Dear All,
I did not attempt last APM intake but I was surprised to see the removal of choice question from Section-B in APM Exam.
Can anyone comment on the reason of this change? as this has an impact on flexibility of student taking this exam.
Waiting for your early reply!
Thanks
NusratThis has been changed for all of the advanced option papers.The rationale behind it is that ACCA expects candidates to be able to comprehend and apply knowledge and skills of all the syllabus of each of these papers.This change has caused controversy.
A couple of reasons:
– It means less time wasted in the exam reading through the 3 questions and deciding which 2 you want to do
– At the Professional level you should have a thorough knowledge of the whole syllabus, not just parts. Giving a question choice means students can skip certain areas of the syllabus hoping that it will only be in one of the optional questions. If all questions are mandatory you must study everything as you have to answer whatever is put in front of you.
