pass 馃檪 f8 -54 second attempt lol, p2 -56
@irisc, tnx to OT for the free resources
fail p1 again sad
Thanks to GOD i pass f8 with 64%
p4 is easy to pass compare to last time.. i am wondering should take p5 or p7 now..
@1772503, I finally am afiiliate, I passed p5 at the fourth attempt with 53, while I passed all others first attempt! included P7.
I wouldnt recomment P5 to annyone the man is crazy and the questions are just blurry
@billbest, Me also atempted p5 for the first time & i got 66 n let me tell u tht I hv prepared p5 onself basis within a month may b in 20 days so how u can say that choosing p5 is not good, its all about ur skills and concepts u have …….
@ahsanpervez, stil since the new examiner started, the pass levels have been in the lowest of all papers..35%,35%,29% and now 35%.
but everyone is different as you said, and that is my personnal opinion of course 馃檪
@1772503, I sat for the first time and I got 75. Alex Watt’s questions are so much easier now as compared to the meticulous calculations under Shane Johnson last time. You have greater flexibility in answering the questions, but you just need to understand the question requirements very, very carefully.
@angryhamtaro, Mind to share with me how did you prepared for your P5 exam. I’m thinking to take P5 on this coming exam. Last paper to go. Tq.
@rosemary, you may like to refer to the P5 forum whereby I post similar comments to other forumers.
In addition to that, I studied P5 differently by expanding my horizons beyond the text book. I look for case studies that illustrate the application of models (ie. Google up India’s Tata Nano used Target Costing. It has a great story behind the use of the theory.)
Good luck, and as usual be prepared. Some students may comment that question requirements from Alex Watt are unclear, but in my perspective, the wording sparks clarity because of the extra time I took to understand the Examiner’s Approach to P5.
F2 was very dificult for me in the exams though entrying the exam hall i knew that i know everything
Hello, I am now an ACCA affiliate. I have passed and written 12 papers in 6 sittings (granted 2 exemptions). I have just written and passed P2, which was not as challenging as one thinks. Let me give all students a word of advice. DO NOT spend alot of time reading the theory (a little more time on P1 & P3). Focus on PAST PAPERS. If you do all the past papers available on accaglobal – you will see every type of question, all standards, and you will ace the exam. I have NEVER spent more than 2 weeks preparing for ANY paper, and I only ever failed P5 once, and passed on the next sitting. Passing exams is all about your exam technique, and this will be mastered by doing past papers. As you go through the answers, write notes on theoretical/ standards that have been tested. So in short FORGET the theory and reading the whole text. PAST PAPERS= PASSES. In P2, know some theory & standards as EASY marks are available outside the consolidation question & readup on Exposure Drafts. I didnt, but still passed even though an ED question came up. In truth ACCA content is broad, too broad, so focus on a question based study program. You can thank me when u PASS. Good luck
@jonathanpike, thank you so much for the advice i must keep your points in my mind when preparing for exams
@ovaiskhan, Wel i think u should hav broad knowledge , though past papers help u a lot and I also believe that they are essential if u want to hav good technique but u should hav good knowledge as well and for that i wil say that u should go through whole theory atleast once, yup if u hav time of 2 weaks as my friend mentioned then go for past papers and other quick stuff to make ur paper pass but remember u also need knowledge , broad knowledge
@jonathanpike, thank you for your advice, i think that’s the best way to prepare for ACCA exams.
I got both P6&P3. Now only one paper left. I am confused whether to take P7 or P4. Is there any option to write any of the optional papers after becoming an affiliate?
Awaiting your reply…………..
@krishnamr007, if you are interested in finance go for p4 but remember it is too difficult and if you are interested in audit go for p 7. if u want to pass easily take p7 and when qualified u can then set for p4
@rkhan79, Thanks a lot.
I may opt for P7 as the other students feel that it is comparitively easier than P4. do you know about the procedures for attempting the other optional papers after becomig an affiliate? DO we have to intimate ACCA in advance before becoming an affiliate?
@krishnamr007, unless I am more interested in finance than in audit I think P4 is the most difficult one! and ppl that set for p7 told me that it’s pretty easy. up to you but i do not recommend p4 at all 馃檪
however it is interesting 馃槈
@liudmila, Thanks a lot………….. as suggested let me try P7.
@liudmila, interesting that you feel that P7 is easy. June 2012 was a 32% pass rate – the lowest of all the ACCA exams.
i can’t believe this result. fail in both F2 and F3. but i have studied this two subjects in my first degree and business account in both O level and A level.
@Aahdey ali, So …. get practising multiple choice questions – as many as you can get your hands on. In one of the publishers’ revision kit there are around two thousand ( from memory ) questions. Do those … and then do them again. And then again. And again. Do not mark your answer in the book itself – put your answers on a separate piece of paper
Pass rates much improved across the board except for F9 P4 and P7.
Passed F8 on my 4th try; I though i would never get past this!
fail on P1 again (sad)
fail on P1, so sad
@jammiezeng, Passed P1 on my 1st try and I’m overjoyed! I did no class nor revisions sessions.Thanks to OT
imo you need very good understanding of ACCOUNTING standards not just auditing standards. Its like how can you audit if you do not know your accounting. So focus on key standards. I managed to pass 1st time and I do not work in accounting or auditing environment.
Why though is P7 so hard to pass… I’m gonna be attempting this in Dec 2012 and nervous from all now….
Passing P2 in my first try is an amazing feeling. Even though I scraped through with 51 it’s still a PASS….
OT thank you so much for providing this service.
BIg ups to open tuition I got 64% in paper F4… Thank You
Can’t believe i had 63% in F5…..thought ill write again. Praise God, I’m very happy and forging ahead
