I was certain I failed. I really did not feel that anxious about the results as I felt I had no chance of passing the exam.
Thank God I’m finally finished.
Best of luck to everyone with the results.
Pass rates are up
@ Dorota you were spot on..
@MS.I changed from ACA after passing 9 exams so I had my FAE’s to complete which is 3 papers. I elected to change to ACCA even though I had 6 papers to complete (I Had to do F4)
There were a number of reasons for this
1. The horror stories of how difficult the FAE’s were.
2. FAE’s being held once a year
3. So far I’ve found the ACCA papers to be more technically difficult as individual papers but there is more flexibility in terms of many papers you can sit.
4. Also if you are sitting a P2 exam at least you know your being judged on financial accounting rather than trying to guess which “indicator ” it may be..Thanks @Kumaran for some reason I thought we got it before the results..
During my 15 minutes reading time I was doing my journals on the exam paper.. after that I used my exam booklet..
I think I picked up the bulk of my marks in Q2 & Q3 I showed that I had learned the Isa’s by describing the standard and how it applied to the scenario… I really felt I was guessing for too much of the exam but I tried to show as much competence as I could…
I had sat 9 ACA exams before switching to ACCA so I really felt I had done a very weak paper…
It would be very beneficial for students to have their exam papers returned to them so that we can see first hand how exams are marked..
I sat my first ACCA paper (P2) in December 2013..
Q1 was a Cashflow which I had not practiced and it showed because I messed it up in the exam.
I did a lot of my calculations on the Exam Paper as I stupidly thought would it would be placed inside my exam booklet when collected by the Invigilators…
I thought I would have scored in 30’s but luckily enough I scored 61%..
With P2 it’s very hard to figure out the marking system as it is very subjective. I have to say I think the examiner was generous in marking my paper not that I’m complaining.
I’m based in Ireland and have 3 papers left. P3,P4 & P5. I’m sitting P3 & P5 in December.
My understanding is that these papers will be available to me for September 2015.
Congratulations Tejot that’s a fantastic achievement.
To score 90 in a P2 exam is exceptional.
