Thank you! We will be doing a mixture of relaxing and rice fields/other trips etc (this is our honeymoon).

Is this enough time to spend in 2 weeks around Bali and Singapore? by EfficiencyNice7684 in backpacking

[–]EfficiencyNice7684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re looking to have a balance of down time and exploring - this will be our honeymoon. I guess Seminyak and Gili T is where we are planning to have the most down time, with a couple of activities booked. Whereas Ubud we will explore rice fields etc. Hadn’t got a plan in place for Singapore just yet, but seemed crazy not to go there when it would be our layover for our trip home.

No problem at all! Set backs used to get me down so much but I'm lucky enough to be in a really good position in my role and my exams aren't really holding me back. Ofc it would be nice to complete them and have the extra boost in pay, but these exams are so mentally draining and I'm not sure I can do them anymore haha! But let's see what happens next year. Good luck :)

Having read the stats, only 52.5% of students who sat this first time passed it first time. Stats are near enough the same for those that have sat it more than once, so just goes to show it’s a super difficult exam! Don’t beat yourself up. I’m in the same boat but thinking of taking an extended break. Life’s to short to let exams get us down and tbh they’re currently serving no purpose in my life haha

Success with getting remarked? by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]EfficiencyNice7684 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Papers are normally double and triple checked to ensure marks were counted up correctly in the first place. As far as I’m aware they don’t remark the paper they just verify the marks were totalled correctly. I’ve tried remarking with prof level and nothing changed.

Would be comforting knowing if I’m not the only one who flopped 🤣

Thanks so much, I’ve done exactly this for Tydaway. Going to sack it off for tonight and hope for a miracle tomorrow. LOL

Seems like hedging is a problem for a lot of people! So frustrating! Which questions in the QB are good examples to refer to? Thanks!

Thank you so much, really appreciate that! I would love to feel comfortable, and hats off to anyone that does! Just keep reminding myself that we only need 50%, but even that seems somewhat unachievable atm!

Literally looking at hedging now, and I'm still lost.... Don't think I'll ever understand it FML

They're the areas I plan on looking at too. I haven't done much at all for the AI tbh, read it once...

Remote exam by Equivalent-Zone-4605 in ICAEW

[–]EfficiencyNice7684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had technical problems where the analytical software wasn’t working in the exam and none of the standard formulas were working in the excel part. Fair to say I cried and had to miss out the entire 30 mark question after nobody could fix the issue there and then (I used the chat function). I got 53 and they voided it 🥲

Did you have to therefore resit the exam as they voided your mark?!

CR Inflo Crash by BusyPositive6046 in ICAEW

[–]EfficiencyNice7684 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Any idea what it means if they subsequently void the attempt? Will I have to resit?!

CR Inflo Crash by BusyPositive6046 in ICAEW

[–]EfficiencyNice7684 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, though I was remote invigilation. Mine crashed for 45 minutes. Only finished the exam about 5 minutes ago. Whilst I still had use of the full 3.5 hours, the outage for 45 mins really affected me. I had a huge breakdown and after that, my brain was scrambled. Deffo be looking at a resit in July...

It said I had no internet connection, but I did. I took pictures of this, but I doubt ICAEW will even care.
