** ACCA F5 September 2015 Exam Results **

@mike0943: get a hold of at least two revision kits, one BPP and one Kaplan. Not too expensive. Practise as many questions as possible and under exam conditions. Take notes when you get things wrong, possibly in another pen colour so you can review later. Be a harsh marker.

Anything which still sticks out as a major problem, watch OpenTuition lecture again.

Thanks to OpenTuition.com I passed on first attempt. Video Lessons and Lecture Notes were enough material to be prepared for this horror exam.

Pass!!! 3th attempt but finally PASSED! 😉

This is amazing! You should be so proud. Congratulations!

Did u only use opentuition and revision kit?

First attempt and passed with 60 marks.
BPP study book and revision kit (go through like 3 times), I used opentuition lectures and notes as well, but not as a main source.

PASSED 62% …!!! I was totally sure it was a fail… since it was more difficult than June…. BIG THANKS TO JOHN…!!!best lectures and notes….!!! ^__^

(Used only Open tuition lectures and revision kit nothing else…)

Same

pass at 1st attempt. Thank you very much Open Tuition!

3rd attempt, 50%. I’m over the moon and onto the next one!

Pass 62% I was so convinced I had failed. F8 and F9 left, planning F9 now in December then a 6 month break when baby comes and then F8 in September 2016 then I am done with the F papers 😀

52. A bit closer than I’d have liked, but it still counts!

Several weeks ago you are so nervous ==

As I told you, you were able to pass and you should not be stressful at that time.

For people asking my study plan, firstly I really don’t advise anybody to follow my day rules because that is what I am comfortable with and I did it because I knew I can, except for the number of days I used, the other info might be helpful, but calculate the number of DAYS YOU NEED or are comfortable with for yourself

F4- I studied for 7 days, wrote notes of all chapters and practiced revision kit as I went through the chapters while making note of new points or points I got wrong or hadn’t paid much attention to, studied the chapter once again, then did the revision kit once more, did the opentuition question paper and the accaglobal question paper and the day before the exams I read the book once more, read all the technical articles in accaglobal and the note of revision kit mistakes.
Landed me 88%

F5/F6- I used up around 26 days for both of these papers alternatively, so 13 days each. I wrote notes of all the chapters, did the RK once making notes of points I got wrong, read the books (skimmed through it), did past question papers from 2011-2015 once, read all the technical articles in accaglobal, read the book again, did the RK once more, and then before the exam skimmed through the book and the RK points I got wrong.
Landed me a 74% and 85% respectively.

See the thing is, well at least for me. it’s not all practice practice practice and it’s not all study study study, find a mix you’re comfortable with, and I entered the exam hall with the mindset to score a 70+ and was pretty comfortable with any part of the syllabus they could throw at me, the mindset and far reaching preparation of the syllabus also helps a lot, and from what I’ve seen most people just go through the RK, making notes of the points you got wrong and skimming through it just before the exam will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE, trust me! All the best!

Got it finally!!!!My 4th attempt and 55%. Thought that September exam was really tough, especially 20MCQ. Moving onto P2 now.
