You should apply for mitigating circumstances. Hopefully if you are close to 50%, they might give you few marks and pass you.
33% first attempt. I wasn’t prepared for it as my father passed away in September and I was still dealing with the loss. Will try again and pass in March. Fingers crossed.
My friend and I both were very nervous but both got 52% and passed in first attempt. Much relieved today.
Passed second time 52%. I think I did great and would score a high mark but I barely passed it. But hey it is ACCA and a pass is an achievement in itself so I will gracefully take it.
Understanding financial statement assertions is a key to the substantive procedures question. Hope it helps anyone who reads my comment.
Passed second time 55%. Really happy. Didn’t study enough in the first attempt, gave a good shot this time around. 🙂
It was a repeat for me after I got 48 marks in December. This time around I completely understood what financial statement assertions are and which substantive procedures are done for each of them. The MCQ’s were challenging as usual and I missed 1 MCQ because I couldn’t manage my time properly. I am expecting over 65 marks this time. 🙂
First attempt – failed with 48%. I think I did very good in the theory questions but the MCQs probably let me down. Had I got one more MCQ correct, I would have passed. Time to focus again and have a strong effort for March exam now. Fingers crossed.
Hi if you had the transfer pricing question as a 20 marker then you and I both had the same exam paper. I got 55 and passed the exam. I have failed PM a good few times before finally passing it now. I got 49 in my march attempt and was heart broken too. My first suggestion to you is to not lose hope and start from fresh. I think what I did better this time which I would suggest you too, is to cover all syllabus and practice previous exam papers (and the practice kit obviously). The questions on practice kit are good for practice however the exam questions are more tricky compared to it. If you can understand those questions, practice them and cover all syllabus you will be able to pass next time. Understanding what is being asked is very important in providing the solution. Lastly PM is probably the toughest of F exams but taking any stress makes it more hard to pass. Start fresh, put the hard work in but do not panic. Hopefully you will pass it in December. Good luck.
