Exam thoughts

[amer sheikh]

What did people think of the exam?  I found it straightforward.

I had the worst luck today.
For some stupid reason I thought that exam was at 6:30.

So I missed it

Such a waste of time and money

Fell so bad

You're kidding?! Why did you not double check? You must feel real awful. It was ok. The long case was fine. Surprised there was a lot of legal and ethics questions

Pandemonium. I saw two definite fails for exam violations in Vancouver. We weren't allowed to eat, but at about an hour in one of the invigilators brought in a greasy burger and fries. Stunk out the room.
You're right, the exam was pretty straight forward, but I didn't like the point breakdown. 4 points for a memo and 4 questions worth 10 points each. They made us scrounge for points this time. I wrote so much I couldn't feel my hand afterward. I think I got too complacent on Q6 and spent too much time. I wrote my executive summary twice, rough and final. It's tough to write something last, but present it first. I feel a lot better walking out than I did walking in. Whew! One more course and I'm done with this nonsense.

Well with a heavy heart I have concluded that if I do not get a 65% in this national I am going for my degree and not carrying on with my CGA designation. 19 years of taking school and I am completely deflated and know I didn't get the needed mark. Good luck to all in the future. My family means more than a few letters behind my name.

Good for you.  I read about the pa3 and pa4 which might be coming and made the same conclusion.  I admire those that get the designation, but for me I know my time is up.  Need to concentrate on other things. I wish you luck on getting your degree!

Hi Eugene, 

Where did you hear about the PA3 and PA4????

[Jaweed Waheed]

Hi Amer

I did choose the option 3 in the case, and now I realized that it was wrong. Noticed many recommended option 2
Will I lose marks for recommending wrong option?

what option you have recommended

I forgot that in case you could choose any options as longer as you had strong argument, there is no wrong answer and this is what is positive about doing cases.  It is over and we should forgot about it, let enjoy the time off.

I quickly recommended # 1 because # 2 was new and it always said to steer away from technology that is just emerging but #1 was better in my opinion because the MS SQL if familiar to the company so it would have the least user resistance and quickier implementation time. I put a chart for the alternatives with summary of my criteria.

It is sad that I went into national with a 79% but have probably failed. Is CGA setting us up to fail or suceed?

Option 2 means the data will be with the sub contractor

It depend upon the criteria you selected

Ya - I've never heard of PA3/4 … I think most of us in the program would not have to do that but more for new students …
