It was all quiet on the PM front (as long as you took the ACB approach), ATX was a disaster for many, and APM pleasantly surprised some sitters!
PM
Many sitters took the A-C-B approach to sitting this one, which seems to work!
In the Open Tuition Instant Poll June’s exam was a ‘disaster’ for only 8% of voters, with 39% saying it was ‘hard’ and 48% feeling it was ‘OK’.
ATX
While the exam wasn’t horrendous many students felt overwhelmed with the information thrown at them. As one PQ said: “I don’t know how one can manage to get the task done.” Then the stress takes its toll!
Those who got the sole trader question were happy, although they found the other questions ‘more tricky’.
In the Open Tuition Instant Poll 47% said the exam was ‘OK’, with a further 33% saying it was ‘hard’. A sizeable 17% had a ‘disaster’ this time around.
APM
Overall, many found this ‘a pretty tough exam’. However, some PQs said they were ‘pleasantly surprised’, with one even saying: “The exam questions were nice!”
Some sitters were surprised by the benchmarking question, which they found challenging. As one PQ said: “I didn’t even know there was different types of benchmarking!”
Time was an issue too. “I could have done better with an extra 10 minutes,” explained one sitter.
In the Open Tuition Instant Poll some 50% of sitters ticked the ‘OK’ box. Another 30% said the exam was ‘hard’ and 15.5% had a ‘disaster’.
