    I have no clue what to think. Section A seemed ok, section B had pricing which I think I did really bad on and variances which I seemed to be getting the same answers that were provided. section C part a had the balance scorecard and the 3 E’s which I didn’t really complete and made up as I didn’t study this in detail. Section c part b I also got relevant costing which I think I flopped as well. I hope I pass with at least 50% this is a retake and I honestly felt like all the major parts of the syllabus were hardly tested it was more of the parts that I skimmed over. ARGHHHH!

    Found the exam quite difficult, especially section B! Also felt like I had to guess a few answers in section A.
    Section C I had balanced score card and some calculations, and the other question was rolling budgets and beyond budgeting.
    All my past papers went quite well so feeling a bit deflated after this exam.

    Is it January we get our results?

    That mock exam they released for this month was pointless, literally nothing came up or similar to what was on there, got the 3 EEs I’m good at writing so feel confident about that, then 2nd question for section c I can’t really remember, only got 1 variance question for section b, elasticity came up clueless about that.

    Gonna be a close one

    I don’t think the exam was THAT hard …… However, I totally messed me up.
    section A was Ok, some what it was on various topics, section B I got target costing, throughput accounting which i didn’t revise at all, and mix and yield variances.
    section C was rolling budget with a question about the beyond budget, and balanced score card.

    It was very hard, and to be frankly honest it was pointless to release pre December mock exam.
    The amount information in ever question was overwhelming.
    Section A was ok but section B was the hardest from the rest.
    Not pleased with exam and not motivated to retake it for a quit good while.
    It is so frustrating that all hard work is gone down to drain.

    I honestly don’t know what to feel after this. Not a lot tested on the major topics. My performance was not okay, I have done other papers and never felt this way.

    There’s 4 past papers on the ACCA platform for PM, Paper 1, 2, Specimen paper and Dec 21 Mock. Out of all 4 papers only like 5% came up in this exam.

    Should I be doing the past paper exams from somewhere else if it’s this pointless?

    Exam was hard for me…will be surprised if I pass. Section A was average, section B was hard af, spent ages trying to figure out the price elstacity and throughput questions which I probably got wrong in the end. Then only finished half of section C, had 3 Es and make or buy decisions 🙁
