General ACCAACCA Dec 2020 results countdown

@joanali @mjmay @valdimiro01 - clearly these are generic messages "Dear student" but if you care to provide me with your student IDs I can draw ACCA's attention to the fact that the most innocuous of messages at this time can cause anxiety.

@Tai Wo - I think this topic has been hammered out on this forum - it indicates nothing - you are only upsetting yourself and your fellow students unnecessarily. I entirely understand why students should want to read something into a communication to infer a result but it is a complete waste of nervous energy. ACCA must clearly alert students to centre-based exam cancellations and exam entry deadlines and it is not unreasonable that they remind students (as they also remind affiliates and members) of outstanding subscriptions. When you qualify and relax and have time to reflect I hope you may better appreciate the many diverse needs of a professional body's half a million students.

I just got an email from ACCA tagged "Take the next Step" and it was all about about booking my next exam in March. I'm a finalist and wrote the APM CBE exam in December 2020

@Tai Wo even me I just received the same email, I'm not finalist and I sat for AAA and SBR Dec 2020. Swear to god I'm fed-up with the results, if ACCA uploaded the results why they don't release them in order to continue our studies. I don't think such emails are generic.

@porschevee - and it means nothing. Surely someone out there can change the subject? All you soon-to-be affiliates - what advice and encouragement do you have for students waiting on results for Applied Skills exams? Which strategic professional exam has been the biggest challenge for you (don't say AAA) or has interested you most (please say AAA)?

@Amaniabuzaid - just because you and many others can "see" that results have been uploaded does not mean that every candidates' result has been uploaded. It would clearly be unfair that some students receive results earlier than others. Perhaps you don't know that it is not so long ago that students would do exams first week of December and results were not available until mid-February. Having brought forward results by a month is a huge achievement!

I am finalist and got this email now Take the next step With each step you take on your ACCA journey, you’re even closer to taking your career to wherever excites you most. We’re committed to running exams this March and preparations are under way to ensure exam centres are safe to operate. Continue your future and book your next exam now. The exam entry deadline is 1 February. Once you’ve booked your exam, we’ll send tailored study support straight to your inbox. In addition to providing focused preparation advice, we’ll also signpost the most relevant resources as you count down to your exam.

@Amaniabuzaid - if I didn't understand how you feel I would not be devoting hours and hours of my time to trying to allay students' concerns and provide useful information to ACCA to moderate the volume of generic communications at this time.

@Kim Thanks a lot for your patients, please don't misunderstand me. God knows how do we feel and how we are suffering. for me I started studying AFM on the 18th of Dec 2020 as it is my final paper. But now after receiving the generic communication form ACCA I cant focus any more.

Hi everyone, particularly those that wrote their last exam in December. PLEASE stop speculating about the e-mails, etc. As @Kim Smith has mentioned countless times, they do not mean anything. I myself am an affiliate-hopeful, and I think the speculation is causing unnecessary anxiety. Let’s be happy that we were brave enough to attempt the December exam, regardless of the result right now. Nothing that we say or do right now can influence the result, so as Kim says, let’s share some advice to our fellow students, and which has been the most interesting strategic paper. Here’s one of mine. I found SBL in Dec 2019 to be interesting. I followed the advice to spend the first hour preparing my answer on my answer book (still on paper at the time), which felt like I was wasting time, but it really helped a lot. That paper required a lot of practical thinking and common sense, and I am grateful that I passed it on my first attempt. I’m certain this 1 hour planning time was definitely the key. Those 4 hours goes by real quick!

Hello .. So I had written apm 3 times I did not pass.. Then I took a break I wrote AFM twice and did not pass .. This is my third attempt. I hope I wil pass this time.

I have been left with one paper since 2018.. my advice is to not get demotivated and keep trying.. I took a break .. Now I feel I should have kept trying instead of taking a break. I got married... And then I revisited AFM I think after a year and attempted did not pass. Then in December I attempted.. but If I don't make it this time I plan to keep trying till I succeed instead of taking a break.so my advice is keep trying don't be discouraged. . Because I think if I had not taken a break and kept pushing maybe I would have cleared it .. so don't give up keep trying.. if result is not good. Don't worry keep trying.be positive.

Hi Kim Can I please ask you how do the cancellations of the CBE Exam Centres affect my 7 year expiry dates on the 2 remaining papers that I have left to pass. I have expiry dates of Dec 2022 for SBR and Dec 2023 for SBL I am not keen on doing Remote Exams, so that I means I will have to wait till June 2021 sessions (hopefully!!) Thank you.

I received an email from ACCA "Take the next step" book your exam now and unlock your possibilities... Being a finalist I can certainly say Its not a good sign for me. As from last few years I am observing what ACCA sent and what they didn't before result. Don't want to create unnecessary anxiety for others but I can say not every thing is generic what I observed. But Best of luck to all...

I got exemption for the applied skills exams, so i never attempted it. I have written AAA, SBL and SBR which i passed once and have failed AFM twice..so obviously the most difficult exam for me was AFM..while i wrote APM once and awaiting results for it...my easiest and most interesting exam is AAA, followed closely by SBL. AAA opened my eyes to what auditors actually do and though i have no work experience in this field, i can confidently say i understand what auditors do. However, i really enjoyed studying for APM as it taught me a lot about management accounting and the workings of a manufacturing company especially (i have interest in specializing as an FP&A). My problem with AFM is that it is really really technical and might be a bit problematic if you aren't interested in corporate finance and capital markets or have working experience in that field. I had tried the CFA exams in the past and failed Level 1 twice, so it's safe to say Corporate Finance isn't my best suit My advise for students is to show genuine interest in the strategic professional papers, savour it , understand it and enjoy it but then dont forget to look out for what the examiner wants..apart from OT, i got some tutors online that were useful in tackling some of these courses..for AAA - Kashif Kamran, SBL - Hasani Dosani and APM - Rizwan Maniya. All the best results to everyone!

Hi Everyone, I am awaiting my SBL results but not feeling very hopeful, fingers crossed though. Despite this I decided to start studying APM as I enjoyed PM and there appears to be a bit of an overlap with SBL. The only thing is though I took PM sometime ago and have forgotten some of the knowledge so having to play catch up. My advise to anyone out there when you are thinking about which exam to do next bear in mind what papers you would like to do at the Professional level so you don't have to go over stuff so much. I will then be looking to do SBR then AAA. Not looking forward to SBR, but AA was my favourite subject so hopefully looking forward to ending on a high. Best of luck to all those waiting for their results and if anyone has any tips for taking APM that would be great.

i wrote my last subject and got an email today to book my March exam. i too feel nervous that my result s getting clearer

Hi guys, have you heard of anyone who has passed an ACCA exam even after leaving 30-35 marks unattempted?

There r plenty of cases where I have heard that they passed even after attempting around 70-75. The content should be accurate whatever u have written in that case

sephora1 wrote:Is there any finalist who did not receive such emails

I am also looking for them. If anyone, please shout...

At this point, I don't want to say anything. Let's pray for all. Let our dream come true on 18th

Has anyone left around 20 marks bcz she f lack time and passed?

I didn't receive any emails for march exams despite I have one more exams left. Is there any reason for that?

For P2 I attempted only 2 ques. One 50 marks and one 25 marks. And left one 25 marks question unattempted. I passed with 50marks.so its possible.

Seeing the email has crushed my hopes of passing :(

I followed the link to book exam and it shows error

Check in your inbox I guess it was sent to everyone who is left with a paper
