The examiner should learn to speak English properly. The wording in a number of the questions was simply APPALLING and so confusing – and I am English. I don’t know how anyone who is not a native speaker could understand the gobblegook that this new examiner wrote. Shame on her!
Exams should be written in plain simple English so everyone can understand what is being asked – even us English!

guys i feel the paper was okay. the key is not to try and spot questions or follow predictions cause the disappointment of not finding what you expect alone will cost you marks.That being said, i am sick and tired of not being able to finish any exam. It is wearing me down.ACCA should be 4 hour exams especially with all the scenarios. More time = better quality

i thought it was hard, this was my second attempt, i got 48 in June and in my opinion this was a much trickier exam.
On first glance the question on internal controls in question 1 for 14 marks i thought looked okay but then actually finding 4 deficiences proved tricky. Oh well, lets hope for 50.
The question on value for money audits I put the 3’s economy, efficiency, effectiveness.
All in all a hard and very time pressured exam. Im pleased I am not the only one who found it difficult.

I revised all areas and it was not an easy paper, so to say it was…………….I DON’T THINK SO!!!
Of course if it was easy you will have got 100 marks, I very much doubt it.
December 8, 2010 at 4:47 pm #73499Guys how do you tackle the part of Audit risk?
My answer also included a Going Concern issues, compare the debt collection period and re-payable period for the both of receivable and payable, hence the cash is Nil and overdraft facilities granted, implied the cash flow difficulties.December 8, 2010 at 5:07 pm #73500F8 today…I’m in so much pain right now. Don’t know if I’ll ever recover.

I think paper F8 should be combined with other interesting paper the is very boring it makes no sense to me if any one from ACCA is reading consider this, I think I have to repeat this dull paper again and you will continue to get the lowest passing rate in F8

While sitting there doing the exam, feeling miserable, I thought for a moment…I wish they do a curve…oops!
Definitely unfair coverage of syllabus. I would say a lot trickier than any of the past papers. Don’t they want their pass rate to increase?!December 8, 2010 at 5:28 pm #73508AnonymousInactive- Topics: 7

WTF was Q3: F7 practical ratios question doing in F8. almost 90% of students didnt had a calculator with them.
December 8, 2010 at 5:50 pm #73512Eg. Strengths for the buying department, they enforce the purchasing requisite form, and research for the lowest of price = so called of VFM.
To improve it, I mentioned that the lowest price does not always mean a good in quality especially the nature and extent of the biz is running a hospital so the purchases must further detail study and listed out the authorize supplier then only purchase from them.
