AAPaper F8 Dec 2010 exam was

Cheers guys... I think it was a standard set. Hope I'll clear it ;) Alhamdulillah :)

F8 this December requires a little effort to make the pass, Precondition and the status of IAS status question was not a question of theory but application of knowledge.

it didnt look like an audit paper to me.

the paper was very easy...it was all about internal audits

Def|n|t3ly f4il3d! bc0z us3d t00 much m4rs l4ngu4g3.

So what do you think?

Dear All: Please guide on a issue that i have completed my paper with Blue pen in answering the questions whereas the first sheet of the answer booklet I filled in with Black ball point. Is this mistake will have any impact on my marks or result.

i really enjoyed doing this paper....... :)

i completed my 5 questions 15 minutes before the ending time reason strict time management and heavy practice :P

The paper was long. Hope everything is ok!

the paper was like literature,too much of english and interpretations .I wish english was my first language.Applicability of the whole thing in my office work lost meaning

Some interesting comments indeed. I believe anyone who revised adequately should have been able to do about 90% confidently. Unfortunately, I cant say that for myself. I simply did not prepare well for this paper. I pray I pass However.
Let us keep our fingers crossed and wait for february. Most of us will be smiling.
Cheers!

the paper was okay. it was easy but very detailed as Audit papers always are. I love Audit. Its my favorite subject after Performance Management. The paper was okay. I studied very well and early for it but did not really study Substantive Procedures for specific areas. Audit is voluminous. Till the last day. That was bad. Learnt something though. The trick is to condition your mind to love the course and start intensive studying from the first day. Attempted all

Well, I didn't find f8 exam of this attempt unusual in any aspect. It was completely lykk what yew can expect a professional paper to be. Afterall ACCA is giving yew a great credibility in da market guys, so the difficulty level of its must be at this level. However, the paper was quite very easier then my expectations and what I was thinking about it before attempting the exam.
Simply I don't think it was an out of world thing for the person who was properly prepared for it.

wht was that i completely i lost in internal audit..... but it was not that bad after all no tuff stuff.... but after all the hard work and time managment i couldn't complete it... thats bad :(:(:(

i take f8 exam this setting,,,,,the question its hard especially in question 1 and 3...but i still answer all question.....hope i cn get 50 and pass this paper....i already put my 100 effort on this paper....god help me to pass this paper

Overall the paper was not too bad. Too many questions on internal audit. The questions did not cover a lot of areas. I expected sampling, subsequent events, corporate governance. Did not complete question 3, too much time was needed to carefully formulate the answer, so i skipped over this question and tackled questions 4 & 5

hye.....the question its hard for me,,many qestion u must think firs,,,not directly from note,,but i do all question,,,,im very hope to pass thisdec exam.....god help me...

unexpected paper....did not bring calclator lol wat ratios were we supposed to calculate? too many definitions i did not learn :S
anw gd luck to u all :)

the question are too much for 3hrs.
What a mess.

it was easier than dec 2009 i guess...lots of ic questions..

The whole exam was a debate,i tried to defend my motions but to no avail,hope to fail with dignity, atleast 48% or 49%
