How to Pass ACCA FM

Hi Steve. Thanks to your videos I finally passed PM in the March sitting! Unfortunately I was 2 marks off FM and will be resitting on Sep 9th. Big ask but if there's any chance of covering more FM content i.e the latest papers on the practice platform or topics such as the dividend growth model and CAPM, that would be a huge help.

Hi Steve, could you go through Section A and/or B for the FM papers please?

Hi Steve, thank you for the helpful videos! quick question re. the above please, I have seen an IRR example in the ACCA FM mock debrief and it does IRR(grabs the range) but also includes a "comma" 0.20 as a guess of the discount factor % in the formula in excel - what s the difference here please? should we just grab the range or do we also need to include the DF? thanks in advance!

Hi Steve, thanks alot for your efforts

[unbelievablycensored]

can we use this in investment appraisal f9? or will we miss out on marks because we didn't discount them to present value?

Hi Steve! Why are not you uploading any APM videos? I am so much worried about the changes made from this September 2022 session. What is your view on splitting the marks 80:20 between Theoretical marks:professional marks? Don't you think the scope of getting marks just got reduced? Would appreciate more APM videos from you. Thanks.

Dear sir whether to attempt Which section we should attempt first either A, B and C in FM exam so that we can score better?

[speedlive]

Don't we need Present Value of interest payments to calculate IRR?

Sir one doubt was about rounding off in sec A and B ques...
I have seen in some BPP ques that if ans was 169, 133.42 so to nearest whole will it be 169, 133 or 169, 134 ???

(Ans in BPP is 169, 134)

Steve, hi! Many thanks, and a request. Could you please proceed a little more slowly, overall? I suppose the kind of candidates you seem to be targeting are already so good that they probably don’t need much help. My suggestion would be that your learner base should increase a good deal if you decided to include somewhat less quick learners too.

[jayshreekrishna]

sir can you suggest from where to get past papers sec A and B sums ... that are not available on practice platform

[jayshreekrishna]

Sir please make a tutorial for ques. HGR CO. working capital management please
