    I took the pass rates from ACCAs homepage from 2007 till December 2017. These are the averages I got. It really seems like performance management and audit is what the students are struggling with the most. P5, F5, P7 and F8 are all in the top 6 exams with lowest pass rates.

    P5 33.50
    P7 34.15
    P4 35.04
    P6 38.92
    F8 40.27
    F5 40.27
    F9 42.00
    F7 44.00
    F6 48.58
    P2 49.04
    P3 49.54
    P1 49.96
    F4 56.64
    F2 59.45
    F3 60.55
    F1 74.95

    Thank you. Very interesting. All the option papers at the top of the pile. And the entry level papers right at the bottom. Makes one wonder!!!

    What I found strange is that P1-P3 have higher pass rates than F5-F9

    Agreed. The pass rates for P2 are high considering how hard that paper is. For me, this is one paper where the pass rate does not reflect the level of difficulty.

    Maybe many people give up between F5-F9 since they are not passing. So the people that do P1-P3 are better prepared.
