I got 74 in f3 78 in f1 and 80 in f2. Are these marks good enough? And how much difficulty should I expect in skills module.
January 9, 2016 at 10:39 am #293897good enough for what?
You need 50 to pass, the mark is pretty much irrelevant, theres no grading level like with a degree. if you passed with 99, or 50, you passed, thats it really, your mark isnt recognised anywhere. You might get an award from ACCA if you got 99 though
January 9, 2016 at 11:41 am #293901Don’t some employers see the marks you get?
January 9, 2016 at 11:49 am #293902no, not unless you were to show them
I have heard of employers asking for first time passes in some instances, and maybe some ask for marks, but i’ve known anyone be asked
January 9, 2016 at 12:02 pm #293903Will my chances of getting a job improve due to good marks, then? If I choose to show them the marks?
January 9, 2016 at 3:39 pm #293924Dont know, if i was the employer probably not really, it might help, but id be more interested in your experience, not what marks you got in your exams. No employer or potential employer i have interviewed for has every asked me about marks
I cant talk for everyone, I imagine the big 4 would be interested, or some sort of practice
But good marks show you have made a good effort, I would say 78 / 80 are well above average
January 9, 2016 at 5:06 pm #293926But sir, I am a full time student with no experience, so I guess employers won’t be looking for my experience. So what would be their criteria for selection?
January 10, 2016 at 12:29 pm #293980I fully agree with carl29.
Your marks are just a number… anything above 50 is pretty much the same, a pass.
1st time passes are good to boast about on your CV and in any interviews (employers have also been known to specifically ask for 1st times passes as a recuitment criteria)… but once you have more than 4, 5 years of quality WorkEx under your name these points just become trivialities and lose all significance whatsoever.
Of course, unless we’re talking about your F7, F8 and F9 exams where your scores will have an impact on what degree classication you will get, IF you decide on applying for the Oxford Brookes Degree in Applied Accounting (I’m not up-to-date on this degree’s specifics and requirements as I never pursued it).
