What is going on with SBR? It was described a ‘torture’ and ‘horrific’ in equal measure! FR was no walk in the park either. Check out www.pqmagazine.com for all the feedback…
Strategic Business Reporting (SBR)
As one student put it: “What was this exam!” Another said it was simply torture! And, other words used to describe the September sitting were ‘brutal’ ‘horrific’, and ‘awful’.
A sitter explained: “It was so difficult this time. I am resitting from June (got 49%), and now this!”
Another said: “I don’t care what ACCA says, this exam was designed to fail students.”
The groups P&L with foreign associate disposal threw many.
Hardly surprising then that in the Open Tuition Instant Poll some 45% ticked the ‘disaster’ box (that might be a record), another 36% said the September test was ‘hard’. Just 18% felt the exam was ‘OK’.
Financial Reporting (FR)
The lack of consolidation question annoyed some, due to the revision time they had put in towards that area!
In the Open Tuition Instant Poll some 20% of sitter said they had a ‘disaster’ and another 34% found the September exam ‘hard’. That left 45% thinking the exam was ‘OK’.
