I failed APM with 40% first attempt. I really don’t understand why. All the topics I revised were present in the exam but I still failed (even-though I felt the question were really kind). I used the Kaplan revision kit and did 6 past papers.
In my personal opinion ACCA is about making money from students exam sittings even-though they advise on their website they want students to pass. It looks suspicious that the pass rate be averaging around 32 – 35 % in the past 3 – 4 years. It looks like the exams and the marking process are engineered to keep the pass rate at this level so the ACCA qualification is perceived difficult and valuable to employers.
Without knowing where I went wrong I can only conclude passing the exam is like a lottery. I don’t hope for a short-cut with ACCA and I am willing to work but it seems students who failed are kept blindfolded and do not know where to improve.
