I always bring the Finance tables from the CAP1 exam. It has formulae on it too which can be handier than looking in my notes.

Thanks. I didn’t do CAP1 so is there any chance you could post them here? No worries if not

It's on the website under CAP1 essential documents. I don't think you need to be logged in to access it.

Hi everyone just letting you know that I have created a WhatsApp group this evening as I had interested from some people and there was a general agreement that boards was hard to follow and people were asking the same questions. Send me a message with your number to be added. I think it will be very helpful for the next 6 weeks and I don’t think people have to worry about constantly getting messages as WhatsApp groups can be muted thanks

Hello, I tried to message you about the Whatsapp group but it is saying your mailbox is full so you cant receive messages. Can you contact me when you get a chance please? Thanks

Cool, thanks was just wondering

They told me an email will be out this afternoon, so not sure who you’re getting that info from. They’re very confusing.

Got mine there, passed apm, failed core bad (in the mid 20s)

fishy_fishy

Got mine too. Passed APM and came close to passing core. Happy enough seeing as I only did one SIM and did no tax on anything.

Pretty much the same but sat audit elective. Passed it but only 26 in Core which was expected.

ACASlayer

Passed both pretty comfortably. Thank god.

Anyone else disappointed with the commentary on their mocks scripts? The difference between commentary on my scripts is massive. On one of sims booklets there is literally just ticks that is it. No comments at all. They let on that the mocks are a "worthwhile experience" so you can learn from where you went wrong, but I may as well not have done the Sims day as I literally have no feedback on one script. Did anyone else find that or was I just unlucky?

Ask for it to be recorrected.

The marking seems quite arbitrary as well. Especially professional competence marks.

The variety in the comments between my paper marked by different people is massive. There's one of them, and I can't read some of the handwriting. I keep thinking it's a really important bit of feedback that I'm missing out on.

I also only got the scripts back because the label only had the first line of my address printed on it. Someone wrote the rest of the address on it, but with the wrong county. I award them nominal competency, as they at least attempted to address the envelope.

FiMG

Yea I can't see any reference to Professional competency at all on mine. I probably wont be bothered getting it recorrected sure at this stage its a bit late. I am going to email them though about it - not that I'm expecting a response off them!

Does anyone have a past paper analysis that shows the topics that came up in previous years by indicator? Possibly for core and audit elective? Thanks.

I would also be interested in this, if anyone had it handy? Hope everyones study leave is going well!

Apparently mine has also been sent out with only the 1st line of address - nothing else. I still haven't received it Am I the only one still waiting? Not looking too good at this point.

Thanks

You've just caused me minor heart failure about the website changing exam centres but thankfully mine is fine.

There was a preliminary notification email sent on July 11th which has your exam centre on it. Might be worth checking yours and if it showed the centre you want but the system has since changed it you might have a case with them.

Good luck!

P.S. full on mental breakdowns are a fairly normal part of the exam process I find, but they do pass

Thanks Ruth, think melt down has subsided a fair bit there now. Big glass of wine and no study tonight maybe a chick flick is what I need! Then back at it tomorrow night

Hey guys, Has anyone prepared an industry file for APM? What have you included in them? Thanks
