Hi,

Is the examiners report for the November 2016 exam due to be published before the February sitting?

Thanks,

RF
 
The actual exam result is 2 Feb per the professions website so the report should be soon thereafter.
 
Hi, I've got my CA3 exam on Tuesday and just did this paper, before I realised there was no examiners report on this! Does anyone know what the 'correct' answer is?

In particular I wasn't sure whether to show "the value of the proposal to the customer". I ended up opting to show the annual saving as well as the saving in year 1 for each proposal, but I think this was a bit complicated. Maybe I should have just shown the annual saving as this corresponds to the "Typical spend for one year" also asked for in the question.

To explain what I'm talking about I have shown the annual saving and saving in year 1 for a 'Low' user under 'Proposal 1' below:

Proposal 1 - $75 off the cost of coffee capsules
Expected lifetime of machine - 7.5 years

Annual saving = 10 (75/7.5)
Saving in Year 1 = 75
 
I have emailed the profession to ask but not received a response. Does acted have a model solution they could perhaps share? I wonder why they have uploaded the question and not the answers, seems strange?!
 
There's always a delay after results. It's nothing unusual. Usually around a week I think
 
Thanks bystander. I am resitting (again!) tomorrow so was hoping to see the solutions for Q1 (Coffee proposal) to compare against my attempt for practice. It does seem pretty complicated so I just hope the paper tomorrow is kinder :oops:

Acted tutors, if you can shed any light on what you see as the key points and suitable graphs for this question, please help. I have two tables, one that summarizes each category of customer & buying habits. The second table summarizes the cost for each category of customer. I have commented on each proposal following that because I am trying to keep it simple. It's a fine line between keeping it simple and not having enough depth though.

Would appreciate any comments, thanks :)
