    Did anyone else find the paper difficult? It’s seems so much different than the specimen paper for December 2014 on the ACCA website.

    It was okay. Don’t think i did too well on the balance scorecard question.

    Does anyone know when the open tuition puts up the answers to the paper?

    Hai Yen, my answers came out higher so I probably got it wrong. Balance score card question threw me, but I just wrote as much as I could to define sensible goals and performance measures relating to the scenario. Hopefully markers are generous!

    I did not do well balanced scorecard. I just remember 4 perspectives. And then I based on scenario to write the goal. May be I get some marks in this question.

    I remember my mix and yield being close to the answers given in te second part of te question…which gave me a little hope. The multiple choice questions I just took guesses at.

    I found the mix and the yield question very straightforward. Where there any “tricks” that I might missed?
