Hi,
i’m sitting F8 & F9 next week and after receiving an email from student hub from the ACCA which had a small section on FAQ’s the CBE’s I read that they are including 10 “seeded” questions for the purpose of quality control and fairness. Also says these will either be amongst the MCQ’s or one of the questions in Section B. So, they’re giving us 3 hours 20 mins and we’ve to answer all questions, including these extra questions which don’t even carry any marks.
So, if they’re part of Section A, does this mean there’s going to be not 15 MCq’s but potentially another 5 or 10, depending on how many marks they’ve giving and if they form part of Section B, does this mean instead of 3 questions there could potentially be 4 questions?
Could you shed some light on it and explain it a bit more? I really think the ACCA should have made this a lot clearer in any of their corespondance and funnily enough none of the lecturers I had this year even mentioned these seeded questions.Thanks a lot
Erin.You’ll get what you get, as will everyone else and you won’t know which questions are real and which are seeded.
The reason for seeded questions is that it gives the ACCA an opportunity to test out questions and to collect statistics on how good and fair the questions are before they are used in earnest. This is good psychometric practice and is widely adopted by all sorts of examination bodies that use objective test questions.
