Hi: In other for me to succeed in an exam I focus on one paper at a time until I succeed. read articles relating to u paper. know u key terms ( see open tuition ) Practice allot. I have a family too so understand u situation. I study late hours when every one is asleep. Saturdays and Sunday I get out of the house. and go the nearest school or university to study.

Passed in my first attempt just with open tuition lecture slides and past exam papers .Got 60% and preparation was 3 weeks .

82%

p1 50%

57% The last ever ACCA exam I had to take, and one of the more comfortable ones for me.

Pass 50... Happyyy

Don't give up..there is bright light after the dark YNWA :)..if you need help i can help..

pass at 69 marks!

well done to everyone who passed.

thought that i had cleared the 50% mark and potentially achieved about 60%.. in the end just got 51%, which is a pass and great ! but a little to close for comfort :-(

Got 51 marks for P1. :) I did self-study, used open tuition lectures. Never thought I would pass. Thank God. Thank you Sir Mike for your advices! God Bless you!

Passed with first attempt by 53 marks. Happy to be on the passing side.

Passed with 57% Alhamdulillah

passed with 51% marks. i was hoping for more as i thought that i did well in the paper but don't know what went wrong. i guess i had made any blunder somewhere that has cost me this...

Passed! Thank you Open tuition. The lectures and notes were very helpful.

All praise to GOD Almighty and Very comfortable with 50% pass,First attempt.Thanks to Opentuition

All praises to GOD Almighty magic pass 50% first attempt

It is really so sad, but I passed on first attempt with self study. What I did studied text book once properly and note down all important points and definitions. Secondly I practiced past exam papers from 2010 till Dec 2014. So I suggest you practice past exam papers, there you get the idea how to answer questions. Hope you pass it next time.

I fail P1 on second attempt, but I expect can pass as 80% of question I know how to answer and confidence than my first attempt. I have 100% confidence that I can pass, but the mark even lower than my first attempt with only 26%. Is possible for ACCA to calculate mark wrongly or they did not mark properly as their procedure become faster to release the result, because they want students to apply for September session?Or they just want to cheating students money? Anyone has this issue? I had request for reviewing because I really did not believe I fail. How long the review result will come out?

Patrick, I know how you feel. I just sat P1 in June, did absolutely everything for it, could not have been more prepared... Came out thinking that the exam was really nice, I planned every question, stuck to time, used headers, even went on to a second answer booklet... And I only got 37%! I requested a review, but nothing ever changes. They won't send your script back, and the only extra information they give is whether you passed or failed each question you attempted. And that's not even parts of questions, but the question as a whole, And it only says "pass" or "fail", not even the mark, so it's really no help at all. I have been reviewing the paper along with the examiners report to try and work out where I went wrong. There are a few suspect areas, but I still really can't work out how I scored so low... Frustrated, but will try again in September.

As I said above, I have been reviewing the exam, and the model answer against the examiners report. There are a few areas that I am not totally happy with. Firstly, question 1)b) Criticise Amy's behaviour as an FD and a qualified accountant... To me, that just screamed PIPCO and the fundamental principles of qualified accountants. I remember saying how she had failed against these principles. However, this was the "wrong approach", and would not have scored many marks. I'm rather disappointed at this. Another thing, was 4)a) on Kohlberg. The examiners report says "some answers just produced a general description of Kohlbergs framework, which was not required" But, to me, all the model answer does is give a general description of the Kohlberg framework!? There are a few other debatable areas too, where it turns out that I may not have approached the answer in the way the examiner wanted. Admittedly, with hindsight, I can see where I went wrong. Some other areas, on the other hand, I can't really work out how I would have lost so many marks...

Passed P1 at first attempt with 50% :D

Passed on 67%

Passed with 58 marks alhamdulilah. Lol! the paper was tough for me, thought will not make it.

My method for exams F2-F9 has been to first view the lectures on Open Tuition and then spend lots of time with the revision kits and doing at least 95% of all questions. Sometimes I do questions 2-3 times to make sure I understand it and can formulate a good answer well within the designated time. I think it’s important to answer the questions as you would in the exam and not just scribble down some bullet point. This has worked relatively well for me so far: 3 exams 90+, 4 exams 80+, 1 exam 78. I’m also usually done 10 minutes before the time limit (except the CBEs which took max 1 hour per exam) N.B: Colleceted from Opentuition

punkindrublic86, I have the same problem - got only 38 whilst spent all 4 months at least 20 hours a week breaking my neck studying both for P1 and P2 for June session. What is worse is I do not know what the problem is. I planned all the answers as well, wrote a lot as an answers and left exam hall with a pleasant feeling that everything was OK. But unfortunately it wasnt... I requested an admin review. But it was only waste of money - they confirmed that my results are fair. May be its just a style of an answers marker does not like or my bad handwriting - I have absolutely NO IDEA... I guess I will retake P1 along with P3 in December session. I have a question to you (and probably to others) - you said you planned your answers. How did you handle that in your answer booklet? I devoted to plan a separate sheet (first one) and made a plan on it for all the questions (in the style of one-word bullet points). Looking at the results my first thought was that the examiner looked only on that one sheet and did not go any further...

I had request for review as I had read suggested answer and confirm that I can pass. But the review result still saying my mark did not change. I definitely not believe it. What my feeling now is they get your money and did not review your mark. They just tell you that your mark did not change, I strongly believe that my mark will change. My conclusion is they really cheat people money.

I've failed twice. Exam technique is likely to be both our problem.
