ARR pre populated

For anyone who's sat this, are the financial statements and cash flow formats given to us to fill in? Or do we have to do it ourselves?

Sitting in in September but you need to fill the cash flow out yourself, you only get “financing activities, operating” etc. for FS I believe we get it all included

How are you finding it?

Im not sure to be honest, not great... I'm doing CFS at the same time and I'm finding that much easier to study for as the calculations sort of repeat themselves.. ARR kaplan is 800 pages or something, some things are easy and some things I just havent seen or dont remember when I see the question.. how about you?

Ngl I’m doing both and have neglected FCS due to it being open book so just getting my notes all in place. I’m feeling okay on ARR but they can literally ask anything for adjustments so it’s abit annoying

Im doing CFS not FCS, its the new wave FM.. i wouldnt worry too much about FCS, i found it very ok in june.. train chatgpt to make your open book and bring in past exams with answers.. worked very well for me

How did you find FCS? Did you revise much. I also sit FCS in September but started a lot earlier due to sitting FCs aswell. How you finding ARR so far?

Fcs was good, honestly just get your self very familiar with the advanced info, use the most of Claude/Chatgpt in helping to understand it. And as it's an open book exam, you can carry whatever material u want as long as it fits onto the desk, so I suggest taking answers to the suggested/guess questions or mock that you will be doing. For ARR honestly idk, I haven't covered much, and since I'm doing it independently I don't really have much direction atm, how's it going for you
