Discuss ca final costing paper- 09/11/2012

@ dishant

Can u provide details of CFA Course....

I felt the paper was very tough. Normally u find atleast some problems which are walk in the park. But in this case there were hardly any. And theory questions were a lot, which made the paper more unexpected.

U can see that in simulation problem - he gave probabilities of serving time first and then arrival time. But in random no.s - line1 was arrival and line 2 serving. Tricky !!!

And all those qualified students who r not so happy with these easy papers of group1, pls check out today's paper. "booori nazar waaley, tera muu kaala" 

jst light hearted comment. no disrespect intended.

dont know how to react...! But, let us expect the correction will be liberal..

You are correct that expectations will not always materialise, especially if its professional exam of the merit of CA Final, but then there is another element called as obvoiusness. There is bound to be some sort of certainty as a matter of fact or as a matter of trend or as a matter of merit. No doubt, theory can be attempted if there is understanding of practical concepts, but there is a huge difference between accuracy and a general statement and yesterday's theory was of the kind that couldn't have been attempted solely on the basis of practical understanding. Even attempted, it would have been something "which was not upto the expectations of the examiner".

I don't think that anybody would have lost nerves, rather there would have been more concerted effort in the 3 hours. Remember that too much of buttering can also result in slippery ride and yesterday's exam was also the same.
 

1 question (complete set) takes 45 mins for me to complete. So when i know all the questions, the paper becomes lengthy.

It becomes difficult to decide which questions to answer first. the easier ones takes time. So i take small ones that tricks me when im in the middle of the solution and then i regret for not choosing the lengthy easier ones to answer first.

Today's paper was one of its kind. Inspite of so much of theory the paper was lengthy!!!

very tough compared to May 2012 paper

Lenghty paper so was difficult to plan timing,. had to really rush in the last 90 minutes.

Question paper was not tough at all.. it was very different to the last three to four attempts.

In the last few attempts theory questions has been more practically oriented while this time it was direct.

In last few attempts qns on OR was all not direct though easy , this time it was direct and easy.

Only question i found difficult was qn 1c, the formulation of LPP.  rest  was good.

Theory asked was repeated theory asked in past exams & questions were attendable..I felt that Questions were not hard but little lengthy..

Hi Guys,

My costing paper was really very nice and I am expecting atleast 80-85. I have attempted all the theory questions correctly. For Theory institute study material really works and not any other book.
