ACCA JUNE EXAMS: DAY FOUR FEEDBACK

How was FR and SBR on day 4 of the exams? Looks like time was the big enemy…

FR: ‘Quite hard’ and ‘time pressured’ was the general consensus. There were some that also found it ‘relatively fine’ and ‘surprisingly OK’.

That said, more time was wanted! “I wish I had 20 minutes more to go over every section A and B question,” explained one sitter.

Another PQ said: “I felt that time just sucked away near the end, but maybe that was my own fault as I took too long with the presentation of answers on section C Q1.”

SBR: For students jumping on to the Open Tuition Instant Poll the SBR exam was a disaster for 31% and hard for another 40%. Just 26% felt the exam was OK. A PQ posted: “Brutal exam, I reckon I got 40 marks at best.”

Good exam technique is vital and one sitter said: “I spent too much time on Q1 – this might fail me.” What annoyed another was the fact that “the whole paper tested a tiny percentage of the syllabus and some questions were pretty repetitive. I wasted a lot of time learning the whole syllabus and not much of a range came up, which isd all pretty disappointing”.
