My two cents..........
1. NPO was not a saga. I had solved all questions in Hanif M, study mat, practise manual and paduka. So i can say i am an master in NPO problems. The question looked long, but most of it was posting only. Only few tricky adjustments. I could have solved it in 40 min, but i did it last so fell short of 5 min. my answer sheet was snatched.
2. Not a single familiar question, which could be traced in any book. Not even from study mat.
3. All these people are hellbent on failing us:-
Question paper setter
Paper checker
Time keepers in the center(who ring bell slightly before 3 hours, eating up approx 5-7 min.
Exam center people, who get money for conducting exam but have low lighting, uncomfortable benches, invigilators who unnecesarily confuse us by interpreting the rules in their own ways. And they stand ready for the bell to ring and snatch it from our hands(like dogs rushing for their meals).
The most severe blow on IPCC students was that questions of 4,5 and 10 marks were the toughest, whereas the 16 marks questions were comparitively easier. They know that students first go for short questions. It was hard to judge and attempt those 16 marks ones before those short ones. This time they wanted us to attempt 16 marks first and then go to later questions.
I am pretty sure that Inter company holding is out of syllabus for IPCC. Still it was asked.
Only way to pass with guarantee in all subjects is to study the final course syllabus and practise for finals exam, u will easily pass ipcc/pcc.
