I am attempting my SCS in the coming August and completed my P3,F3 & E3 syllabus and seeing the mocks given by cima in May and planning to study from past papers do you guys have any other suggestions please do help me 🙏.
I have passed my e2 exam. Should i do f2 or p2 next. I understand for the ocs it was closer to the p1 paper. Is it the same for mcs?
i see a lot of posts saying SCS is actually easier than MCS. anyone with experience of this?
and which is larger in terms of content on FLP? I see SCS has an extra competency but all 12 of them have an intro and a wrap up area - so it seems like less areas within each competency
Hi all,
I'll be sitting the OCS case study exam in exactly 5 weeks.
I studied via the FLP and completed the competencies about 3 weeks ago.
The issues I have are, since then, I've been unable to start studying for the case study. I've read the pre seen once and that's is. No examiners guide to answers, no pre seen analysis, nothing.
In addition, I've forgotten what I learnt in the competencies (tbf, by E1, I had already forgotten P1 and so forth) :/
What's the best plan of attack to become more confident over the next month?
I should be able to study about 2 hours a day, maybe even more on weekends. All studying is done with just the CIMA platform - don't think work will cover a external tutor.
Thanks
Congrats everyone, and good luck to those who need to re-sit, I hope the next one goes better for yall!!
Sat the Kaplan mock and got 39 and 40 in them - does anyone know if they’re of a similar ish difficulty to the exam?
hows everyone feeling about the mcs results dropping in very soon (1 day to go)
When are the results for the scs coming out? I thought they were supposed to be announced today
Having difficulty finding a PER answer, could someone help please.
I have submitted an employment and that entry now says 'submitted for sign off'. Is that now with the manager? (or do I have to submit my full PER before anything goes for approval?)
is it important to go throught E3, F3, P3 in order to pass SCS for those who got exemptions for all of the papers except SCS?
and if that is the case, any good youtube channels and notes to start from scratch?
My supervisor signed off my PER 7 weeks ago… it has shown as signed off ever since, no banner, no audit, no movement. I called CIMA this week as I’ve read they can get stuck but they just told me I needed to be patient as the process can take 8+ weeks. I get my case study result next week so I was hoping this would be approved by then so I can draw a line under all of it. Do you think it’s worth chasing again? I don’t know if I’m being impatient but I would have expected to at least seen it’s gone to audit by now… really disappointed with the process tbh, I thought they could be a bit more transparent with the status.
UPDATE: It was stuck. The wait continues. Thanks for the replies :)
Just passed P2 this morning, however before the exam I read a lot of posts on how it isn’t as hard as the Kaplan mocks, but for me I found it to be as difficult. Did anyone else find themselves in a similar situation when they sat? The way they ask some of the questions is so convoluted.
Regardless I’m happy I was fortunate enough to pass F2 and P2 first time and hoping it’s all downhill from now, just about enough time to squeeze in Aug MCS.
Just looking for people to commiserate with. I walked out thinking I did a relatively decent job except for a tricky final question, and it turned out I failed pretty spectacularly!
How’s everyone feeling about results dropping tonight (hopefully midnight) ? It’s been nice to forget about the exam for the last few weeks but now I’m rethinking all the questions all over again. Does anyone know what time results usually drop ? Best of luck everyone !
Scared is an understatement - anyone else got thoughts?
I have completed my ast level 2 and 3 can I go into cima certificate level
Thursday is result day,and was wondering how we holding up
I have mixed feelings about this cause in one hand I feel like I did my best and post exam me and a couple of mates of mine seemed to be having similar frames for our answers but I went into without doing one mock so I don’t have a sense of where I might fall in terms of marks or even passing for that fact
So yeah.i am in a limbo of confidence and anxiety regarding the exam results
Wanna know how yall feel about our D-Day
Is anyone not starting to really panic about their MCS results now? Seeing everyone get their OCS results has brought me back to reality after forgetting about it. I remember coming out the exam feeling ok but now I’ve overthought every question and convinced I have failed! Would rather live in this blissful limbo where I don’t know 🤣
BPP or Astranti for strategic level study providers?
I’m trying to submit my job description for my current role but it’s forcing me to add an end date to be able to submit? I don’t have an end date for the role, anyone know what I should do/put?
Thanks
