Failed for the 3rd time with 45%, which was a great improvement on my lat result of 35%.
I always feel well prepared when sitting the exam too. Any advice on where I’m going wrong?
P5 was one of my final 2 papers and I was hoping to just have 1 left to sit in June 2012. But after today’s terrible exam i’m sure I will have this to sit too. I’ve already sat P5 under the old examiner in December 2010 and that was easier than today;s paper.
Its so soul destroying facing a paper that’s so confusing especially when you know you are 100% prepared for the paper. Having read other comments today I am more hopeful that i’m not alone. I’ve already failed P4 three times, so I’m running out of options! The thought of having to go through all this again for P6 and P7 is too depressing.
Q1 was confusing. The language used meant I had to read the scenario time and time again. I guessed it was EV but didnt get the right numbers.
Q2 was my fav as I read that the performance pyramid could be on the exam so I did revise the area on performance measurement well.
Had a few glasses of red so cant really remember the other two questions, they seemed ok but I felt that I didnt write enough.I feel like i’m running out of time and options fast. What does ACCA expect us to do, keep on resiting the exams forever!! I’m so tired of exams and the ACCA. I think it’s time they understand how annoyed we really are!!
I am sorry I chose P4 now as I have just sat it for the 3rd time! What a joke and waste of energy. Its always as confusing as the last sitting, no matter how much I prepare for it. I think its time to move on to tax or auditing, which are both depressing.
I have failed this paper for the 2nd time, only managed to get 38% even thought I felt better prepared than the June 2010 exam. Any tips??
How disappointing. I feel like I may as well have not bothered revising at all as I would have been prepared for that as much as I was anyway. Qu 4 and 5 were fine but i struggled mainly with Q2 as it confused the hell out of me.
I think ACCA need to address this problem so people aren’t wasting their time resitting this exam. What a nightmare.
