General ACCA*** ACCA P1 December 2016 Exam Results ***

thak you teslim i will go on but i faill p1 12 times from june 2009 till dec 16 last time pass p6 june 2010 so if i not pass p1 and p3 and one option befor septmer 17 they will be 5 again now i will give p4 on march 17 any advice

A very late night/early morning but 62% so very happy. Like others - not too sure where they found 62 marks from but won't argue!! Happy Days and well done to all!

Failed with 40 only, and I though I'd passed it. Knowledge seem to be not enough as I felt confident, but I have not practiced past exam papers due to lack of time which I think is where I gone wrong. Never mind, March session will have to be the one!

Absolutely bombed this paper :( 35%! I knew I hadn't done well, but that badly?! I did well in mocks and stuff, I think I just panicked as it was my first P Paper, and stuff I hadn't really revised well came up. Oh well, roll on March!

Got 53% and I give it entirely to opentuition cause i only used their lectures and notes. thank you guys

gosh fail for the second time.... 34%. time challenged....

First attempt Passed with 76% this was my most difficult exam to study cos it didn't include any calculations. I only used opentuition notes and past questions. I expected to fail or at most get a 52 cos I lost my mum a day before the exam. So shocked yet happy with the outcome. P2 in march. Seriously thanks OT its been you all the way

67% pass so happy!

58% pass in P1. Thank God and it's time to move on.......three to go....... P7 in March.......and hope to become an affiliate this year and no more.

Received 53% ....didn't expect as i left behind 20 points...preparing for P3 now as we need to pass P3 by June 2018....the new ACCA rule

I got 47%, so dissapointed! I did not understand some of the requirements.

Don't give up write it again. A little tip to help you in your next attempt: APPLICATION. That word helped me pass P1. Book knowledge in the exam is only about 30% and you'll know when you see something like define, briefly describe, give differences, what are/is - it is usually the first phase of the question and two or three lines are enough to answer that question. The APPLICATION aspect is always the second phase of the question and it is not what you have read from the study text. The answer is extracted from the scenario. This is where you draw marks. Take a question paper and look it: the first phase may say briefly describe.................., and the second phase may say discuss the advantages and disadvantages of ................, now this part must be tailored to the scenario not the lists that may have been given in the study text. Therefore practice and understand the questions and the question verbs.

69%

this is completely true, the knowledge required in the exam was too easy for me and i knew 70-90% of it, yet i scored 37!!haha so applying and managing the time is also crucial

Still in denial 79% first time attempt.

I am destroyed...37 marks:(( I tried several times, each session, last year i took it every session and failed. I do not know what to do and I cannot see the book/revision :( Last time I had 49 marks and this time expected to pass. The funny thing is that I passed P2 three years ago but why I canonot pass this paper I cannot understand! God, do not have any motivation left!!!!!

70% first attempt. Like others though, I really thought I'd failed this one - not sure where they found the marks!

Happy with my 59% first attempt 2 left hope the best for me and all

Passed with 54%, second attempt. Of all the three papers I sat for, I was so certain I would fail this one because the Section B questions had similar requirements and I kept on repeating myself. I dont know where the marks came from.

Hello y'all, please can you give some tips on how to attempt this paper, as I'm going for this next and how to get that pass. Thank you

Please do share some tips

Hello Alhumdulilah ........Just Passed my F7. Need some advise ...... * I am a part time student doing full time accountant job also. * Can I attempt P1 instead of F9 . I have already passed F8. * I want to attempt P1 in March-17 Attempt. Is the time too short or good enough for the attempt? * What could be the best approach to pass P1 in such a short time scenario ? * Should I rely on OT notes & lectures only for upcoming attempt ? Thanks & Regards

I totally Second that O:)

Hello samh88, please can you give us a few tips on how you passed p1. I'm attempting it soon also. Thank you

Thank you so much, what's the technical article and where can they be found?

@samh88 said: I'm not really sure how I passed, I was sure I had failed as I only managed to complete about 3/4 of the paper but somehow got 60%. Definitely do exam questions. I didn't and of had have done I probably would have done much better. Also make sure you read the technical articles, I got lucky that 4 of the more recent ones that I read actually came up in the exam. And remember that just having the knowledge isn't good enough you need to be able to apply it to the situation. You will get at least one question that is not like anything you have seen before and so you need to be able to apply your knowledge and figure put what they are asking.

Dear All, Who can share with me the study book for P1? I have only the old one(((
