    Just had and are still having a very bad experience with the Admin Review of ACCA:

    For F8, I achieved 49%. I never failed one exam with ACCA.

    As i had a very good feeling on my exam, and generally i have good understanding of how well it went, I asked for an Administrative Review.
    They told me that all of my questions were marked with “Considerably Below Required Standard” rating which means that the candidate can receive “0 – 35%” of the “%Marks achieved in the Syllabus area”.

    There were a total of 5 Syllabus sections tested, A, B, C, D and E and in ALL OF THEM, i was rated “Considerably Below Required Standard”, thus with a maximum rating of 35% of total marks available for each Syllabus.

    If I have achieved a maximum rating of 35% in each of the individual Syllabus then, if summed up, the total mark of the exam could not have been marked at 49% but only a maximum of 35%.
    In other words, since i achieved 35% or less of the total marks for each Syllabus, my total mark on my exam mathematically speaking could not have been a 49% Fail but must have been between “0 – 35%”.

    Therefore, i doubt that the markings on the individual have been done correctly and diligently.
    I also question the summing up of the individual ratings of the different Syllabus tested.

    ACCA refuses to answer my questions until i pay another 52 GBP for their unreasonable and incoherent work!

    Very unprofessional and frustrating experience so far with ACCA…
