Hi John,
I did my exam today and passed. Got 71%. Thank you very much for all your help and time!
About the exam I though the questions were straight forward, not going around to confuse you. On section B there was a full question on Time Series Analysis which I had no idea how to answer. I needed to guess the full question. It was giving the sales units for each quarter of the year and asked the trend sales units in specific quarter, some like this. The other question was in budgeting and standard costing and the 3rd on performance measures, which I think I did well. No questions to use NPV. Within the 2 hours, i had time to review only about 7 questions! Whew!
Towards the F3 now! Thank you again!
By the way John, is that not weird they having a full question about Time Series in section B being that they specify the subject for this part? Last 2 weeks I really concentrate my study on section B and was a bit angry when I saw that 😉
Congratulations, Barbara – that is great news (and 71% is an excellent mark) 🙂
Although I am a bit surprised that there should have been a full question on time series, it does in fact come under the budgeting section of the syllabus (along with regression analysis, and high-low), and they do specify budgeting as one of the areas for Section B.
Anyway, F2 is now finished with 🙂
Good luck with your next exams!Hello John Moffat,
I want to say a big hearty thank you to you and other members of the open tuition team. I took the f2 paper based exam in June and the f3 computer based today and passed both exams studying with open tuition materials and bbp exam kit
Just to add:
To my utmost surprise, in paper f2, there was a full question in section b on time series analysis, trend, actual, seasonal and similar areas. I was able to apply some common sense and logic beacuse although i studied that area of the syllabus, i didnt really concentrate neither could i remember. there were also lots of variance questions ad well as marginal and absorption consting questions. was soooo nervous at the end of the exam before i ended the exam to get my scores.
I am writing f4 and f5 in december. attending lectures and using the bpp study text as well as revision kit, adding open tuition to the list of resources to use and hope to be veryy successful in the december exams come february 2015.
Thank you once again Mr John Moffat, your lectures are clearly explained, easily unnderstood and you respond to any questions students have no matter how often it is been asked, coupled with a great sense of humour.
Very much and very well appreciated!
Keep up the good work and hope to hear more success stories open tuition has helped with.
Thank you very much for your comments, and many congratulations, Jide 🙂
I am very pleased indeed for you, and I look forward to hearing from you in relation to F5 (it is another of our tutors who teaches F4).
(I don’t know whether or not you have already registered for your courses, but I actually think (and hope) that you will find our lectures on here to be better. Every one of our lecturers has more experience teaching ACCA than the lecturers at any other tuition provider! 🙂 )
Hello John Moffat,
Apologies it has taken this long to respond to your message. Thank you for your response and I am pleased you are pleased about my success in my previous exam and your concern for my next exams in December.
I have already registered and paid for the December exams and currently attending lectures at a tuition provider. I have no doubts that open tuition lectures and lecturers are one of the best and experienced out there and have been proven by the comments from successful candidates including myself.
However, that being said and with a few days less than one month to the F5 exam in December, although I have been preparing and attending lectures, I am concerned I might run out of time and not complete or cover the entire lecture videos and practice questions on open tuition before the exam day. Please what do you suggest and advice. I am getting increasingly concerned as the day comes closer because I am currently struggling with most topics and time is running out.
I trust you can help with a plan that will ensure my success in the exam come December.
Once again, many thanks to you and the rest of the open tuition team.
Hi Jide
I will reply, but in future if you want me to reply then please post in the Ask the Tutor Forum – this forum is for students to help each other 🙂
Thank you for your comments.
Given that you are attending lectures, the most important thing is practice. I assume your tuition provider has given you a Revision/Exam Kit from one of the approved providers and you should work through every question. Where you have problems you should learn from the answers, and where necessary ask your tutor for help.
For extra help we have a Section A MCQ test on the website. It selects questions at random from a large bank and so every time you try the test you are likely to get different questions.
Dear Mr Moffat,
Thank you for your response, will ask in another forum later.
Many thanks for your advice and your comments.
