Agree the variances were very unexpected compared to the general expectation of what kind of things you would see going in to the exam.
I don’t think it is as black and white as pass/fail when it comes to different variants of papers.
I think there has to be some form of analysis as to whether people performed better/worse dependent on the paper they received on the day and then potentially award marks to the people who had the more difficult variant.
Wouldn’t really be fair to give 50% of people a more difficult paper than the other 50% but mark in the same manner.
Most students wouldn’t of expected both variance analysis and joint ventures to be questions.
The hardest part when preparing for the exam is to try and decipher what the questions requirements are, rather than actually learning the syllabus properly and adding value to students skill sets like with the other subjects.
This is the least useful and redundant paper by some distance, and it seems like it is deliberately too difficult for most people to pass first time and to keep them paying exam fees.
