Went into this exam really ill, which wasn't the best thing, but tried to battle in through it. I didn't find the questions too difficult but for whatever reason I failed in my time management.

Went through the 8 non-written questions about 3 times over and I'm pretty confident I've got 90-95% of all these right, however in the written portions I simply ran out of time and I know they're worth 22 marks each (28%) of the entire marks.

I ended up just adding vital information into boxes and in some boxes I had like one line written and didn't have time to double check anything. Has anyone had a similar experience and ended up passing or does anyone think judging from this it may just be enough to pass?

For example, they asked for why there was a material price variance and I just had time to put in, the variance is adverse and one possible reason for this is a change in suppliers. Would I lose massive marks for not putting workings in there and a bunch of other stuff?

And

I guess the only marks you will gain is for the correct parts for every variance and reasons and by that don't worry you cover the competence requirement how was the first question was it difficult this is the fourth time that I am doing it and the same question popped out in every paper was it about something relating to empty boxes?:) how did you find it in general?:) and any tips which book did you use? because I have bbp Kaplan and Osborne
