    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?

    the penalty means what is the maximum mark I can get out of 20 ….

    isn’t it works like penalty since din’t follow to instructions?

    of course there is no negative marking

    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..

    LOl, 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
