@at hassan man you can’t do anything about it now.Your average marks from f4-9 determine your class of degree. Best of luck with your future exams
@mhz99 ideally 16 slides are enough for a 15 minutes presentation. try and use bullets, make use of animations, dont use dull colors, slides shouldn’t be wordy,choose a suitable font , use graphs and charts for showing figures and explain them yourself while presenting rather than writing them in the slides. Try to summarize. Dont use confusing language. Go through all kinds of ppt you can find easily on internet

I paid a hefty amount to the Mentor equivalent to 135 pounds and got my work reviewed multiple times but still failed. This is the most depressing moment of my life. In fact another friend of mine, who was mentored by the same person, also failed due to number of slides.

I am sorry to hear about that. You can always ask for help here on the forum. Message any of the graduates who can help, you can gather a group of students in your locality and ask for their feedback, go through examiners feedback and study guide. I failed my sls last time, i had an A in my RR but because of extra slides i got my SLS failed and my mentor didnt tell me that my ppt was too long . so try and get your hands on all the help you can. I listened to the examiner and did exactly what he asked. you should do the same. You have a submission period coming in may. Dont get dishearted. Buck up and an nail the project next time. Six months aren’t going to be a big deal in the long run i think
March 27, 2013 at 7:26 pm #120880Congrats all! M working on my project. Can you guys tell how can we get an A on RAP? thanks

It’s lovely to see all these passes!!!! The marker made suggestions for me to show my use of IT within the RAP not only as appendices and like i said, i passed all other areas of the RAP. Is it practical for me to just fit in the IT part part and resubmit exactly the same RAP nearly word for word? (I will need to use updated financial statements but that will not change much). If i manouever my way around too much will i not compromise what has otherwise been a good effort? Please advise and thanks for a lovely forum, its very helpful.
March 28, 2013 at 6:38 am #120894Hi friends, congrats to those who have passed and prayers for those who failed to pass in next attempt. my question is how many out there who have failed in third attempt. I mean to ask do they pass all in third attempt or they even fail in third attempt?
bbMarch 28, 2013 at 7:45 am #120897@Rejoyce what you need to change:
1. insertion of graphs generated by excel into texts.
2. updated financial analysis and business analysis because when new annual reports are issued new facts and figures come to light that may requires to update information related to models application as well. so not big change required.
3. remaining you may submit as it is, because this is what mentioned by the marker, ” we suggest that same project is submitted with improvement………”. I have submitted twice and and failed but parts which once passed does not come under question even after quite changes (to reduce word count).
wish you all the best.

.March 28, 2013 at 7:59 am #120898more strict marking, first time seeing such failing reasons as:
1. too many slides in presentation
2. small font in presentation
3. IT not shown in text , only shown in appendices.
frightening disclosures. In the past have seen these things ignored.March 28, 2013 at 9:42 am #120902AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0

Hi,
I failed my RAP, but thinking of resubmission.
@Rick16 this was your second attempt: Did u strictly follow the marker’s comments?
I did Q8 and will stick to it, can I keep the analysis for the three years I chose that is 2009,2010 and 2011. I didnt do 2012 because the company’s year end is June. But now when resumbitting do I need to do 2010,2011 and 2012, or can I keep the years analysed the same as first submission?

Firstly, I would like to congratulate those that passed their project and to encourage those that did not pass. I wrote mine at first attempt and passed with a C with the help of a very good friend, which I am highly grateful for because it does not change my grade even if I had gotten an A. I worked on Topic 8. What I noticed and can say is that the school tends to mark strictly in order to maintain their standard and so they expect all projects to be properly written in line with instructions and marking scheme. Having said that what I believe is the most tricky aspect of the project is the Information gathering and referencing. To help with this , make sure you do a detail referencing of the project, including both a bibliography and referencing which you can combine as a reference at the end of the project. The difference is that bibliography includes all text books or other materials that you read whether or not you quoted them and reference is those that you actually read and quoted. It is a good thing that GOOGLE is there to help us. There are several online journals and articles that are free and very helpful in virtually any topic you choose to write on, also national news papers are also very nice to quote from for news on the company you chose. Using quite a number of relevant articles and journals shows that you read and studied widely for the project . And adhere strictly to Harvard referencing style. On IT, make sure you include graphs or charts in your report, this enhances your analysis. Those writing Topic 8, do not forget to use a comparator company or industry average in your analysis. For presentation, use bullet points and graphs or charts and use a standard font size, with caution on the number of slides. The slides shouldn’t be too much and the whole slides should be presentable within 20 to 30 minutes.
I hope this is helpful to those that intend to write at first attempt and those that are re-submitting. I wish everyone success!March 29, 2013 at 4:46 am #120946Well done to all those that passed their RAP and good luck to those who did not make it this time. I am doing topic 8, when preparing the consolidated financial statements in excel is it basically copying out the information and putting it in excel. As the consolidated financial statements are prepared already that is what I gather is that right?
March 29, 2013 at 9:41 am #121038I made a pass. thank God.
March 29, 2013 at 11:49 am #121043I failed both my RAP and SLS. I cried the whole day since i was so hard working. Even failed my acca exams. I also paid 400 pounds mentoring fee, but still failed. Total three sections failed. Can anyone help me? The marker comment: 3. Evaluation of information, analysis, and conclusions. Reasons for failure: The standard of your work is on the right lines to be successful, but you need to put right certain things to enjoy full success. the analysis would improve if you looked at something rather than just BreadTalk and its competitors annual reports. this is a good start, but you need to gain a full picture by gathering additional viewpoints on the performance of the two companies to further underline the analysis. your conclusion would also benefit from picking up your originally stated Project Objectives and saying whether they were fully or partially achieved.
6. Information gathering and referencing. Reasons:further information gathering would be useful in terms of having the different viewpoints on BreadTalk’s performance. You do use references ratios themselves, but you need reference as stated above to add weight to your analysis.
Could anyone help me to explain? Very very thank you!

March 29, 2013 at 10:41 pm #121088Hi I failed my rap topic 6, due to not having enough motivational theory I used herzbergs theory’s, anyone who passed topic 6, could u pls advise me on how many motivational theory’s did u use ?

Hi Miniclaire,
U cannot passed with only Herzberg’s theory because u need other related theories to interrogate your findings. It is suggested that u review as many theories as meaningful and limit your analysis to at least three of these theories.
In case u need more help u can reach me on id_dami@yahoo.com.
Cheers.

Good day all. I intend submitting my project this session but honestly am clueless as to how to go about it. I’ve been procrastinating commencing the process because I really don’t know what to do or how to start. I will appreciate a guideline that I could adhere to pls.
The topic that comes to mind as doable is that of performance mgt and decision making. I don’t know if that is a good topic and if I can find enough material/build up on that. I will appreciate as much help as possible
Thanks
