IAS 38 is tested almost in every sitting. Why? Because even if a company is a manufacturing one, still, it will have lots of Intangible Assets https://www.linkedin.com/in/accatutor/
This standard is tested frequently in the Financial Reporting exam and you may have a feeling that it's quite easy. Well...no...

As a Tutor, I often see people reading the standard just to get acquainted with the concept. And then they get a question on Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 inputs in the exam and panick. Or they get a question where they need to explain which of the valuations can and cannot be chosen. Strangely enough, IFRS 13 is tested quite often.
