i have absolutely no idea how i managed to pass with 63% as i was convinced i had absolutely flunked it. clearly better at tax than i thought! the stress and 6am wake ups were all worth it!
I’ve never worked so hard at an exam and been so brutally underprepared. I hated the paper, I was done in an hour and a half but just because I had a better chance at stabbing in the dark than I did trying to use any actual knowledge. I tried my hardest to try to salvage anything, but I know it’ll be a retake. So annoying to get this far through and to have never failed an exam but hey.
I wanted IT and CT to come but but it felt like all my questions were admin or just really weird. There was something about progressive tax and I hadn’t even come across that in all of the studying I had covered. It was just a weird paper, nothing like the mocks I had seen.
66%, so happy with my result and need to get to sleep now but struggling to! i passed FR with 66% too in September so now thinking that’s the only score i’m capable of!?
Thanks John, that’s really useful to know and actually really reassuring. I use kaplan for study texts/exam kits but use opentuition as a side resource too as I’ve always found it really helpful and explained very clearly. It’s not my first ACCA exam and I managed to pass all the others first time so I am hoping I am successful in December too.
Again, that’s such useful information. Thank you!
Having just passed, I recommend as many questions as possible on this exam. Consolidation of single entities, consolidation of groups, CSPL and CSFP are so important. ratio analysis and understanding what they do and how to explain them is really key. Cash flows, financial instruments and provisions. I wouldn’t worry about some of the smaller topics that may only come up in section a. The videos on youtube from open tuition are fantastic and the mock exams on ACCA website are great. I used kaplan and have always found their exam kits fantastic. Good luck!
