I was so shocked to get a 42% mark and fail. I’ve retaken this exam several times and at this point I know the theory and got a good handle on the easy mistake to comment on performance itself instead of the management of performance..
I prepared with Kaplan and my final mock before the exam was marked with 80%
On the day of the exam it went better than any other ACCA exam has ever gone. My pen was on fire and I managed my time well. I did the questions consequtively, so there is no chance I missed any of them. I was smiling towards the end of the exam and walked away feeling I really smashed this one finally.

42% is miles away from 50%, but I was expecting 65-70%. I know I wrote good, even, structured answers throughout. I’m seriously wondering I they missed adding at least 10-15 points to my total. I have failed many times and have no problem accepting failure and moving on to retake. But this time it is impossible that I failed.

I’m applying for an admin review. I know they don’t remark the exam, but something has gone wrong here. It will be my first time applying for an admin review. I can’t even find the link on the acca website! I’m pretty sure they will dismiss me, but I will bring it to the next level review too.

Generally the lack of transparency in the ACCA marking process is really appalling! I think they risk making themselves irrelevant due to this.
