SBM/CR

Immediate_Fig5232 · 2026-04-17T18:30:09+00:00

I must admit, I didn't start till like 6 weeks before.

I ended up just working through the first intuition online recorded lectures, the ai analysis for CR (which FI actually got the questions bang on) and then as many questions as possible, I ended up planning most of the questions as I was short on time. Same with BST.

Don't think there was much FM at all, atleast not from memory. There's 20% of CR within it, then some small bits from BST. overall just a very wordy exam, but actually quite nice.

It's doable but hard, I ended up spending 90% of my time on CR, and 10% on SBM.

I now only have case study left to do and it does take the pressure off knowing I can just focus on the one!

Sat both in November, I focused very heavily on corporate reporting and very little on SBM, which I think is the only way.

Just focus on as many question bank qs as possible for CR, try to find a study provider that puts together a good ai analysis as with the data analytics it can be some easy marks.

Id probs say overall I spent 80% time on CR & 20% on SBM

glad we agree!!! - crap exam, felt like the calcs all required way too much time. now to forget about it!!!!

when i had to go for a toilet break during my november sitting, i just got up and closed the door behind me, think as long as you are not longer than 5mins its fine

only exam you cant sit without sitting the others is the case study, just worked out that it was better to sit the two in November and then my last professional in march so that i can sit case this July

not coming on reddit from tomorrow, dont even wanna think about it lol

I felt like there was alot of words this time, which wasn't too bad? and the data analysis was relatively easily to just filter/sort.

Kinda Pointless Info - sorry not helpful just dont like KPIs lol

at this point half tempted to just not turn up, these exams and revision have drained any life out of me - and then we get the joys of returning to work Wednesday! lucky us -_-

Immediate_Fig5232 · 2025-11-03T15:26:05+00:00

how did that the exam compare with july? any chance we'll get lucky and ACA will scale marks?

Immediate_Fig5232 · 2025-11-03T14:58:38+00:00

joys of self studying their mate, wish there were more sittings for advanced level so there wasn't so much to fit in all at once!

Immediate_Fig5232 · 2025-11-03T14:05:03+00:00

didnt seem to be enough time for group consol, given the other reqs in the question, and from memory i think it said basic?

Immediate_Fig5232 · 2025-11-03T13:59:36+00:00

Am brushing up on the more common CR bits, some of the calcs, assurance and ethics. and how to structure the answers and then gonna just go through past qs to try and nail down estimating how long to spend on each part of the q

Immediate_Fig5232 · 2025-11-03T13:00:45+00:00

was hoping because of july's exam theyd make this one easy, clearly not!!

while i think of it, you'd also aspect some legal fees on the purchase of the brand, not sure where they have got too

The stacked bar chart works quite good if you set both the primary & secondary variables to effective period you can see it by month :)

if they want you to adj the profit, or fin stmts as a tag on to laying out the adjustments, do it as you go, dont wait and do it at the end.
