ACCA Administrative Review
ACCA Administrative Review explained for students who had a marginal fail, scored 48-49 marks.
If you are unhappy with your exam result, then you can ask the ACCA for an administrative review.
This review will NOT mean that your exam is remarked.
The ACCA will only check that the marks have been added up and recorded correctly.
They will also tell you whether each question passed or failed, but they will NOT tell you the marks for each question.
You must enclose the appropriate fee (per paper):
CAT – Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced Level (per paper) – £42
ACCA Qualification Knowledge Module (per paper) – £42
ACCA Qualification Skills Module (per paper) – £47
ACCA Qualification Professional Level (per paper) – £52
ACCA Qualification Dip FM (per paper) – £52
Here is the official (but out of date) ACCA administrative review page on ACCA Global website
Paddle27 your comment is great! You have learnt the ACCA course well.You have shown the ACCA that they should practice what they preach.Well done – one up for you.
you can not pass an exam you have already failed so the review is an insult to us students ACCA fears they can lose they are credibility if they make you pass after the review .so do not waste you time
acca is not as truthful and genuire as their ethics espouse. how can a review be re- aggregation of marks. the managers of the acca only think of themselves to detriment of the poors in society.
The review is out of sense because the checking is made by those who mark the answers of students like self-review which, in idea, should be avoided by ACCA but factually is important part of malpractice in ACCA
Thanks guys, was thinking of getting one but it really makes no sense, to have people thinking that their marking scheme is excellent they will not change anything. Will take next attempt.
I would agree that no student should pay for an administrative review. My only question (which I doubt if anyone can answer) is who actually carries out the review? Is it ACCA or an independent third party? If ACCA carry out this review then surely this is a “self review threat”?
do not waste your money,only thing they sent you is some answers,which you can get it free from the website.you will not get a pass.
We all know that late payment of exam fees are more than the double of normal payments.they only want money.Dont waste your money in reviewing please…
Dont waste your money you cant pass your exam by doing this.we are now half accountant and we know how to make money by doing this type of things.reviewing is a way to make money.im not following ACCA.i know what i have to do.just work hard and pass your papers yourself…
there is no on such things as review or remarking.we are cashcows to acca and uk government.lets not waste money on such things.lets just fall and stand up we will make it eventually.

If ACCA thinks there is a need for review they should do it before the results are released instead of this money making no job done business of Review.
Uk government need funds, acca milking cow for uk
Absolutely Bull shyt.. I scored 49 in F8.. I was very confident in this paper my only downfall is my hand writing.. I feel that i was robbed , but this review makes no sense..ACCA needs to be getting scrutinize because I feel they are getting away with alot of things…
ACCA has become a fundraising accountancy body. Marks to award candidates are just decided. Their focus is making more money from students. The best thing ACCA can do is to send back the script to a complaining candidate so that he/she can cross check with the suggested answers and see where the shortfalls are other than the so called Administrative Reviews.
What is the procedure for an administrative review do you just fill the form and post it to the address given or can you email it? and do they send you a written notification that the received the form by email? and does the feedback you get is it by an email or is it given to you by post?
thanks in advance
“They will also tell you whether each question passed or failed”
What does it mean,is it that getting more than half the marks is a pass?

“is it that getting more than half the marks is a pass?”
Yes, if 10 mark question, 5 or more is a pass
what a rip off.
i really agreed with all said because i realised that they are just interested in making money out of students
dont waste your money , instead pay for the next attempt, beacause acca will not award you extra mark
A waste of money. i also had review of my f4.. nothing changed
This admin review is simply a waste of money. Whether your mark is 45 or 49 they will NOT change it. Might as well use that money to resit the paper.
ssame here i have requested for a remark before and i think even when you deserve at least a 50 out of pride and maintaining their reputation they will still fail you, though i feel its really unfair. and they will send your results way late so you cannot make 2nd appeal. why not mark the paper together with me online..
I had 49 at F4 two years ago and I asked them to review my marks.Personally I think they will not change anything.do not waste your money.
