    @Shanna ACCA already has numerous checks and controls in place to ensure marks are correct, so an administrative review won’t make a difference. Just shake the dust and move forward, and you will pass on the next attempt. Never give up!

    I got 49% again on my 5th attempt. Still an administrative review not recommended? Very demotivated to continue with this result as i need to take this paper every time with my professional papers.

    I scored 48% on the second attempt. I really don’t know how I failed. I had answered all the questions, did the revision kits multiple times and here I am, failing the second time. I was so confident that I am gonna make it with 65%+.

    I am just worried whether my answering techniques are right or wrong and what I can do to improve. I wish there was a way where acca could give us back the answers so that we can see where we went wrong and how to we improve the bad places.

    Fail mark 45. Last time it was 35. Feeling bad as I tried a lot this time. Will give one more time in Sept and inshAllah this time with more effort.
    Congratulations to all the successful candidates and best of luck to all who couldn’t make this time, lets try again.
    Tip: i couldn’t make it this time again due to incomplete paper. Inorder to pass this subject its very important to complete your paper. I knew the topics but ran out of time. Practice questions on your desktop or laptop with a timer. Going for this technique in the next attempt.

    @Roccoh172
    I think you are not using audit verbs in your answers. It is very important to use correct audit verbs in order to fetch marks. While answering audit risk and internal controls questions use correct verbs and plan your answers with
    Risk and consequence of risk
    Response and what it will make sure
    Control deficiency and consequence of that
    Control to be set and what it will make sure
    Test of control

    Hi

    Tips that worked for me. I started studying last week of January whilst working full time. I am registered with BPP but I didn’t open my bpp study text for one day. I used Kaplan study text, bpp exam kit, watched video lectures.

    Studying- Audit risk, procedures, test of controls: there are verbs the examiner is looking out for when starting off your sentences for these topics, especially for audit risk- master them.

    Bpp exam kit- I covered the bpp kit twice. The first time was to practice all questions (practical and rote learning)and the second time was to practice the rote learning topics only ( these rote learning topics are the easy marks in the theory part). Apart from these, do not cram your text. You need to put yourself in the shoes of an auditor and be practical.

    Kaplan exam kit- I didn’t have so much time to go through the entire Kaplan kit but I used this exam kit to revise audit risk because that was the topic I found a bit difficult.

    Practice acca past exam sample questions as well. They are usually more difficult and make sure you revise the answers to understand what you may have done wrong. Practice a lot of objective questions! They can be tricky but practice a lot to know how to identify trick questions.

    Finally this worked for me- for every theory question I did on all my kits, try to write down your answers on paper. When you review the answer kit for corrections, re-write them on paper( it helps you not to forget) and if possible (I did this to a large extent) use your laptop, open MS Excel and type down your answers in exam format. This will help you test your speed in exam condition.

    All the best!!!!

    For me ! I mainly focus on substantive procedure and audit risk question. I did past exam question as much as I can. I tried to memorize what examiner response in those of substantive procedure and audit risk answer. My tuition provider gave advice to us that we need to approach question according to examiner sample answer rather than our own audit practical experience. I pass with 61% in my first attempt.

    Passed 56% on my first attempt! I was really afraid of this exam because it is only writing, no calculations.

    I didn’t have time to go through BPP Study Text. I had 5 weeks to learn AA (working full time) because I decided to attempt this exam at the end of January.
    I viewed all lectures on Open Tuition, read notes and did BPP Practise & Revision Kit.

    Thank you very much Open Tuition for all lectures and notes! So far I passed 4 exams with you at first attempt. TX and maybe SBL in September session, I hope exam session in Sep will take place.

    Good luck everyone and don’t give up!
