*** ACCA TX (F6) June 2018 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments ***

Multiple choice questions werent that kind but the written questions were inline with past papers, it could have been worse.:)

It was definitely hard.
7-8 difficult marks in both Section B & Section C.
Section A was terrible. Half of the MCQs were similar to past papers but other half were out of nowhere.
I had no idea about MCQs regarding PAYE and sources of tax law.
Overall, it was hard.

I’ve passed other F level papers at first attempt including P4 and P2 but here I am still struggling with F6 because I hate memorizing things!!!!!

0ver 8-10 mcqs or more were dedicated to your ability to recall pure facts and dates!! i think I have failed again after failing in March at 49%. Someone please gimme pointers.. section B question on IHT was painfully difficult as I was confused if the available exemptions would be considered or not. ACCA has a way of structuring the passages to the question.. they didn’t this time.. putting a crucial fact at the bottom that might have been missed when answering the top questions.

Section C question on partnership with losses seemed okay.. But I struggled with the corp. tax. Fingers crossed till July

Can we work on some sort of unofficial markscheme?

Was there a 10 mark question on National insurance contributions? When my exam finished I looked around and saw someone doing (question 36) which seemed to be a 10 mark NIC question that I cant remember doing at all. I don’t understand how this could have happened as the review said all questions were completed:/ Gutted because I’m quite confident and am sure I could have got most or all of the marks on that question.

Could this be a technical error?

CBE questions are never the same. Thus, ur neighbour might get completely different set of questions than to u.

Does anyone have answers for mcqs
Paper based?
Pls send if you have

Hi everyone

I have mix feelings about F6. In section C one of the question was to calculate NIC if we add bonus as dividends and something else- i have no clue how to tackle it? If was for 10 points if someone knows please share.
Also how is that possible that you guys remember youd MCQ questions and answers?! I roughly remember the questions not mentioning if I choose A B or C!

Is it possible to pass running out of time for both 15 mark questions on section C?

The mcq’s were really kind but I kept triple checking answers I’m sure were right.

Section B was also fine except the vat section, will have dropped marks there.

But I left myself 1 hour 20 mins for sections C and used up 50 mins on the 10 mark question then both 15 mark questions were rushed and messed up. Doubt I scored a single mark there.

Same here… I started with section C and the first question was to recalculate revised income with dividende..it took me very long to understund so i spend less time on the other 2 questions….I feel not sure about the loss corporation question . The mcq were ok if u soend good time on studying it will be good…finger crossed im worried

hi guys i found sec A and B relatively easy and im sure i can bring at least 40% from there but i struggled a bit with sec C. It took me some time to figure out how to work out the 10 mark ques and i was left with 30 mins to work out the last two 15 mark questions. Although i have started the corp tax ques, i could not finish it as time was over. I can barely get 5 marks from this ques. My question is can acca fail me if i score only 15% out of the 40% in sec C and i score 40 % out of 60% from mcqs?? Please answer

What did people put on the q asking if the person was resident or not resident in uk in section c, I spent way too much time for the 3 marks he had on it, I changed to not resident at last min as only had 3 ties but now think I was wrong.

you’ll pass if you score 50 marks and more, no matter the section

i said he is not a resident, because 2 ties and 100 days (according to the table he needs 3, if hasn’t been resident before and has been in uk for 91-120 days stay) but that might as well be wrong as i literally spent 4 min answering this…..
at first i skipped this part but i had 9 min to spare when i finished with the rest of that question so i decided to give it a go anyway, then spent the other 5 minutes to random choose 3 or 4 answers in MSQs as i didn’t have a clue… let’s hope those were the seeded Qs;-)))
overall it was ok paper.. i have had three so far and this one seemed less difficult…. let’s hope for the best
