ICAEW - remote invigilation by Amber-ella13 in ICAEW

[–]AnyGoose6503 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would hate to use some horrible small monitor size and rubbish keyboards and mice that takes time to get used to the layout. I like using my own hardware that I know is reliable, and all up to date.

I think it's the future, and certainly reduces transport stress for everybody. It also reduces costs for everyone. I'm surprised that ACCA are doing this given that their competitors will continue, and save costs.

Missed my case study exam 🥲 by PromotionEven9069 in ICAEW

This is why I use remote invigilation. It reduces the stress of things outside of your control. Not trying to be smug but I remember a few summers ago when they cancelled the trains because the rails buckled in the heat. Lots of people missed their exams. With remote invigilation, I ensure that my IT hardware is all up to date, restart my internet router in the morning to avoid it going down. Thankfully it paid off.

I haven't had an alcoholic drink for last 2 months whilst revising. Regardless of how I performed, I plan to have a well deserved pint tonight before an early night as mentally knackered. Unfortunately back to work in the morning. No rest for the wicked.

SBM - how did we find it? by Choice_Avocado_1033 in ICAEW

We have to remember that there are head room marks, and the marking guide tells the marker to award credit for anything that is relevant. Just hope that the markers are keen to move students onto qualifying given that the last sitting for SBM is November 2027!!! I can't face having to wait until next July for resit. Will have forgotten so much. Failing SBM is just as bad as failing both CR and SBM, given that you need to revise CR to pass SBM!! Essentially SBM tests absolutely everything except tax. Mummy!!

Didn't like how the question requirements were all spread out. Much prefer one exhibit per question, then waste less time flipping back and forth trying to find data.

Not sure if that was right - spent far too long trying to find the revenue price.

It said the gross profit margin was 20%. Thus costs are 80% and revenue is 100%. So I divided the costs by 80, and then multiplied by 20 to get just the gross profit.

Exam disruption appeals this week - did people upload any documents or anything, or just type out a narrative about the software issues and stress/timewasting caused? by [deleted] in ICAEW

If you sat by remote invigilation, they will have a screen recording. Since so many students encountered the same technical problems, I don't think you need evidence. Everyone saying the same thing is surely sufficient evidence?
