    Long 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

    MCQ 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.

    Has 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?

    Found 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.

    Is 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 .

    You could have used a standard calculator in hand to save a bit of time.

    not 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.

    Section 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.

    I 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

    Mee!!! 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.

    I 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.

    The revision kit and practice exams made me think it would be good. My actual exam made me feel dumb as a sack of rocks.
