I left out 20 marks in question 1! And 14 marks in question 3! Very upset, 🙁
No. I struggled too.. The girl in front of me said she completed just the first question. !!

Agreed totally!
I was really pushed for time and had to move on without completing a full question.
Not feeling hopeful at all – repeat!!!
Not enough time at all – in none of the practise papers have there been 3 pages of writing on a question – without any financial extracts – Q1 was way too bulky and so much you could write about just not enough time!
Paper was challenging not very tough but quite unexpected and of course the time pressure

I thought it was a fairly easy paper but the time pressure was horrible.
I managed to answer the whole paper, but at the cost of not going into enough detail and probably being far too vague.indeed the paper was easy but it was very bulky…..
time pressure….and I did the best of myself…..
Q1 was indeed very lengthy…………OH GOD HELP ME……hope to get 50 mks…

Anyone remember what is question 2 about?
Q1 was very demanding. I thought the first part of it was quite straightforward, but there was a lot going on in it and it took up more time than it should’ve.
Wasn’t entirely sure what the second part for 20 marks wanted from me, so I’ve lost a lot of marks there.
Q2 turned out to be harder than I thought and wish I’d gone for Q4 now.
Q3 was very straightforward and nothing at all was difficult about it… or so it seemed anyway, which kinda makes me wonder if I’ve completely missed something.
Still, it’s done now and can’t be undone. 100 marks available, I’ll be happy with just 50 of them.
Was awful, I went to pieces after reading 1 (b) I ended up in tears, I lost my nerve for the rest of the paper then. What the hell was it about. Not straight forward at all, and very very annoyed!!!!
This is the first time I rate any exam as disaster. Even though I had left some of them with worse feeling than today. I understand that examiner wants to examine also our time management and working under pressure but I think there are some limits to this.
I didn’t see this paper as ‘balanced’ although BPP hinted that examiner likes to test very narrow part of syllabus for great amount of marks.
After today I wonder if this is still a business analysis paper or rather F5 with longer and more complex scenarios.
This was my 2nd attempt and I really don’t see any reason to pass.
Agree to all as paper was too time consuming and i also did not completed all parts , specially Section A part b.
BTW guys, ACCA has sent an email with a survey regarding the exam. Please let them know the issue of time and the difficulty in finishing the exam. (they have asked in detail regarding this)
I agree!! I thought the first question was wayyy too long with the narrative that I took ages on just part 1a and missed out part b….
and this meant for the next two questions I had to skim read the scenarios and guess what it was all about otherwise I wouldn’t have had time to write anything down ..
they tell us we need to apply our knowledge to the scenario but when you’re time pressured this all goes out the window and you end up just writing down what knowledge management means like I did for one of the questions but didn’t link it to the scenario 🙁
