Assumption for T5 (Managing People and System) - ACCA Global Accountancy Discussion Forums

Grimmjow6 · 06-03-2008, 12:45 AM

Do we have to assume that the same questions came out from last sitting are not going to come out on 4th of June? According to my own analysis, I found that questions(I didn't mean chapter) which came out from June 2004 - Dec 2007 are hardly repeated.

Notice, examiners like to test candidates on question number 3 about the knowledge of management theories from the management writers. (eg:- Henri Fayol, Charles Handy,Tuckman, Abraham Maslow, Blake and Mouton, Belbin)
I hope you can spot the question number 3 by crossing out the "came-out-before" management theories.

I think Chapter 9 and 14 are examiner's favourite. Both of the chapter popping out EVERY year!!!

As for question 5, you've gotta study chapter 17,18 all the way out, there is no choice. It is pretty easy as for this part (E, I'm referring to).

Please take note, I'm just doing my own analysis on the pass year question, there is no guarantee that my analysis and predictions are correct.
Practically, you still have to go through all the chapters.

I think this is the best I can contribute. Hope this will help.

hey Grimm....i assume u r studying from BPP because the chapters relating to question 5 in FTC are chapter 19 and 20...and yeah one more thing for question 1 if u would have noticed in dec04, june 07 and dec 07 the questions were almost the same just wordings were bit different..so u cant really say that questions were not repeated....i assume that for question 1 maybe PEST analysis can come up or something about stakeholders...well i hope it turns out this way

.....and as for question 3 the topic being favorite of examiner has been effective leadership,management and supervision which is chapter 10 from FTC...as far as question 4 is concerned the favorite has been effective communication and interpersonal skills chapter 15 of FTC.....

i have done this analysis from past papers...so im expecting that it would be the same this year..anyhow u said it right knowledge of all chapters is important

@tuha....said it before as well no one chapter is important!!!!...go through all...
