Few topics covered in SBL exam:
1. Risk and risk mitigation
2. External environment and impact on organization
3. Cost control and it’s importance
4. Benefits and challenges of segregation of audit and risk committee
5. Integrated reporting
6. Customer service improvement
7. Responsibility of coo in project management
8. Not able to recallThe time never seems to be enough, my exam screen got stuck several times towards the end.
September 6, 2022 at 5:28 pm #6654107) Roles of project sponsor and process strategy matrix to improve customer service process ??
Was it me or there was no SAF question? I was quite surprised bc of that
September 6, 2022 at 5:38 pm #665414I did my SBL exam in an exam centre. Exam was slow and typed words lagged. When I clicked “next” and then clicked “review” my answer in the word processor disappeared (but answer in slides were still there). Did this happen to anyone else? Also got a “character limit reached” message.
September 6, 2022 at 6:25 pm #665425I left the last question on project management as was the head scratcher out of all of them and instead directed my efforts towards adding to earlier answers, expanding on points and triple-checking format.
I did the same in my mock. Was only 16 marks lost and I’d rather get good marks on 84% of the paper than risk losing time on what I could do well.
The paper seemed fair but there was no real analysis of figures or performance. A lot was risk based.
September 6, 2022 at 6:37 pm #665427Same, i was expecting some kind of financial analysis if not a full-fledged SAF question
September 6, 2022 at 7:20 pm #665430Got the Quality Homes case study, and while I only marked it as hard (because it wasn’t a disaster), I hated it. I did not like the scenario, nor what they asked me to do other than the final question on the website which I know answered well.
September 6, 2022 at 7:26 pm #665433Quality Homes was disappointing, no SAF which I was hoping for as its easy marks! Think I did OK though. Fingers crossed this is my last exam!
September 6, 2022 at 7:29 pm #665434I had the QH case study. Didn’t have a clue what they were asking me to do! Question 1 I kinda used Porters 5 Forces but half heartedly. Definitely didn’t do my best… Argh! It was my last exam too!
September 6, 2022 at 7:38 pm #665435Got QH case study as well. I was surprised that they asked for strategy/process matrix, as I thought we will never be asked for a specific model?? I thought it was weird exam with many key areas of this exam missing.

Tough exam I thought, QH case.
First question about evaluation, anyone put anything sensible? Because I, did not.
September 6, 2022 at 7:45 pm #665437I used PESTEL as the question was about external environment.
September 6, 2022 at 7:46 pm #665438I got QH too…..I ran out of time for last 2 tasks….i.e. 4 questions
What was first question exactly….I have forgotten… I only remember I picked points from their swot analysis for that I think.

So did I. I felt like a right idiot about 1.5 hours in and had gone too far to change track. Thank you for the reassurance (at least I wasn’t the only one!!!)
September 6, 2022 at 7:50 pm #665442I think they ask too many questions for 4 hours.
September 6, 2022 at 7:54 pm #665443Tomdavey….did you use PESTEL?
September 6, 2022 at 7:54 pm #665444evaluate the core competencies and resources that give QH a a competitive advantage
September 6, 2022 at 7:55 pm #665445what the heck PESTEL??? to which question you apply that I dont think there was need of PESTEL in the exam
September 6, 2022 at 7:57 pm #665446Just realised…. I knew I was their Sr FM but throughout I kept talking to them like they were a third party …… Hahaha I am not even bothered anymore
September 6, 2022 at 7:58 pm #665447Porter 5 Forces??? I dont thibk so

Yes, it made sense initially. But then I tripped myself over and thought this cannot be right
September 6, 2022 at 7:59 pm #665449I think I kind of agree with you in several points
