I actually found AAA to be the best professional paper for me – I was dreading it because of the pass rate/ reputation, but I got into it a lot and scored my highest mark there (including F papers!) I think it better suited my studying style of internalising information and taking on a role.
I found SBR the most difficult strategic paper, mainly due to the sheer volume of the syllabus. Not only is it huge, the questions that were asked were so in-depth that you can easily trip on a number of areas. I think I made the mistake of focusing too much on the theory and knowledge side, when I should have spent more time on past papers and exam technique. It was my first professional paper so perhaps I was still in the mindset of more rote learning.
My biggest piece of advice for non-affiliates would be not to fear the professional papers. In a way they’re harder as the content is more advanced, but they also give you a real opportunity to prove you know what you’re talking about in a way that MCQs don’t allow.
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.

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

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

I’ve heard one such case. But that means you have to literally score FULL marks on whatever questions you have attempted on that paper.
It’s funny because Jan 18 is my birthday, and I’m waiting for my SBR result. Not very optimistic to be honest, but still, finger-crossed.
I’m an about-to-be PwC auditor and am planning to take AAA and SBL in March if I’m so lucky to see a “pass” the day after tomorrow. I personally think AAA or SBL would be the hardest; It is a bit ironic that I was once an AA prize winner in March 2019 then failed AAA in Dec 2019.

I am not keen on doing Remote Exams, so that I means I will have to wait till June 2021 sessions (hopefully!!)
Thank you.That’s a good question – in any event you can see here that there is already provision to apply for an extension https://www.accaglobal.com/vn/en/student/getting-started/rules-and-regulations-for-students/time-limits.htm
I am sure where it is clear that students’ progression has been affected by covid-19 that extension will be given.
