I only have this exam to sit in June and I haven't sat it before. What's the general opinion on this unit's assessment?

    A lot of our group were thrown by the spreadsheet question (Nov 2004) as you had to put the formula in, rather than just the value.<BR><BR>The other sticking point seemed to be revising the production budget.<BR><BR>Scott.

    If you have already passed PEV (which you must have if this is your last one) you will have no problem with this at all. As Scotty says a lot of people were thrown by the spreadsheet question - our tutor assumed we were all computer literate enough to realise what this required and so didn't even cover it in class. I know a few people who entered the actual answers rather than the formula required and they still passed so don't get hung up on this. Another sticking point was a question relating to stepped costs, I think in the Dec paper it related to maintenance costs (in the past it has related to supervisor's costs). Remember to treat this as a stepped cost and round the value up rather than decide to convert to a variable cost. In terms of supervisors remember that half a supervisor doesn't tend to stand up very well and you should be okay! Sounds mad I know but in exam conditions it's easy to lose sight of the type of cost you are calculating when it is easier to calculate a variable. <BR><BR>For extra practice you could try the Osborne Workbooks. We started this unit in mid September and had builders in by the time of the exam so I started on my revision really early using the workbook and felt well prepared. The answers must be purchased separately and you should obtain authorisation from your tutor/centre (required on the order form). I also have a lot of papers for this subject - if there are any you would like let me know.
