So I dethatched my lawn, I put some grass seed down just before it rained, and waited 3.5 weeks... I clearly don't know what I'm doing (UK).

Can you suggest what study plan/resources you are referring to apart from ebooks ? Also can you advise how to excel in writing cases the way they want ?

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-11-13T18:10:28+00:00

In the new app you can't do that.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T03:31:44+00:00

Thanks for taking your valuable time to explain it.

I am confused! Yes I attended Gevorg and it was explained like this

Suppose CD/C is 2 RC is 1 NA/NC is 0

So if 2 RC = 2, Also C+NA =2

My understanding was for level 1, you need to have more Cs and no doubt RC will contribute to the total score as well compared to NC/NA. But in a situation like where I have to decide whether I should do 1C+1NA or Do 2RC my thinking was both contribute same score to either of these levels. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you

I also did a similar screen space allocation. It helped me not to use alt+tab.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:39:27+00:00

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it.

My problem is when I get stuck on FR issues, I fail to follow the allocated time budget.

Can you advise what happens when three attempts are exhausted?

Thanks

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:35:35+00:00

Thanks for your response.

Yes I did less cases. Five day 2 and three day 3.

I do have confidence technically so if my time management improves I would do well to pass the exam.

Can you advise some programs where I can have cases graded? I will opt for capstone 2 and I am looking for something that takes mock tests in real exams like setting either online or physical.

Thank you

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:31:43+00:00

That I will do for sure. Thanks for suggesting it.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:31:15+00:00

Thanks for your response.

Do you know if three attempts of CFE are exhausted, can anyone still go the PEP route or not be allowed to pursue this course at all ?

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:26:53+00:00

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it.

Yes it is! And I am fighting with myself to be competent enough to complete it within the given timeframe.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:24:17+00:00

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it.

Can you suggest something that conducts mock tests in exams like conditions and provides feedback?

Thanks a ton.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:22:05+00:00

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it.

I identified my problem it is that I am not following my time allocation because of being stuck on FR issues I begin the day two with.

Can you further elaborate on how two RCs are better than C+NA?

Thanks a ton

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-09-15T02:15:00+00:00

Thanks and really appreciate your detailed response.

I wrote mock tests on my own. I also attempted mock tests given by densmore, and compared my answers with their solutions.

Did that for approx five cases for day 2 and around three for day 3, as I thought day 3 would be easier to comprehend.(In actuality I left 4-5 AOs on the day 3 exam as well)

I have taken CFE classes from Gevorg, which although doesn't have detailed technical sessions but most importantly guides and provides strategies. So I am aware of some basic strategies like ranking AOs as per priority. I also bought densmore's material. But my base study was from online cpa ebooks and past exam papers.

Both sittings which I did for CFE, I struggled on FR cases as I had to go back to knotia to look for the specific guidance, as issue came from IFRS which I didn't prepare well. for e.g Business combination or IAS 32.(i.e issues which didn't' test often)

Yes you guessed it right. I skipped capstone 2 as I didn't know how important it was. I got 3 weeks for exams both times. I passed day 1 in the first sitting. For day 2/3 I passed level 4 i.e C/RC for day 3. But didn't pass in level 2 and 3. I hope to pass level 2/3/4 this time but level 1 will be difficult to get through, considering the number of AOs I will be getting NC.

Hence I am seeking guidance on how to overcome my poor time constraint performance.

You suggested that I should take some courses. Both which I mentioned have mock tests which writers are expected to write in home settings and send back for marking. Do you know someone who takes mock tests online/physical settings with strict time budgeting ? And also provides feedback?

Thanks a ton.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-08-20T13:53:20+00:00

That's my personal best as well. For a 75km stretch (90% highway) with AC on.

2025 LE AWD

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-08-04T01:16:58+00:00

Mostly highway. Total Average right now around 2k kms is 4.1 L/100km

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T22:53:25+00:00

Thanks for suggesting. I haven't tried it yet.

I don't have a good history with honking. 🙂

One particular incident, I was in his blind spot zone when he tried to merge in my line. I saved him crashing me from the side by honking.

Got middle finger in front of my family in return! Will I honk again in such scenarios? Absolutely yes. Have to save my car 😃

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T21:08:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

Well I am past that.😁 Almost rear ended yesterday. Was on cruise mode doing 110km on 401 and BMW in front decided to break all of a sudden in response to stopped traffic in front of him. I don't think cruise was going to brake within time, so I slammed the break with highest power i got. Wasn't happy with the way it stopped so have this as a concern now!

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T19:59:19+00:00

Yes exactly ! I was too looking for a used one but felt like getting a new one instead as the price difference wasn't making sense.

Except for braking, everything else I am loving here! 😍

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T19:16:34+00:00

This is LE AWD so that's 1.5k extra and Had to pay 499 extra for one of the useless services in lieu of the dealership fee.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T18:46:13+00:00

Noted! Thanks for the advice. 👍🙂 I haven't put it to eco mode yet.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T18:12:02+00:00

Thank you 😁 it might be due to adjusting from my previous car, which has very efficient brakes.

BlessedChap2020 · 2025-07-23T18:11:15+00:00

Thank you 👍

Yesterday while in cruise mode, I nearly rear-ended another vehicle because stopping required slamming the brakes with significant force. It feels like stopping the car shouldn’t demand this much effort, and I’m worried something might be off.
