** ACCA F9 September 2015 Exam Results **

Think I’ve failed it cos I can select it to enter in Dec ?

Passed with 52%

It seems F9 is one of those subjects you have to at least fail twice. I finally passed with 62% after finding the exam a complete disaster. Well done to those who have passed and those who have not just keep trying. 🙂

@ sbarfoot what materials did you rely on? did you have to use the study text or the opentuition notes and lectures were fully sufficient to score high marks?

please give your comments, i am planning to sit f9 this december

many thanks,
mike

@Mike0943, the way f9 exam is going the examiner does not require much calculations like before in the era of 25mark questions. I’ll personally advice someone finds a balance between the theoretical part and the calculations aspects, September exam was a balance of both , the kind of questions you would expect didn’t come up. There was no wacc or npv, instead it was appraise a company about to take a loan and a question on lease or buy. There’s just one past question on lease or buy Asop Co

Mike, I used online lectures to make really succinct notes which I went over a few times and did as many questions as I could stick. At least two for every topic. But I did them well so I didn’t do every available question by any stretch.

I used the Kaplan exam kit which was great. It saves so much printing and poking through stuff. I didn’t open the textbook but apparently a lot of the extra stuff in them is great for the MCQs.

I should mention the first sitting in June I failed BADLY (36). My most significant change was doing 1 exam. I was doing 2 and passing 1. So say I got a 50 and a 40. I was learning 90 marks of information and still looking like a very average student! With the new quarterly exam I was able to do 1 well and still proceed through my exams at the same pace.

Now ready to hit work and the books with renewed vigour!

Good luck all- from a very average student!!!

Pass!!! 55 … second attempt – thank you to the open tuition lectures !

@sbarfoot thanks alot for the opinion, so opentuition plus the kit is enough to do very well in this paper

should i go through all the chapters in the bpp study text once only to get some idea for the MCQS or should i go through it slowly in good detail?

how did you write your answers in the exam? as detailed like bpp/acca? or in short points like opentuition advices? also how much did you write in the 10 and 15 mark questions how many points and how long was each point?

looking forward on your response

thanks once again
mike

Failed 36%, it was my second attempt! first attempt was 46%. I found Septembers exam really hard even tough I was confident beforehand and knew more that I did on the 1st attempt. 3rd time lucky in December.

Pass with 50 on the dot first time. Normally I would have liked a higher mark but I don’t think I care about this one at all. I do not have to resit, that’s all that matters. Exam was a complete disaster, 1 question not answered at all. Thanks to open tuition though for all the lectures.

61% first attempt like boss ! 😛
