I’ve recently done my f3 cbe, and strangely when I was answering my questions, only few questions was given the options underneath. I would say probably about 8 or nine questions! These were the questions that were theoretical. The rest of the questions were to do with counting and getting the correct figures.
Has anyone experienced this before where more than 70percent of paper have no multiple choice. I personally felt it’s unfair on student or this is totally acceptable with Acca?
I’ve also noticed with the books I am studying from,wrong answers and in couple of occasions answer only explained up to the half way so it was easy to think the book’s been misprinted again. I thought these things are checked over and over before it gets to us
Please answer
RegardsThe questions in the CBE exam are selected at random from a large number that they have available. Maybe you were unlucky to get so many asking you to type in the answers, but it is perfectly acceptable of the ACCA.
With regard to errors in your books, I trust you do not mean errors in our test questions – we continually check and correct if errors are found. If you are using books from one of the approved publishers, then again there should be no (or very few errors). If you fell that there are two many then you should complain to the publishers.
If the answers are not well enough explained for you, then ask on the ‘Ask the Tutor’ forum and I will try and help.Thank you for your reply. I am studying from home,I bought the text and exam kit, so I did not get back to them. The sad part is that ,the errors are on group company accounts and on dividend workings which is quite tough to learn at first glance.
I only started using open tuition since July although I’ve been a member for a while.
OTC is great! I only learnt my control accounts and suspense account after using an open tuition.
Greatful to Open Tuition and really kind of you to answer these questions.
Regards
I think I know which books you are talking about! The Exam Kit did contain dreadful errors in the Group Accounts section. However they did issue a correction sheet – the thing to do is to keep an eye on their website which is where they publish any correction sheets.
(They have now corrected the errors in the latest edition of the book, but I appreciate that that is no good for you.)
