how severe will I be penalised if I just use SWOT to analyse 1a) ?PLEASE!! like the comment above tells, try to understand that what the examiner means is for you to “APPLY” your knowledge . It totally based on your choice as long as its valid and relevant!
I cant believe you passed all these papers and at p3 ur thinking PENALIZE. Geez! theres NO negative marking AT ALL in the whole of ACCA at any paper / examination level!! WOW you must have had quite a hard time expecting passes then 🙂 haha .regardless of whether it is the correct model to be used or not
the examiner asked for frameworkS or modelS

I am hoping for a pass, answered all questions sensibly enough but perhaps lacking in detail. I studied hard, so I know that I will not be letting myself down in that regard and if I need a resit its not through lack of effort.
You sir, just did a synopsis of my feelings after the paper.

OMG!! who are these ppl examiner hates SWOT say no to SWOT..it is a framework which was enough alone to answer 1a although it was expected from the candidates to use a combination of a few models giving equal weight to both internal(SW) and external environment(OT)
Anyways guys what the hell was 1b all about although any sane person will go with SAF and so i was no exception i couldn’t really understood what exactly was required.did it asked about the proposed strategy to be used to acquire SOFR which was a forward integration for GEt and then to use it for franchising after the acquisition?December 14, 2011 at 2:43 am #91842AnonymousInactive- Topics: 1

The Exam Quesiton is too long but Easy and Straightforward, not let the student have sufficient time to answer in short period , i think it is difficult than Diet June 2011 and Dec 2010.
Only 25 Min to answer Q3. I hope i could pass , I study hard and already prepare over 3 Months. I already fail in diet June 2010 , dont want fail again. it is my last paper! the chance to pass i think 50% vs 50%
Overall , This Exam Question is too long , little discrimination to those who both read and write slowly , the force should be emphasied on student ‘s analysis competence, rather than Exam Machine

Also , i miss franchise portion , due to time is too rush, i just answer the franchisee could spread portion of risk , but the management no oversea franchise experience, and system need to modified to intergrate the relationship Franchor and Franchiee and control , and franchiee could bear some significant investment outlay when get with high gearing ratio

3 hours is a very very irrelevant with this kinds of questions! the case was very long… agreed with syed faizan.. it should have been a 5 hour paper… i felt like only a few minutes spent in the exam hall…. hopefully we all can pass… insya Allah..
December 20, 2011 at 2:21 pm #91847LOl, it’s Okay, but time pressure is a big problem, I left 12 marks without answer, however for Q1 A I used “M” Model to analyse the Internal & Porter 5 Forces For External, the others are same of majority’s base
