    This is my first time using opentuition and I passed with 62%. Thank you Mr John Moffat! It is also my 3rd attempt at the FM paper and I remember giving up a few years back after i failed. My advice to all of you is to keep going and make sure you practice the whole of the exam kit. It helped me a lot.

    Hey folks, can anyone tell me if ACCA still has prizewinners? I don’t see any information on these anymore. I used to really be inspired by their stories and advice. You guys know of any within recent years? If there were none, I’d be very concerned and so should ACCA. Just saying.

    Hello, I am sittingn my exam in March for the 4th time. The first two times my computer crashed and wiped my whole exam and ACCA only gave 20 minutes to do section C and said they will retrieve my Section A and B, the third time I got 48%. I was put off from studying for a year and a half and have finally come back into it. Any advice on how to improve exam technique?

    I am going through the lectures again, and then will focus solely on study text and past papers. Although, I feel the study text is rubbish as it does not replicate what is in the real exam.

    Hi Syednshah

    Yes, March will also be my 4th attempt with 48% at the December paper.

    I find that the MCQs is my struggle and the practice questions in the kit do not reflect the difficulty that come up in the paper. ACCA always find a stranger way to ask these questions!

    I will focus on past exam papers and review hot topics (fx/internet rate risk/WACC/NPV/WC) and fingers crossed will finally pass this time round.

    Hi I passed with 83% on my first attempt and I can verify that the study text is not rubbish, in fact I think most Theory Based MCQ’s come from a very random part of the study text, and for me a thorough 2 week study of the study text really helped! Hope this helps

    @ankithmathew, did you use kaplan or bpp? and how much time did it take you to prepare fully for the exam? watching lectures, practicing exam kit and going through study text all included

    It took me a month and a half of prep – used kaplan and practiced their exam kit – honestly I spent 60% of time on problems and try mastering the different kinds of problems, and then I moved on to theory ( as I realised that FM is 50% theory ) which really helps you be sure of the tricky MCQs I think most people fail due to lack of prep for theory

    I can’t thank you enough John Mofatt and other Course tutors, particularly AA too. I just concluded Skills level, will pass mark of 57 for FM.

    I will be continuing with SBL and AFM now.

    I love you all.
