Exam time is getting close, only one week to go! For those of you sitting T4 part B, this can be the your last CIMA paper ever! This sounds exciting, right? Let me give you some final tips.

I am selling BPP notes for the Jot case study (relevant to May 2012 sitting).

This includes 7 mock exams, which are very helpful in your studies. 

All notes for £30. Available to pick up from Liverpool Street or Newbury Park.

I've just passed my last strategic exam finally!

I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for TOPCIMA tuition? I've studied so far at home and paid for it all myself so if anyone can recommend a cheap but good provider that would be great! The nearest BPP/Kaplan course is a couple of hours from home so I'd prefer an on line course if possible.

 I've heard that TOPCIMA is very different so I'm guessing I should get some tuition this time.

Thanks!

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today is the 14th Feb and for those who are in a relationship, you may have spent a lot of time in advance for preparation.  Your checklist of today may includes:

Dear all,

Hi

Does anyone know whether the FT still publish a list of passed finalist?

Thanks

Am I right in saying that the marker receives a print out of the exam scripts?

 Therefore it would make sense to use as little formulae as possible to show all numbers used in Excel calculations?

 Thanks,

 Rich

What is your time plan for T4?

Mine is, for 3 hours 20 minutes

1. Reading time 20" -concentrate, highlight sparingly, jot S,W,O,T where obvious.

2. List clearly Four Key Issues, One (or two) Minor Issue/s and Three Ethical Issues

3. Rank them with a number

4. List (in shorthand) up to five diversity examples for each issue including one for the introduction. 

=5" all together (the examiner has said rank does not matter as long as judgement is good)

Hi everyone

My free strategic analysis of the Papy T4 exam is now available on my website (see by profile for details). After years of teaching TOPCIMA for all the main tuition providers, I do hope I can add just a little to your own analyis of the case, so please do take a look.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or comments on this too - so just any any points you have below.

Regards

Hi

Hi All

I've yet to sit TOPCIMA paper but just managed to read the specimen answer availabe in CIMA website.

My jaw practically dropped - does it have to be that extensive? Can we really write such high level report with technical analysis in 3 hours?. Left university 10 years ago - not sure whether I still have the writing speed and cross thinking ability during exam hours. Typing in MS Word may partly solve this but I doubt PC based exam available here.

With just over 3 weeks until the T4 part B exam, it's time to focus on...timing!

Hi all

Adrian Sims has written an article analysing the BZCS case.

Hello, I am hoping someone can help..

I get my results for the strategic level next week, and in case i pass, want to try and organise my Top Cima (T4) study as some course start soon after results day.

I have previously used both BPP and Kaplan, preferring BPP. However, when i look at their top cima course, it seems that Kaplan's is more than double the length of tutor hours?

Kaplan does 7 days of 7 hours = 49 hours

BPP does 2 days of 7 hours + 3 nights of 3 hours = 23 hours?
