These are the sections made in BBP text book
Section A: Role and responsibility toward stakeholders.
B Economic Environment for multinationals.
C Advanced Investment Appraisal.
D Acquisition and Merger.
E Corporate reconstruction.
F Advanced Risk Management
G Emerging issues.I have done all the questions(25marks) of almost all sections, except first 2 and last one,the problem which i am facing is that i dont know how to deal with these section(A,B,G).
I mean to say that If i read the book there is too much theory given and even after doing that we cant attempt the question because there are only 3..4 past exam questions given for a section, plus from these area i have seen each question which is tested in exam is quit different.
Can you please tell me how to cover this ares of P4?May 8, 2016 at 2:54 pm #314121I would not over worry about A, B and G.
A and B are unlikely to be whole questions, but more likely to be just a fairly small part of a question (albeit a written part).
G is being removed from the syllabus – the examiner has decided that the relevant areas are already dealt with in the rest of the syllabus.Otherwise, all you can do is (I am afraid) keep reading!
Better than the Study Text is to read the examiners answers to the relevant parts of questions from December 2010 onwards (before then it was a different examiner).
May 10, 2016 at 7:42 pm #314485Sir can you give an idea how p4 exam will set, i mean to say what will be the flow of paper, for example 50 marks question will normally test topic p,q,r. Section B will contain 3 question on for example topic x,y,z.
I am NOT asking you to make a guess what i want to know is that normally, usually how 100 marks are split in topics? How much weight age is given to each section(which i mentioned above)?
Which topics are usually test in Section B question 2,3,4?
Hope my query is clear.May 11, 2016 at 6:57 am #314533All sections can be asked everywhere!
Best is to look at recent past papers and see for yourself the style of the questions and the topics asked.
