Passed with 50% on my first attempt. This was my last ACCA paper so now just to finalise the PER and submit for membership!
Over the moon with the pass, this paper was so difficult and long and I remember coming out of the exam centre deflated knowing I’d struggled to attempt a number of the questions.For all those that have completed their journey well done, and for all those still slogging it out, keep going and keep pushing. It took me a long time to come back to studying my Accountancy exams as I’d had failures with another governing body and it knocked the fight out of me. As it happens I came back to studying with a much busier lifestyle with 2 toddlers to look after and I spent endless nights studying wondering would I ever complete the journey. I had setbacks along the way but I got there and I believe if you are one of my fellow students reading this, provided you want it enough and are willing to give it your everything you too will get there. And trust me, when you do the feeling of accomplishment will feel all the more stronger knowing the hardship and the sacrifices you’ve had to make to achieve this goal. Keep going, keep pushing and remember what defines us is how we rise after a fall. Best of luck to all still on the journey and thank you so much to Open Tuition for helping me realise this dream I had. Peace.
Mate same. used to get 47, 48 but this time thankfully got 53. I managed to attempt 75 marks properly; the last 25 mark question I wasn’t able to attempt 11 mark and the rest on that question was just me rambling on with minutes to spare.
Just filling my PER because I’ve done more than 36 months of relevant work experience (in big four as well) but the journey was exhausting and there were times I thought I couldn’t go on. Should be done by PER this week and submit for membership. Hopefully should be done in a month right? Heard ACCA don’t take long in processing your membership application.
Extremely wise words from you and appreciate the feedback. Good luck to everyone keep soldiering on you will get your reward.
Congratulations to everyone who passed and to those who didn’t, don’t lose hope. Trust me we’ve all been there but you shall triumph so long as you keep at it.
so could you clarify the following for me:
I’ve got one exam left to pass but I have finished my 36 months in a gold status employer, can I therefore submit the Approved Employer Exemption Form and claim my time as well as exemption for PER objectives even though I still have got the one exam to pass?
thanks in advance
Danielle I advise you promptly write to ACCA and let them know of this debacle by the invigilator. You shouldn’t suffer for their mistake. ACCA might transfer your fees for next sitting.
Passed with 50 on the dot. Thank God I passed I’d be gutted if I’d have to give it again. Onwards to p2

you guys, you know the goodwill calculation, did you need to subtract impaired loss on goodwill at the end because i remember the question was asking for “goodwill at acquisition” and not “goodwill at year end” and once you subtract impaired loss on goodwill at the end that brings you to “goodwill at year-end”.i did subtract but wrote down goodwill at acquisition n goodwill at year-end separately.

I passed at 53. Relieved really. I was quite uncertain whether I would pass it as I felt I’ll get something like 45 to 49.
Thank God.
Hey Paul. Don’t worry man I’m sure you did fine. You’ve done enough to pass I’m sure. And you’re scaring me as well bcoz now I think I haven’t done enough.
Oh I really want to pass this hopefully we’ve all done enough.
As a disadvantage I wrote down that since he was a SALES director of a banking company he might have personal interest to get the company to get a loan from his bank so as to improve his sales. Dunno where I came up with that one n whether it was good or not!!!

Hehehe my opinion is definitely adverse about what that friend did.
Oh wait that wasn’t as funny as @bill the butcher
Guys most of my mcqs were option B. Did anyone get lots of Bs? I think I got one D n that was number 12.
I was short on time as well. Think I left five six marks.
