I sat June’s P2 exam and failed with 45%, so I’m going to sit September’s SBR exam whilst I’ve retained some of the knowledge of the syllabus even though I feel like I’ve forgotten most of stuff, so going over the syllabus again will take a bit of revision. I also have BPP pass assurance, so I’ll be able to retake their courses again.
I’m stuck on what exam to take in December and the ones after that. The pass rates for the optional papers scare me. I was thinking about doing the SBL paper in December but it’s recommended to spend more time on this exam than any others if, I was also thinking about P5 but since it’s been over a year since doing F5 is it advisable to do the exam in under 3 months?
P.S I work full-time
July 17, 2018 at 3:02 pm #463494You should definitely concentrate on getting SBR under your belt.
As you say you work full-time only you can say whether you have enough time to prepare for another exam in December. Over a year is not that long – it’s probably more relevant whether you “scraped a pass” in F5 or you passed it well.
As a starting point, take a look at the ACCA syllabus and study guide for APM – how much looks familiar to you? You could easily test your knowledge of F5 by attempting one of the CBEs (e.g. D16) or Section C questions from one of the more recent hybrid exams.July 17, 2018 at 4:16 pm #463517I sat the exam in March 2017 and got 55%, so I didn’t pass it with a high score. I work in industry which is why I thought it would be more relevant to do P5 and P4 (passed F9 with 60%). I didn’t enjoy tax and auditing at all so I think I might avoid these papers.
