This is the third occassion that I have sat this exan . On the first occassion 42 and on the second 48. It was by far the worse of the three as all the questions were too long and required a lot of time to understand what was relevant and what was not.
I can understand the examiner wanting to make sure that we know the course work but I think this paper was a bit overboard.

i feel for you man. i hope you pass. i hope i pass too. dont wanna sit this paper again.
my attempt at question 2 was abysmal. i hope i get marks for the headings.

i would like to think i did ok with the theory parts but i maybe mistaken.

i finished with 30 mins remaining on the clock so i suspect i made a major mistake.

Dear sam:
I really appreciate your concern but if you have noticed I did not state that I performed poor.what I meant to say Is just that she could have give more of numeric so that rather than only passing students would have gained good marks.
And by d way what else serious trouble could chase us other than not passing F5 confidentaly with good marks even when you had put all efforts when preparing for exam.
best of luck yo u with ur F5 results.
Regards.

To be honesty it needed more studies than i did let us just accept that we did not do enough studies. I HOPE NEXT WE WILL MAKE IT.

I had attempted 85 marks paper.. Easy question was of mix of target costing, life cycle costing and Learning curve.. I did that at first place.. And by luck i was well known to balance score card. I am little bit confuse in budget.. My answer was in budget deficit value. decision tree was easy one. But I dont know how much examiner is serious about its proper format. I could not go through sales variances due to poor management of time. This paper was quite lengthy as compare to other past papers. Paper was so unpredictable.. Specially those students are suffered who had made selective study. Guys!!! ACCA study is no more selective, we have to cover each and every part of section with depth.. Wishing you all Best of luck and Me as well..

The paper was too hard to handle.i think th examiner ddnt think of hw much we pay.
Almost al Qs were had 2 apply 80 tricks in 1 Q.

well i just think about alternative approach
Instead of multplying everything with 3, only divided 360000 by 3
It is much shorter
Then i only not get the mark for not divide 360000 .
well hope that i will take me only 3 mark

hope that
In my exam at university, even u have a mistake at the beginning and it affects the resulf after thar, i ll def get a zero
In my last paper f7, i get a mistake to transfer wrongly a figure from fs to the working and it takes me 20 minutes to correct all the consenquent error.
It just break down my time management and i have only 25 minutes to do the ratio:(

i drew mu decision tree in pencil, would it be mark?

Honestly the paper was really easy. I am gonna score low because of my own mistakes.. i didn’t revise on examination day… kept sleeping :/ . i am gonna score full marks from Q5 and Q3. Messed up a little bit in decision tree, did half of Q2 and half of Q4. I can’t believe myself balance scorecard was so obvious and easy but i didn’t remember it at the time of exam 🙁

Really easy paper . Guess I have learnt my lesson the hard way. Read the question very well . Its better that way. I did knw how to go about every question. I should have slept enough. I just pray I don’t have to write a second time . Till august let’s all hope for the best.

It was a surprise package for me though i had planned well this time round.I jst hope to flee this battle
