Do we think these topics Bribery and Treasury Shares) may be in the June Exam, based on the fact that there is a Technical Article for Bribery and Treasury Shares are a new area?
Does anyone know if certain topics always come up and how much do we need to write in the exam – the Model answers seem very long!!!
Hi
I personally believe, and shall be “tipping” both topics of Bribery and Treasury Shares as likely candidates for inclusion within the June 2012 exam. And, incidentally, if either or both fail to appear in June, then the likelihood of an appearance in December increases dramatically. And will continue to increase as each 6 months goes by without them!
Re model answers – you’re absolutely correct. There’s no way you could write / copy the printed solutions within 15 minutes. Accept it. Now, having accepted that the models are unattainable, how much should you be writing? 10 paragraphs ( no more than 2 – 3 lines long, leave a line between paragraphs ) each containing ONE correct, valid, markable, relevant point. Not two! One point per paragarph, one paragraph per point.
You should be planning each question for 1.5 minutes during the initial 15 minutes and a further 5 minutes during the three hours. That 6.5 minutes should be enough for you to dream up sufficient points ( ideally 10 ) that you can then write down in the remaining 13 minutes for that question.
Remember, it is ESSENTIAL that you give each question its proper time allocation – no more than 18 minutes of the three hours should be spent on any single question. It doesn’t matter if you are the World’s leading expert on directors’ statutory responsibilities and you could write for 5 hours on the subject! The exam question is only 10 marks and should take no more ( and no less ) than 18 minutes 🙂
