In your Dec 2013 predictions for the F5 exam, you have stated “budgeting – written question”. What specifically will be tested in budgeting. Will it be zero based budgeting, behavioral implications of budgeting, objectives of budgeting, etc.. ?
What’s the area?
And for the first question you have predicted target costing and activity based costing. So are these two topics going to be examined jointly, and if not, which one has a higher probability of coming?
I will just read what you have predicted and will not focus on the whole syllabus. Thanks for making my revision much simpler!
Oh my! I am not a tutor, I don’t claim knowledge, but I can tell you that reading only the topics predicted for the exam and not focusing on the whole syllabus is hardly gonna score you a pass! I think it is very risky to do such thing, they can predict but they cannot guarantee you the predictions! Say 2 questions’ topic out of the 5 predictions were incorrect, then you have lost yourself 40 marks in the exam, and now you can afford losing only more 10 marks otherwise you are failed! Do you think it would be easy to score 50 marks out of 60, it is really unlikely with all the exam tricks and time pressure.I am just saying, it is only a scenario that could happen! More or less predictions could be incorrect but the point is that you are decreasing your chances for passing this way! It is only an advice!
Good luck!

Mahoysam is absolutely correct.
Our predictions are only intelligent guesses and it will be a miracle if they are completely right!!
As for budgeting – even if I am correct and there is a budgeting question, it will likely be split into several parts and examine several different written areas. It is impossible to guess which.
Activity based costing and target costing have never been asked together before, but it would make a good question.
However, again, they are only guesses and you dare not go into the F5 exam without having studied the whole syllabus properly.
