Though I was going to fail. Scraped a 53.
No complaints as I go in to study FM this weekend

You are not alone, I have the same feeling – give up ACCA, I enrolled ACCA since December 2015, I take one paper each time, I passed F9 first time, but F5 is not an easy paper for me, I’ve got 45 % this time, it is the fifth time, I still have F7 and F8 to pass in order to study profession level papers. I work full time and self- funded, I am in my early 50’s, is it worth to do ACCA in my age? Please advise me, thanks.At it’s most basic level, yes it’s worth it, age is irrelevant.
F5 is a difficult paper, particularly if you are not of the Management Accounting mindset. I would suggest that your repeated failure is not due to lack of skill, but the result of apathy and having a psychological impact during your exams.
My advice would be to set this paper aside for the time being and do F7 & F8. All being well you can return to F5 refreshed.
This is a marathon, not a race. So what if others are getting there before you, screw them. You’re doing this for you, not for them. Yes you are having a tough time, but that does not mean you should give up.
My advice: don’t take multiple papers each sitting. Do one and give it everything. Splitting your focus is not doing you any favours, neither finacially, nor academically.
