxable benefits and corp tax adjusted profits, couldn’t have asked for a better section C.
Section A was tricky but other than that it was an ok exam.
September 8, 2020 at 8:20 pm #584212I found it quite easy compared to the BPP mock exams … there were no resale of assets to compute in for capital allowance, only one question about deadlines, no rollover relief, no leasing premium or gift relief
September 8, 2020 at 8:40 pm #584218Mee!!! Me! I have all of them:
Rollover, leasing premium, gift relief and resale of assets.I personally found it extremely unfair not to be able to choose a paper version. So disappointed with the kinda “Excel” sheet on CBE. It is such a shame that ACCA is such a rich organisation and it saves our money on skilled IT experts to improve the system.
September 9, 2020 at 12:06 am #584255I think some persons may have gotten different versions\ papers for this exam. I want to know how the Caribbean students feel. For me, It was not difficult just differently styled from the revision kit and quite unexpected.
September 9, 2020 at 1:14 am #584259The revision kit and practice exams made me think it would be good. My actual exam made me feel dumb as a sack of rocks.
September 9, 2020 at 4:49 pm #584415The alamak sdn bhd question got me alamak
September 10, 2020 at 6:19 am #584581I got An Easy Section A and Section C,I got questions on Employment Income,TTP,Corporation Tax and Income Tax Computation in Section C,Very sweet paper.I Also got NICs and some taxable benefits in section A,Section B Was A little tricky amd hard but will get some marks oit of it to get over the line.
September 11, 2020 at 6:08 pm #585148It was not difficult but i hate the interface with excel for section c,it was the worse. Return that section to written.
