    Omg!I know the feeling. I work part time and study part time and its soooooooo much. I think law is a huge area and students should be allowed more than just three hours. Is there any where I can post this suggestion for the examiner to see? Can anyone verify that f4 will be multiple choice paper in 2014?

    Bella – whoever said that the law paper (or indeed any other paper) was going to be easy?

    It’s going to be 70% multiple choice questions (20 x 1 mark and 25 x 2 marks) and 5 more questions worth 6 marks each seeming to be sub-divided into 3 x 2 marks or 1 x 2 marks + 1 x 4 marks

    For those students for whom English is not their first language, I imagine that this will be a n easier paper than at present

    Hi Mike,
    Have the ACCA confirmed that the CBE will be in place from September 2014?

    I have searched the ACCA website but cannot see where this has been confirmed?

    Thanks

    I seem to keep reading it on differing sources. Put it this way – I’m gearing up to preparing hundreds of F4 multiple choice questions for both the English and the Global variants.

    I actually have in front of me as I write a “Specimen Exam applicable from December 2014, F4 Corporate and Business Law (English)”

    Yes, you can do 6, 7 and 9 this year and then take on F4 with 1, 2 or 3 P level papers (if you pass those three Fs this year) Remember though that F4 exam is on the same day as P3

    Hi Mike.
    For the F4 CBE are they going to allow it to be sat at various dates, the same as F1-F3 or will it be staying as 6 monthly?

    The F4 examination will undergo significant changes in the coming year, with a new format for the written papers, for both English and Global and all variant papers, applicable from December 2014 and the introduction of computer based examinations for both English and Global from the end of that year.

    Bothe the above comments are copied from the ACCA website 🙂

    From December 2014:
    The syllabus is assessed by a two-hour paper-based
    examination, and is also offered as a computerbased
    examination.
    The examination consists of:
    Section A
    – 25 x 2 mark objective test questions 50%
    – 20 x 1 mark objective questions 20%
    Section B
    – 5 x 6 mark multi-task questions 30%
    100%
    All questions are compulsory.

    Why not concentrate on just F6 and F7 in June? It will take away some of your stress and leave you with F4 and F9 for later in the year

    Has it been confirmed when we will be able to sit F4 as a CBE as yet?

    Also when will publishers like BPP and Kaplan have study guides for the new F4 syllabus? Currently they only go up until June 2014 but you would have thought with that exam period almost here they would be ready to go with the Dec 14 syllabus for people who want to get going with it immediately after the June sitting like myself?

    Its important to remember that when F4 does become computer based it will no longer be valid certification of English Proficieny (which is a requirement for the Oxford Brooks Degree.

    Riduculous.. MCQ … ACCA should be quality and this will destroy ACCA. The institution is either stupid and ruining a very good professional body. Students do you not want a high quality, thorugh examintion to prepare you for the real world not driving test to make you pass.

    All

    I approached an exam centre a couple of days ago with a view to booking the CBE for the F4 paper from September. I was advised that ACCA have now delayed the CBE roll-out until November and was advised to aim for a Jan/Feb 15 CBE date to avoid teething problems etc.

    It was my intention to do F4 & F5 this december but i have now revised this to F5 only in December with a view to obtaining learning materials early December and aiming to sit in Feb 15. This would then enable this paper to be out of the way (assuming success!) in time to focus on the next papers for the June 15 sittings etc.
