General ACCA*** ACCA P1 June 2017 Exam Results ***

After some pain and disappointment in March (48%), passed P1 with marginal improvement. Phew. 13 exams down one (P7) to go. Not sure if I will sit September as only 6 weeks away but I would very much like to be Affiliate going into 2018. My own journey has been long and hard with many family sacrifices over 10 years! My advice......even when you feel like there is no end in sight, it will come eventually. Never give up on your dream. Good luck

Passed at 63 at first attempt with only 3 months study together with P2 at 50. All praise to God.

PASSED 57% JUST P2 LEFT TO GO.

@nidsy said: 79% first sitting. Shocked :D

wow ! congraatss..Would you mind sharing tips onn how you studied ?? :D

Those of my friends who are not able to pass this time rememer that at times Life may knock you down badly BUT the key is to pick yourself up and fight again and again until you succeed. At one time i was so demotivated that i left ACCA with 11 papers knowing that i won't be able to complete it, but resumed after a long period of time with new determination and ambition and qualified the remaining 3 in first attempt. Keep fighting.

50. Third attempt. Finally

First attempt, passed with 63. Thank you open tution alot.

Hello Jasmin!! Thank you :) To be very honest, I shunned the textbooks as I didn't have enough time to study (Hardly studied for a week) and switched to some online class materials . I understood that P1 did not require much of book work as it is a very 'general' paper which can be aced with good application technique. The KEY is to apply the concepts to the SCENARIO and link them well. Plus, keep in mind the VERBS. You should structure the answers based on the verbs. I guess it pays to quote relevant real life corporate governance/ethical issues as well as I clearly remember citing some cases here and there. Most importantly, PRACTISE as many past questions as you can. That's more than enough to crack P1. Cheers :)

50% 3rd attempt

45% first attempt ?

My P1 over the last 4 years: 1) AUG'13 - First attempt with home study for 2 days (TWO DAYS) -----> 47% 2) OCT'16 - Covered entire syllabus by studying every day and night for 2 months ----> 31% 3) DEC'16 - Studied for 2 weeks and reached 25 MINUTES late to the exam -----> 43% 4) JUN'17 - Continued studies from previous attempt for an additional 2 weeks, arrived early->43% The less I care about this exam, the better I do at it.

You definitely have a point. The P1 exam is all about application. You have to use the scenario as much as you can. I would suggest you read a P1 revision kit at least twice. Once you have read the whole revision kit, then you can start planning and writing down answers. https://opentuition.com/topic/your-opinion-needed/

Passed with 51% and also passed F9 with 57%. 10 down, 4 to go......
