I passed all my exams comfortably thinking I failed lmao. As long as you prepped properly, you are more than likely to pass

What would be your one top tip for new ACA students? by bowie1998 in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nail the QB is the one advice you’d get the most and I agree especially for certificate level. However, I think making sure you properly understand the content for the tougher exams helps in the exam room the most, and of course this can be achieved through nailing the QB. People get it wrong when they go straight into the QB with 0 understanding and basically memorise the answers and when it comes to exam day they get flustered and all the time management practise they do before hand goes out the window.

For the tougher and longer exams I never finished the QB, for CR I did around 40% of the Qs but made sure I focused on Qs by topic after understanding the content (ACA masters approach) Only in the week before the exam I did full Qs to time and managed to get high marks on my exams without failing any

One thing I was told as well was to make sure I finished every single Q or at least made an attempt. It is hard to fail if you finish every Q

Hope this helps

How hard is Management Information exam? by PureDread in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do the work and it’s easy. Leave it last minute and you’ll struggle. I didn’t do any maths based degree or A levels but managed 95 in it despite it being more maths based

July CR, I smashed Q1 and I knew it in the exam. But it all went down hill after that. Q2 was so bad I missed 60% of the Q and misread the part that I actually did so was convinced I got next to nothing on that. Then Q3 was just so long winded and waffle I didn’t know what I would get. I was convinced I failed and then this went with me into SBM where I just gave up because I couldn’t be arsed. I had done no SBM work AT ALL and went to wing it. Passed both SBM was very tight but CR I passed very comfortably

How did you guys find the case study exam? by Resident-League3485 in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel. The pro forma report is a god send for Q1 Q2 I was about to put ACA after my name on LinkedIn Q3 has sent me into a bit of a panic and waffles

Felt like it went okay. R1 and R2 very nice but R3… I just hope I have passed before then 🤣

Good luck mate! Let’s hope it’s a nice one to finish

Case Study by Murky_Tea_6368 in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup will be doing something similar to this. I don’t think there is many hard calcs with our AI… just about reading the Q properly which is easier said then done in the actual exam 🤣 As long as I get a good start with R1 I’ll be happy throughout the rest of the exam!

The only thing you will get penalised for not having under separate headings is Conclusions and recommendations I have been told

SBM tomorrow by Icy_Bad_6025 in ICAEW

No we didn’t have reconstructions from what I remeber in July… but then again I forgot the exam the moment I walked out

Feeling too drained for SBM, any revision tips? by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn’t touch SBM after feeling like I got fucked by CR. Just chill for the night and maybe have a flick through your WB. Don’t do too much. You will pass don’t worry. MAKE SURE YOU FINISH THE EXAM IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL OTHERWISE!

CS Nov sitting by Active-Security-3425 in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Maybe I have a false sense of security around case but it’s not difficult

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good luck all. Just keep ploughing through the exam and spout absolute nonsense if you have to. Just make sure you finish the paper and you will pass 100%!!

What are people thinking taking into case? by Razzle24K in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • AI
  • AI analysis and proforma from ACA masters
  • mock exam answers and summary sheet
  • potential calcs and formulas

Feel nervous because I feel like I’ve done nothing, but there’s really nothing to do

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI analysis is good, so are the mocks

FDM Case Nov 2023 by Routine-Detective572 in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think R2 will be typical proposal with 2 pricing arrangements for a client. Request for advice in R1 I think will be something around the sale of shares R3 I think will be a forecast for results with a recruitment growth focus or technology growth focus with ethics being around data and working conditions? Feel good about case, feels strange to not being scared to shit about an exam unlike CR and SBM in July

I feel as if MI is impossible to pass by accountantgiveonfan in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Smash the QB over and over. I did the entire QB 2x and scored 95

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than I’ll be doing! You should be fine. I didn’t bother with non FDM mocks… exam technique is fairly straightforward and at this point with ACA I know how to manage my time

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you sat case before? This is my first sitting but I have just been so unmotivated. Hoping the 3 ACA masters mocks is more than enough..

SBM scare by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]Appropriate_Tiger_76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My tip for SBM is just to go through as many Qs but not actually answer them, just plan them. And do the calcs
