Section A of MA exam main topics

IIlham7y ago
Hi, I'm done practising the exam kit and even though I've understood all the concepts and can solve most questions, there were some questions in the kit that seemed a bit advance. I was wondering which topics are mostly tested in Section A of the exam. I'm aware that section B tests budgeting, standard costing and performance management but I need to practice one more exam kit and I don't have enough time to practice all the questions. I found the work in progress questions the most difficult and was wondering how much of it can I expect in the exam.

Section A examines all topics in the syllabus. The questions are selected by the computer (so every exam has different questions), but it is programmed so as to have a mix of questions from the whole syllabus. No one area is deliberately examined more than any other areas.

Oh okay. If I need help on an exam kit question how do I post it here? Should I just refer to the question number and which kit I'm using or do I have to post the whole question here?

If it is from the current edition of the BPP Revision Kit, then just post the question number because I have the current BPP Kit. Otherwise you will have to type whatever it is that is causing you a problem. I assume that you have watched all of my free lectures? They are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

I've watched all the lectures yes. I solved a Kaplan exam kit and some of the answers to the questions weren't explained very well. I'll be solving the bpp kit soon so I'll refer to that if I face a problem. Thanks again.
