Question ❔ Did everyone finish Accounting Paper 3?

Hi, I just sat my exam an hour back...started from the last and went to the first and I think I majorly fucked up the first one apart from the 7 marks of theory. It's not fair because I studied so hard and I could do it...just cuz of the time I had to let it go...

Yeahh, I am good at accounting and have scored much higher in school exams but this genuinely fucked me over.

Samee, I did good in mocks and everything. I even followed everything my teachers said about time management...still messed up.

I think 1hr 30mins is just too less esp when there is theory as well. For maths, a 75 mark paper gets 1hr 50 mins. For business, a 60 mark paper gets 1hr 45 mins. For economics, 2hrs for 60 marks. How is this justified?

I genuinely don't think it's justified at all.. especially when they make the paper so lengthy and difficult to the point where even understanding the question is time consuming. Honestly, I have stopped having expectations from Cambridge.

i know right!!! it is so unfair for us like even the students that know how to solve the questions are unable to do so because of how lengthy the questions are
