    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 recall

    The time never seems to be enough, my exam screen got stuck several times towards the end.

    I 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.

    I 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.

    Got 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.

    Quality 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!

    I 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!

    Got 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.

    I used PESTEL as the question was about external environment.

    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!!!)

    Yes, it made sense initially. But then I tripped myself over and thought this cannot be right
