53 marks on first attempt…huge relieve as I found December exam quite hard.
Finally became affiliate after 5 years of juggling full time job, family and ACCA study priorities.If you take CBE, which I definitely recommend, make sure you practice a lot using CBE test modules on ACCA website.
CBE just simulates how you would answer any business issue in a workplace, where you need to do some calculations in excel and write a report in word processor.
Excel module is easy to use and each question section has a defined method of answering some require to use excel.
The best feature is that you can use multiple windows at once on the same screen, which makes answering questions much easier and you can copy-paste from question sections into answer section etc.
Make really easy to prepare and review answers, which makes it much easier for marker to follow and give confidence that you really know, what you’re writing about.I used mostly BPP Study / Workbook and Practice Book and Opentuition materials.
Also covered all technical articles and practice CBE “dry run” modules on ACCA website to get used to a technique and CBE- it really was so much easier to organize the answer.
I also did 2 mock exams before- which to me was really essential.75% pass on 5th attempt, all the hard-work finally paid off…
CBE for SBR was a real game changer as I struggled a lot in prior SBR exams with my handwriting and trying to keep a logical and neat answer structure within time limit, which was extremely frustrating.
Especially given the fact nobody in a real workplace writes for 3 hours anymore, wish ACCA introduced CBE for strategic level exams much earlier, would save a lot of pain.Wish you all best of luck and keep going, no matter how hard and desperate your situation might look like!
passed on 2nd attempt- 52 points (failed 1st with 38 points)… really relieved , I thought I failed as I didn’t really cover the 3c question
Passed re-take @ 69%- open tuition lectures were really helpful and very high quality.
Many Thanks for you help!Second time marginal fail with 48p, very frustrating, but it’s time to think positive and focus on June session- thanks Opentuition for the support.
ACCA pass rates were generally down for March session vs prior period, especially for F6 the difference was significant.
