Have I left it long enough? Is it safe to post about this exam yet???
I'm going to anyway.
I thought paper 1 was hard but fair. There was some direct bookwork and some familiar themes (like the consortium wanting to build overseas hotels and the risks associated after construction)
I hated paper 2. Several questions where I couldn't pinpoint exactly WHAT was being asked (eg. how to "define the target funding level" of a benefit scheme, "describe the benchmarks" for the investment opportunities). Although, it is entirely possible that its just me being stupid.
I did notice however that during the reading time for paper 2 the mood in the entire room dropped. You could just feel the shock in everybody's system.
Does anyone get the feeling that this was a "transistion" paper that is trying to give an indication of what the new CA1 exams will be like?
Thoughts?
