If you guys notice... this is the hardest sitting... every paper was as difficult. My theory is, due to economic crunch they are trying to fail everyone so we have to resit for them = exam fee and lessons.

yeah those 2 year questions simply meant that the examiner didnt want you to attempt the question number 5 and leave th 4th in half. WTF i mean, financial instrument,leases,construction contracts, fair value adjustments with all their depriciations, wrong sale in consolidation means alot of separation in SFP and IS. i knew everthing and yet the paper went bad, I dont think that all the calculations were correct but I placed them properly never the less in the sfp etc. lets hope i get 50.

I am a CA student actually, I am used to complications of higher catagory but quick to solve, ACCA disgust me forcing same calculations by giving 2 year old data, giving material in grams when output is given in tons, test you on maths aswell, thats plain stupid. if they wanted to test whether we can get current year balances with the 2 year old balances given, it was totally unfair to test that with leases,fv adj,construction contract and financial ins at the same question.

I was surprised to see that the examiner didnt want the income statement for that damn question

i thought it was soo hard from Q2 onwards. I totally lost my nerve when I saw all the adjustments. Were we supposed to post the revenue and costs of sales for the period to the IS or just leave it in the SOFP amount. I did both but wasn't sure if I should recognise it in the IS as it only said note iii which was the next adjustment.
i did the law paper as well, that was okay but this was the first proper pure accountancy paper (not computerised exam) that I have sat and it was a bit of a shocker!!!!

Q2 especially was so much harder than any of the past papers but maybe they will moderate our results and we didn't have enough time to have a proper attempt at Q5 which was okayish.
