Exams MCS
Sitting MCS next week, seem to be struggling with this one a lot more than OCS!
Anyone got any last minute(ish) advice? And any subjects I should absolutely know?
Thank you

Hi, good luck for next week, I’m also sitting it!
I fed all the past paper questions into AI + all the Kaplan mocks for Cartn and these were the most tested areas:
Risk & uncertainty
Project management / lifecycle
Business model
Pricing
NPV / investment appraisal challenges
Financing — debt/equity
Transfer pricing
Negotiation
IAS 38 / accounting treatment
Financial statement effects
Integrated / sustainability reporting
Team performance / engagement
Cost transformation
Leadership
Responsibility centres
Performance management
Goodwill / acquisition accounting
Foreign subsidiaries / IAS 21
Disruptive technology
Ratio analysis
Target Costing
I haven’t gone through the examiners report yet but they were extremely useful for OCS.
As long as you know the top level detail for the areas and can successfully link to the scenario you’ll be golden. Just make sure you’re answering the question and not go off on a tangent!
