Does anyone know why the Institute hasn't put up the solution reports on the web yet?

Getting very annoying...

Just one last question - How much time did you spend on memorising the material the second time round, and how much was devoted to doing exams questions?

I can't remember exactly. Spent a large amount of time nearer the exam memorising the lists as I found them very useful for idea generation. CA1 seems to have a lot of lists to memorise so I did end up spending a lot of time commiting them to memory.

I managed to pass first time. I must have gotten lucky. Commiseration to those who didnt pass.

There are a lot of lists to learn and many of them you should take the time to learn. I found exam questions helpfull in that they helped highlight the more important topics/lists to learn and when the solutions didnt stick to a list per se.

I looked at both the Acted solutions and the Examiners reports to get more ideas and different approaches to getting ideas.

You really need to spend a lot of time on CA1 to read the material(firstly) then learn the important bits and practice questions.

The comment and solutions in this report seem fair enough. Good to see I wasnt the only one strugling to know the difference between liquidity and marketability (took me long to write something for that one)
