I thought it was a very fair paper. Q3 was fine apart from the construction contract. Q4 was exactly the same as specimen paper. No impairment needed or anything. Section B was my worry before the exam but a and b seemed fine. Deferred tax part of a was tricky. Decent audit and ethics question. Maybe hard to pick up 5 marks on tax bases and capital maintenance. Section A there were 2 or 3 guesses for me but again ok. Will be gob smacked if I don't get my 50% in jan!!

Fair

F1 seemed to be a very fair paper. I practiced a lot. Like everyone, I was also afraid of exams. But I think that fear made me to practice well. At the final phases my tutor insisted me to do many questions and send her back by email. So when she clarified the mistakes and gave me feedback over the internet, I felt much confident. But Yes, as Andy stated Q3 construction issue was bit worrying factor for me though. Anyways, totally a very fair paper. If you had practiced well, then no chance of any frustration I think. Done !!!
