I passed with 55%, not amazing to some of you, but to me, a miracle ? Yes, I studied hard and was not convinced I had done enough in the exam. I stuck to the time allowed for each exam question and then moved on once I reached that time. I doubt I would have passed at all if I hadn’t.
Congratulations to all those who passed and commiserations to those who didn’t. Please do not give up, most of us have failed exams, it is one of those things that builds you as a personNo comfort to anyone, but I did the same.
I did answer all parts of the question as I allowed 40 minutes for reading/answer planning and then 2 minutes per mark for answering. Once my time was up I moved on leaving blank paper so I could come back to them at the end.
Not saying I think I have passed though. It was a tricky exam. More BCS than models?
Passed with 52%. Really pleased with the result. Thank you OT as used your lectures and just bought a revision book
Congratulations to everyone who have passedThere were the usual tricky questions which concentrated more on your understanding of the English language rather than general understanding of FM.
NPV was ok. Discussed Risk and Uncertainty over the guess on sales and how they could minimise this risk.
I started writing about pecking order theory when it came to using dividends for the 18k project but believe I was taking the wrong road so discussed M & M dividend irrelevance and traditional theory and signalling effectStill not certain I did enough as I’m sure we all know how that feels. Only six weeks to wait though
Ok, so we have done with the theories….we are behaving as the professionals we are supposed to be and are now waiting patiently. Good luck to all. I, myself will not be surprised to have failed my exam. But I will be sharing, pass or fail, in just a few hours
It is unhelpful to suggest that the only reason that anyone who found the exam tough, were those that did not study/revised hard.
There are lots of reasons that people could have found it difficult and we should show respect to everyone who has spent their time and money in taking these exams.
Please remember that we are all here to support each other.Ppfffttttt, I do not know where to start! Basically I did not do well. This will be a retake. I took numbers 3 and 4 as my options as they played to my strengths but question 1 was a disaster…..I do not need to say more
I will have to sleep before midnight as I’m at work tomorrow. I will try logging on to my ACCA at 6.30 when I get up. I expect I will have failed….but will stay optimistic until I know for certain.
Lol, we should all be better paid 🙂
If as you say, you get paid well short of the lowest limit, then I can see why you feel short paid. You only have 8 moths experience, so maybe the short term low pay will be well worth it as you can use this as a springboard for a better paid role 🙂
I have just interviewed 10 people for a finance position within my department…..and how long someone has worked in finance does influence my opinion as to their suitability for my vacancy.Am I being stupid here? If you work then you can not be raising your family full time….sounds like the ACCA are enforcing the obvious.
But then you would not have any earnings if unemployed. But are they saying that only the long term unemployed would be entitled to the reduced subscription?
Not that I agree with this decision as such (I can see it from both sides). Their logic can’t be faulted (as no one would get the discount) but does seem a little unfair. Tempt you with the knowledge of a discount but then snatch it away at the last second
Wow, you have a lot of study material there! You need to chose just one. Do not try to read all three.
I doubt anyone can tell you the best provider as it is always a personal preference. You will need videos though as it will make understanding the subject much easier.
I am using Open Tuition to pass the March sitting 🙂
I will work through the notes that are provided and use the videos to work through the examples and any questions I have I will add to the ‘ask the tutor’ forum and will get a response within the day most of the time.
I have purchased BBPs revision book thoughThe text and videos from open tuition are enough to pass.
I would of course advise you to buy a revision book from one of the usual providers, like Kaplan or BPPHi,
I would expect the ACCA will enforce the rule.
Obviously I do not know their reasoning behind it but I expect it is to help protect student welfare. How would anyone be expected to sit more than 2 exams every 3 months? What about working, sleeping or simply having a life?
I wish you well with your studies 🙂I have to agree with Ehsan.
All the knowledge you require for F9 is contained within the Open Tuition videos and notes.
You will need to buy a revision book from one of the credited providers just to hone your skills and make you exam ready.Hi,
When you go on to ‘myacca’ and click to enter exams there will be a drop down menu to choose which sitting you want.
There is currently June and Septemberhttps://www.accaexamtips.net/2016/02/acca-p2-exam-tips-march-2016/
See the link above for exam tips
Just remember to cover all subjects and a sound knowledge of IFRS,s is the essential for passing P2
Hi,
There is no harm in asking for exam tips 🙂 we all know they are just a guess.
Sorry, I do not know any as I am not taking the exam this time round, but I’m sure that some on here will be happy to post any details they have.Hi,
I believe that ACCA say you should have 6 weeks of revision before an exam (as a guideline) but I expect that most taught courses will have between 2 to 4 weeks of revision prior to the exam.
I have always left 4 weeks and find this to be enough so far.You may want to read previous posts that have only just covered this subject before posting your question, but to repeat this again….there is no longer a 10 year rule as this was seen to be unfair.
There is now a 7 year rule that starts once you pass your first P level paper. You will no longer be removed from ACCA if you do not complete within the 7 years but you will have to resist those exams.
You have to pass all your P level papers within 7 years of passing the first one. If you passed your first P level paper in say 2010 then you will have to pass your last P paper in 2017. If you do not then you will have to retake those that are outside of the seven years.
The 10 year rule is effectively ignored now as it no longer exists.
You may want to contact ACCA if you are still confusedHello Kayomba,
The lecturers are kind enough to allow you to have all these materials and videos to watch on line for free.
Students must watch on line or else it will not be free…..I do not think there is any other way to explain it?I think cautions will stay on your record for 6 years if you were over 18 when the offence happened?
I would always recommend honesty here. Tell ACCA. I do not know what they will say but I would imagine that the offence would have a impact on the reaction of the ACCA.I hope it turns out okay.
Hi,
Over capitalisation is when a company has issued more debt or equity than what it’s assets are worth and may be paying more in interest than it should. A company would need to reduce their debt or buy back shares to resolve this.
I have to wonder though if you wanted to know about under capitalisation (over trading)?
Not certain if we have had an exam question on over capitalisation? I could be wrong though.
