Can somebody help me. I have registered underpathway2. I am extremely finding it difficult to follow Global Issues for Financial professionals. English was my medium of education for my secondary education and as well for all of my ACCA exams. But I am finding it difficult to read and understand the English language in this particular study material. Very often I have to refer a
dictionary and in few instances it says it is an informal term. I also couldn’t understand the study materials. I have not studied AFM for my ACCA optional course. Should I have prior knowledge in this subject before I learn this particular subject. Most of my ACCA papers I have studied with the self-study materials but for this module it is extremely difficult and I planning to quit the course.@aikidoka1985 said:
APM 47 AFM 48 … no idea how to prepare for the next session, September is so far away. If I wait until July to start preparation then I would have to start almost from scratch 🙁– Sorry hear about that. Success in ACCA exam is heavily depending on continuous practice of past question papers. You have just miss the “pass” and it is advisable to practice the past question papers from now itself. All the best for your future.

Please forget that. You are not inferior. A very big congratulations to you.Thanks a lot .
It is very sad that Great Britain is highly affected by the Pandemic – Covid19. I thank for ACCA Administrators, Examiners, Markers and the staff for releasing the ACCA results on the stipulated date irrespective of all the difficulties.
I have completed APM with 50%. Now I am an affiliate. This is my third attempt after scoring 40 & 48 in my previous attempts. However I thought that my performance was much better than my previous attempts and expected a score above 55+,but I have managed to score only the minimum marks to complete the exams. I have passed P1,P2&P3 on my first attempt with the minimum mark of 50%. Completed AAA only on my 6th attempt and that was also with the minimum mark of 50%. I feel bit inferior that I have become an affiliate but failed to score a single mark above 50% in a single subject.
//Can anyone suggest which materials better Kaplan or BPP? Or learn signal // It depends on individuals. For BPP self study book you have to spend quite a lot of time to read and understand the topics. Kaplan self study note is slightly easier than BPP. I have not followed any of their online video lectures and I know that they are expensive. Learn Signal is quite cheap comparing to the other two Tuition providers. You can cover the syllabus very fast but in certain areas they have not covered the syllabus in detail. Ex: Business Process Re-engineering, EVA tm, Six sigma etc. In these cases I have referred other study notes from BPP & Kaplan. Another disadvantage with LS is their lecture notes cover only the questions prior to 2015. But the following additional positive factors also can be considered with LS. 1.24/7 – you can raise any questions regarding any doubts and usually they answer within a short time. 2. If you lack any prior knowledge or forgotten any of the stuff in PM or MA you can simply enroll for those courses and re-gain your knowledge in those area’s without any additional fees.3. With some additional payments you can answer past ACCA question papers chosen on your own and LS will mark and give their feedback within 3 days. (They call it correction pack) 4. With some additional payments you can sit for the mock exams provided by them and they will correct it and return within 3 days. This is my own experience and trust this will help you to decide.
Last session I missed it by 2 Marks. I wish to practice more questions and get it corrected for the next examination session. Can anybody give the details of any other tutors who used to provide similar facilities?

Sorry to hear that, It will help to know where you went wrong, however no hope to get extra 2 marks.. Thank you very much.
Failed with 48% . This is my second attempt. Will it be worth to apply for an administration review? Can somebody advise me. It may help me to identify the area in which I need the improvements? However I cannot remember the questions now and I am afraid that ACCA did not publish any question from the Decemebr’19 Session for the sample examination questions.
This is the second time I am being a finalist. Similar to previous examination session I could not see “affiliate” anywhere in e-business. I think I am 99% sure that I have failed. They have published the sample Question paper from Sep/Dec’19 Question papers. I think that they have selected only one 25 marks question from Decmber’19 for APM paper. Again it is difficult for us to find out the reason for the failure.

Did anyone just get an acca mail right now? From student accountant? It says ‘new wellbeing resources +Recommending ACCA + exam entry
Did anyone receive this?Yes I got this email
You log on to Myacca and under the exam status and results you will find the request for Administrative Service. (AR)
Can anybody remember the last part of APM – September 2019. I can remember there is something about NPV and standard deviation. How should we apply the standard deviation figure to this particular question. Anybody knows about any technical article relating to this area of APM.
If you spend the reading time of 15 minutes to read all 3 questions I think it is only after 1.30 hours time to you can attempt the second question. Therefore I think it is advisable to spend the entire 15 minutes planning time to read the first question and trying to finish it with the next 1.30 hours. For the second and third questions balance 1.30 hours can be utilized. There is no choice among the questions and therefore you need not spend your time on any questions which you are not supposed to answer.
For strategic professional stage the Administrative review (AR) will only indicate whether you have passed in a question or not and no additional information. Am I correct?
Failed with 40. Being the first time finalist and from my experience the link theory is true (I could not view the word affiliate in my source page). I do not know the exact reasons for my failure and I do not have any doubt over the marking procedures of ACCA. However an administrative procedure may indicate which questions I have passed and which questions I have failed. ACCA is not publishing the question paper and therefore is it worth to apply for Administrative review?

Have you tried to access link: https://portal.accaglobal.com/portal/page/portal/ACCA_PORTAL_PAGES/ACCA_STUDENTS#?Thanks. I am not in a position to access to this page.An error message appears.
@byron1976 , Thanks for your kindness. There is no hope.
Thank you. I know that I have failed in my P5 and should get ready to sit for this paper in December 19session
I sat for P5. the last paper. I could not see the word affiliate in my source page. According to the link theory I am almost sure that I have failed. I am only waiting for official ACCA results to find out that how I have preformed (Marks I have scored). Advanced wishes for all the successful Students and prospective affiliates.
I just got 50% and passed the exam. Previous attempts.33,49,31&45. As a student entirely depending on self study I thank for Learn Signal – ACCA correction pack facility for me to practice the past question papers under examination conditions and got it corrected and getting the valuable feedback. You have to pay additional fees for it but it is really worth.
This time ACCA has published the question papers and the suggested answers. This will help the students who have filed in the exams to identify the reasons for their failure. Previously we have to go through the examiners comments without the question paper!!!!. Hope ACCA will continue this practice in the future examination sessions also.
@Nga, thank you very for your positive feedback. In my previous exam in June 18, I had left with only 40 minutes to answer 40% of the last two questions – My performance was 49. At that time I believed that my time management was the biggest issue and practiced a lot & in this session I had left with 35 minutes to complete the last 25 Marks question. But my biggest disappointment is not my failure but the marks I have scored i.e 31 – it is dropped by 18. Thanks for informing that they have published the question paper for Sep’18 & now they have published the suggested answer also. I think this will definitely help me to identify the reasons for such a lower mark. I have not followed any face to face lectures and only followed web courses of Learn Signal. This time I will definitely do their mock exam and planning to do any other mock exams provided by other tutors also and to find out the reasons for my failure.
My previous attempts it was 23,33 & 49. I thought I have done little better than my previous attempt. But I have scored only 31. Could not believe. I am thinking of giving up ACCA.
//Maybe someone can benefit from my technique. From my own experience at professional level starting wth question 1 is a disaster, you will be fresh and you can get carried away on question 1. I usually start with the most easiest and shorter and quickly bury it below 40minutes then go to Question 1 and start with shortest parts and even if l spend time there l shld make sure l finish it THEN write a conclusion so that it is a complete report to get FREE PROFESSIONAL MARKS. Then finish with the remaining question even if 20minutes is left l start with small sections then if l do not hv time to read the final part l just write an answer from the moon – like l did not hv time to read that part talking about LEASE and l just guessed it is a DISPOSAL AND LEASEBACK and l said the assets should not be removed from the ASSET REGISTER For assets sold and leaseback. Therefore removing writing off the assets will understate the Assets and UNDERSTATE liabilities. // Whether it is an easy question or not you have to spend the time on reading long paragraphs and decide.
