    Hi all

    I was wondering if a failure in any of the fundamental papers (once or twice for the same paper for example) will affect your eligibility or the degree classification?

    I will appreciate if you would give a quick response, I’m kind of worried after today’s paper :'(

    I would also like to know this answer, i have completed all the F papers and passed now (with 3 fails along the way!!!).. will the average %calc be based on the first time you sit the papers if this has been a fail? If so no point in me even bothering, i do already have a degree but an accounting degree would be nice too 🙂

    Help me decide.. also i probably wouldnt start until all the other exams are finished is this allowed??

    Thanks

    As far as I know fails do not affect your average score it is the pass mark that contributes to your average total previous failures don’t affect it.

    A failure in any paper doesn’t affect your BSc. degree. Your average will be calculated on the papers when you pass them, so don’t worry.

    Thats good news then!

    How much does it cost to do the OBU? And once you have chosen your topic what is the deadline to hand in? What tuition is offered?

    My average for f4-f9 is only 57.5.. if they round up i guess that will be 58% and then have to achieve a A in RAP to get a 2:1, i want to do this but already have a 2.1 degree. Might not be worth the hassle but any additional strings to the bow are a bonus i guess.

    Thanks

    Also does the topic you read have to be one they suggest? Or are there areas of accounting and you choose a area and come up with your own title and focus?
