Hey guy,
I had fail twice for P1.
For second attempt(June 2015), I have 100% confidence that I’ll pass.but the result come out with fail. I had request for appeal after checking the suggested answer and realize that I had match the point. Finally, the appeal result still saying I fail and didnt change in my mark.
Any advice? What wrong with it? Is possible my hand writing not nice, so the examiner skip some question to mark?(this is what I think) or admin didnt scan every pages of my answer to examiner?
Really need help.
I had waste money to appeal and feeling ACCA just want cheat student money.
Anyone face this issue before?Every effort is made to decipher the hand-writing of students and there is no way that any ACCA marker will have skipped any of your script because of your illegibility.
This is confirmed by the review that you paid for
Failure to scan your full script can also not be a cause of your result – again, it will have been caught by the review process.
Now, the review. Spending your money will have achieved one positive – it will have shown the ACCA that their system of script distribution and marking has not let them down.
As for the decision to ask for an administrative review …… we have always said on this site that you may as well save your money. The review process is not a re-mark.
However, you wanted reassurance that your whole script had been been assessed and, to that end, your money wasn’t wasted. On reflection, though, maybe you’ll think twice next time before you ask for review.
Just have a bit of faith, i also failed twice, in fact i know everything but have no idea whats wrong. You may contact me on +265 993 212 213, if u wana help out each other
i would ask “did you really understood the concepts of p1?”
i tried p1 once in 2014 june i failed for 6 marks. i was using bpp guides. now, i am preparing again for p1. i am using becker and kaplan. when i read becker i understood lot of concepts. they have written so nicely.
you may have to read additional articles related to topics. so you get better understanding of p1 topics.
search in google for cima articles pwc articles.
for example CSR cima, risk assessment pwc. the articles from those are good.you have to practice question papers a lot.
also read exmainer reports

Hi Patrick,
I am facing problems very similar to you. I am an older guy (48) with 20+ years experience in accounting and controlling, and to be honest, a lot of concepts in P1 represent wishful thinking, at least in my view. Also in my view, P1 is a subject with no borders; the big question of passed/ not passed depends on many subjective factors.
(E.g: I don’t really understand why an accountant has to deal with the concept of categorical imperative from Kant. This is pure philosophy).I would personally suggest that we should spend as much time as possible with practicing questions (past exam papers). Sooner or later, the terminology used in the papers will be a hands-on knowledge and this may help you to pull through the exam. This needs tons of patience and learning but I see no other way to pass.
Cheers,
Gabor
