Hi all
I was hoping to get an advise from anyone of you on if I should just stop doing ACCA completely.
I just got my results for F5 and F6 and failed both of them on my third attempt for F6(46) and second attempt for F5(46). I have been resitting them for like a year now but I am just going no where and I feel like a complete failue already.
I used to work full time as a finance assistant and blamed it mostly for not having enough time to study when I failed but this time around I was working part time and had plenty of time to study which I did but I still failed. My work pays for my studies buy they don’t pay for resits. I have spent so much of my money, time and energy on something that I just keep failing and I am very very frustuated at this stage.
I don’t know where I am going wrong or if my study process is completely useless. I even went through all of Mr Moffats lectures and did additional past papers using my Kaplan exam kit. I believe I am a smart girl and passed my A-levels with A in Maths, B in accounting and B in business. At that time, I thought it was a perfect career choice and I enjoyed accounting and thought would get through ACCA easily. But now, I am starting to doubt my choice and feel like I have finally hit the wall.
I just want to know if anyone has gone through this stage of complete failure and exhaution. I was planning to do F7 but I think I will fail that too 100% and every time I open my book I feel very exhausted, stressed, demotivated, slightly depressed and don’t want to spent all my time ang energy only to fail again and again and again. But at the same time I don’t know what else I would do if I give this up…
And the sad thing is that I am just starting on skills level and have 10 more modules to go. :'(
I would appreciate any sort of help and advise from you all. What did you do to overcome the defeat? Should I do it one last time before I give up completely?
Thank you
Hi Barsha,
I understand where you are coming from and how you’re feeling. I know for sure you are not on your own on this journey, there are a number of people who go through this stage. Failing does not mean you are incapable. More often than not, it is about exam techniques, which up until now, I am still learning.
There was a point when I stopped and nearly gave it all up, but then I later realised, if I truly want to be an accountant, I have to be chartered. You will find that there are people here who have done resits more than 3 times or even more. I think you may want to review your study habit and find what works best for you. Try not to compare yourself with other people, cause everyone is different and remember to keep a positive mind-set.
At the end of the day, if you want to be an accountant and ACCA qualified, then I think it is worth every pain to achieve your goal, don’t you think?
Start slowly and step by step, don’t give up!

Hi Eagledave
Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel a lot more positive after reading your reply. I guess I need to reevaluate my exam techniques and try to attempt just 1 paper at a time. I wont be doing F5 and F6 this June as I have already started on F7. Just need to let go of all the negativity and just focus on my goal.
Thank you again….?
No problem, Barsha! Anytime, just message if you need help. Open Tuition is a great resource and you will find a lot of support from both the tutors and students.
Cheers!
