    i had a tech issue but was resolved, proctor said he could not see me, then i relaunched and he could then see me, otherwise paper seemed ok i did not attempt Q2 which was on costing something like that, Q3 was on Data silos and Balance Scorecard, and Q1 was on interpretation of performance report, and some probability with standard deviation
    i could not figure out the BSC question it was a bit confusing to me
    i have no idea what to expect

    For the brand loyalty question it mentioned that the company have equal share of market and then it said in survey. There were 3 surveys which made up the 100%. So what I did is took say 225 total market share and say 50% of this population who were surveyed and like the brand was 50% I would half it twice for example so 225 totals market share divide by 2 and 2 again so additional 56.25 and revised forecast this way

    Too many technical interruptions in the test centre, could not focus, probably failed. Invigilators added the loss time to remaining but after the 4th interruption I basically gave up. Issued a mitigating circumstance and hoping this will be somehow fixed.

    As I can remember below was the mark allotment per subject:

    1- Professional Marks (10 marks)
    i) Performance report (10 marks)
    ii) What gets measured gets done (14 marks)
    iii) Brand Loyalty & Forecast & Std Deviation (16 marks)

    2- Professional Marks (5 marks)
    i)Data Silos (8 marks) – big fail
    ii)Balanced ScoreCard (12 marks)

    3- Professional Marks (5 marks)
    i)Target Costing (8 marks)
    ii)Cost of Quality (12 marks)

    Crap, I took it that 225 was equal share and that there was 5 companies in total so I multiplied the 225 by 5 and worked off this figure

    I left the brand loyalty until last and then came back quickly in the last 10 mins and just randomly calculated EV using the probabilities.?
