Going a course where one has no interest.
Flying colors in ACCA does not also mean excellent work performance afterwards. Some are just gifted. The question is, how does ACCA tap into such knowledge which their exams tends to bury away? It is obvious such individuals can not cop the exams. “Tough does not mean excellent.” ACCA exams are about how quickly you can burn those brain cells and be able to figure out the answers quickly. But what about the slow learners?
Actually all of six reasons have equal importance.There should be balance between.Any of them could become a reason of students failure in exam.Every one has its unique and specific weakness.
Firstly, the publishers release text book too late, hence givin students a short spave of time to revise, also, ACCA structures in a way that is too confusing, not forgeting the time given to complete the exma is not sufficient
BPP are the best. I transferred to Kaplan for the fundamental levels but it did not really helped as much as BPP did. I would recommend you to study with BPP textbooks.
The other reason is because good things are hard to get. Just imagine if 95% of the students were to be passing each sitting. This would make ACCA to become worthless.
Experiene tells me that most students are studying for the sake of passing examininations without understanding and knowing the subject matter in and out. As such we fail to pass the examinination when cornered with a problem in an examination room. Of course its the wish of everybody to pass the examinination at the first attempt. This makes us concentrate on probable examination areas leaving the possibles hence we fail.
@zemsoko, with the short space of time and the amount of work that has to be completed before the exam, it cannot be expected of students to no every nity gritty to do with the particular course….its a hassle especially part time
phone the open learning centre (04 796160) and ask for mr. muguri, he’s a lecturer but he’s also the author of the best f6 study text and revision kit for zwe.he can get you a copy.
i failed one acca paper and that was f6 and the reasons i feel was the stupid exam centre in which the tables were too short and it was soo difficult to write on it and secondly i just got nervous for no reason in exam hall and in pressure paper wasnt finished on time
I think the main problem is not enough knowledge on the subject, I am doing self study F1 & F2, its really very hard for me:( I am saying this because its really hard to understand the notes sometimes. not only that , i do appreciate that open tuition really provides us with good stuff, but still its just really hard and boring to study alone! and the worst thing is that, I am planning to quit ACCA after my june exams:( and thats not really good..
Hi..currently i am studying F1-F3 on a part time basis especially with F 2 …and i am having difficulty in balancing the work and studies.What,how or techniques do you recommend me the possible way on getting me to get through the upcoming exams.Thanks.
@aiman959, well u should post this in General Forum, since u hav asked, my suggestion would depend on ur working hours. Since i have been working for last 2 yrs and studyng at the same tym, i also face problem since i have late sittings most of the time, but the best practice would be to atleast give half or one hr after work.
I would rather say all the reasons would affect your result, but the main reason is the pressure of that situation. I fail mainly bcoz of this reason.. I know everything in the paper but the pressure fails me…
From experience, I would say inadequate question practice by students is the prime reason for failures in the exam.
ACCA is very organised and will never go out of the syllabus. It is not enough covering the whole syllabus; as a matter of fact that is just the beginning!
If a student does enough question practice (under TIMED EXAM CONDITION – Very important) there is no way such student will not at least attain the pass mark in the real exam.
Time management is one of the main problems as highlighted by the examiner frequently. But why this problem is being repeated by examinees so often? Personally, I feel, some of the case study scenarios were written too for a 50-marker. As a result, the additional 15 minutes reading time is being compromised.
@kono, True! The 15 minutes given is too little time to plan the whole paper. The 3 hours given is broken down into 1.8 minutes per mark and students tend to start using part of the time that they are required to write on the answer sheet still planning. Therefore overshooting the time on each question. Ultimately unable to complete the last questions. I think this is the main reason for failure..
Most of the students at this level should be employed (whether part-timely or permanently). for this reason their level of concentration is divided bwtn studies and work. so there might not be enough time for preparations if time is poorly managed.

Poor time allocation
conceptual problem..i think some reason for failure in exam is just because of concepts.logic of topics sometime not cleared.

@@
may be not properly guided
not practicing past papers enough, and sometimes not understanding the exams question it self.

BPP are the best. I transferred to Kaplan for the fundamental levels but it did not really helped as much as BPP did. I would recommend you to study with BPP textbooks.

@aiman959, it is a good question,
please post it on General ACCA forums

I am really troubled about f6 zwe text. Does anyone know where I can get one! Thanks in advance for assistance guys

Looking for more comments to improve ourselves!
speachless…..and looking all ov ur comments buddies….:-)

Because Lack of practice & Lack of confidence.its main reasons.
Most of the students at this level should be employed (whether part-timely or permanently). for this reason their level of concentration is divided bwtn studies and work. so there might not be enough time for preparations if time is poorly managed.
Sometimes its the vagueness of the question and writing an answer to what you thought the question asked
yes there should be on day gap…………..must be there………..for those students whose house is far away from examination hall……….ACCA should notice that
Not giving a day between exam paper is another factor for me i believe,from previous experience.Was to tire for the next paper.
