PM*** December 2021 ACCA PM exam – Instant Poll and comments ***

Thanks - yes I'm the same - I'm fully expecting to fail the exam but I guess you never know. Even the Throughput Accounting Ratio question I struggled with as they were giving us available time in hours but then the time taken in minutes... oh well!

@ryanrclp18 yes that is the answer. 56.000

Jatb10 yes i reccomended that braker should continue to make in house both products as i got -4 for one and -3 for the the other. So no saving. And taking the cost of lease on the machines since they had to continue to pay for 10 years was better to produce in house.

Jatb10 yes i got the throughput question to. I just converted all the hours one into minutes. To be easier to calculate.

did anyone receive the survey from ACCA yet that asks you about the exam?

I also got the brakers question and recommended they keep making both discs and callipers in house and don’t outsource them. Also got the 3 E question which wasn’t too bad about the EHT hospital.

The thing about throughput questions or question like goden bank acoounts is that if you can use excel to calculate (Section C) it will be much easier for minutes/hour calculation, but once you have to calculate on calculator, it is very difficult as just one minor mistake, you take everything starting again, and if you note down on the scrap paper, it will take a lot of time for the 2 mark question. I think if we are not allowed to have an physicals scrap paper to note, ACCA need to think again the way they put the 2mark questons, it should be concentrated on the way the students undertand about the methodology/topic, rather than the complication of the numbers. I fully know the steps to do the throughput question, but It takes a lot of my time to convert back and fort and remember the long numbers.. and when I come very closed to the result, I found I missing one 0, then I started again. same for mixed variances, it should test the students on the steps to calculate (to proves that you understand the concept of variance) by giving the rounding numbers, not with very odd numbers as just with only the calculator, I doubt even the examiners can do all those complicated things within 5 minutes. The exam should be hard and require students to put their effort to study, but should not be tricky in terms of numbers itself, as it is for nothing and unfair. We need to raise this in our survey.

Can you please recall the question if you remember?

Which was the rest of the Sec B scenarios other than variance in the transfer pricing set

Does any one remember the answer for std weighted avarage cost per unit in variance sec B ?

I also had the same problem I had sbr and pm. For sbr I had the same technical issue

1.19 is what I got

I relate!

Anyone got TPAR in sec B

Anyone got TPAR 1.75

What was the answer for the lifecycle costing question - sec A ? In rolling budget set

F5 syllabus contains too many subjects, so can not easily cover it all in a 3 hours exam. I think the questions somehow balances well the difficulty level. However, there are still many core subjects that did not be tested, while some small topics were tested. Generally, F5 is surely harder than the others F.

Received

God bless and good luck for me, resit this exam tons of times even shame to tell how many……. Give me a miracle please!!!!!!

Anyone got transfer price question was for Sec C??

do you remember what kind of transfer pricing question was that ....??

Hi I had same question I think.. was it to do with flexed budget and mangers involvement in budgeting.

did anyone chose range check and scquence check in sec A part of it ,and also got the demand equation as 30-0.00025(q)

how did you got demand equation 30-0.25(q), it should be 30-0.00025(q) right

Yes first time attempting the PM exam and felt nothing like practice questions or past/mock papers. For section C i got Flexed Budget Table and Transfer pricing, was not that strightforward. Section B was a nightmare, I got optimal pricing, constraaints which I was under prepared for, I did not have many variance questions which was what I practiced heavily. I sadly suspect I will be resitting this in March, anyone else get similar questions?

It was my second attempt. B and C sections were very hard. I desire at least 50 %.
