Question:

This query is for Management Accounting - Financial Strategy, but your reply may suitably apply to

the other two papers of Strategic level. I want to understand the requirement of the examiner with

regards to the length of discussion for questions that call for elaborations after numerical calculations.

also supposed to discuss Venture Capital as one of the means available for the same. So, can we

write short note on this or we are supposed to write detailed report?

Question:

What questions and from which topics should candidates sitting for F3 paper expect?

for your own personal handwriting size, writing style

and the particular question you are attempting.

Question:

General question about strategies, specifically for F3. Why are some of the questions - notably

calculations - not answerable within the time limit given?

On the pilot paper was a table of fixed and variable interest rates, and I attempted to work backwards

to find the individual amounts. However, from the answer, it was not meant to be analysed

numerically, so that is not very fair to those who attempt to do so.

Question:

Is it acceptable that answer plans are written in English? I intend to use mind maps / Spider diagrams

to plan my answers for the Financial Strategy paper in May.

better of me when I get in the exams and end up with very disappointing marks. I do home study

using CIMA and other materials. Please can you tell me how I can improve on my marks in May.
