Difficulty over time

Did perceived difficulty match the real AAA result?

Across the 31-session history, blue shows the share who selected “Easy” or “OK”; red shows ACCA's official global pass rate. A falling blue line means the exam felt harder.

Read the numbers properly

What these ACCA pass-rate comparisons can—and cannot—tell you

01

Use the official rate for the global picture

ACCA's figure is the percentage of relevant completed exams that achieved a pass. It is not the average mark and it does not predict your personal result.

02

Treat OpenTuition results as a community snapshot

Students choose whether to vote. Users who prepared with OpenTuition, passed, or felt strongly about an exam may be more likely to respond.

03

Check the sample before comparing gaps

June 2026 result polls range from 12 to 156 responses by exam. Small polls can move sharply after only a few votes.

04

Remember that CBE timing is different

BT, MA, FA and LW use OpenTuition's rolling 2026 CBE polls, while the other exams use June-session polls. ACCA's June publication also includes on-demand results.
