75% ?

50% and affiliate. Can’t complain.

72% and an Affiliate now. So over the moon. Just want to thanks Open Tuition massively, this wouldnt have been possible without your help. SBL and SBR I only used open tuition and BPP books. AAA and ATX I had to change the strategy.

Congratulations to all who passed and good luck for future students.

84% and I missed out at least 5 marks.

54% and I was convinced I’d got about 20% so I’m over the moon!!! Only SBL to go until I’m done!!

Congratulations.

Could you please let me know which resources to use?

Congratulations!!

Could you please share the resources you’ve used and any tips on preparing ATX.

Thanks in advance.

I did every single past paper I could get my hands on. I started by doing them all open book, tried to do 10 questions a day. I did them all open book, then I did them all closed book. I also read the Kaplan textbook page for page.

I’m not going to lie, this is the hardest paper I think I’ve ever sat. It’s very hard to get marks and it is a massive commitment. This is not open to interpretation and you need to learn the entire syllabus and be able to apply your knowledge 100%. Although it is pro-forma based, you need to understand why you are applying to proforma because there are so many things that mean adjusting it.

All I can recommend is ALOT of hard work for this exam. I came out thinking I’d failed entirely. I was absolutely mortified!

Hello

Thank you for leaving a comment. I am someone who has not passed, I have had a few attempts to this exam, Each time I have bee unsuccessful, its heartbreaking. Is there an exam strategy any of you guys could advise, and/or do you guys have any specific revision materials you would recommend I access?

Some of you have mentioned exam question practice. Please can you advise where you sourced your bank of questions from?

I would also like to ask you guys about the exam in March 2020. Did you all finish the paper? I ran out of time for mine. How much time did you allocate to each question?

Thank you for reading and for your advice.

Hi Afazil, I finally passed ATX after 8 attempts. In all fairness the 1st problem I had is originally I was with BPP and completing online lectures and then completing taught revision classes. I failed ATX miserably that 1st sitting as I tried to combine ATX and AAA and failed both back in 2015. From that stage I decided to take one professional paper at a time. Whilst studying for ATX and AAA I was waiting for P2 results now SBR. So I thought I would be qualified in 2015 and then to my horror realised I had to retake 3 exams. So passed P2, then AAA and then started my crazy battle with ATX again back in April 2018. 1st problem was my notes were 3 years old from before tried to use the finance acts to update my old notes but after failing 4 more times each in the 30’s I started to realise that I needed a different approach. So decided to ask BPP if I can get the new course note without going to classes and love behold I could. So I finally had the newest notes and could see my gaps in knowledge due to the finance act changes. This was the beginning of the change as I finally got 41 next sitting, then 47 next sitting and finally 53% this sitting. Another thing that helped was the BPP practice exam kit and doing 1-2 questions a day. All these things played a part though my ACCA journey and thank God finally an affiliate soon to be a member as I have 9 years experience.
So just keep going don’t give up!
