*** ACCA P3 June 2016 Exam Results ***

Got 63%
Thanks be to GOD
Coz I attempted 80% of the exam due to time pressure.
I got shocked wit the mark,

Now preparing for P1 & P4 for Dec
Then declared Affiliate

Congrats to all those who passed! Any advice for September sitters? I.e. How you prepared for this exam, study tips, past paper reviews, models, etc? Thanks!

I suggest forget about theory and focus on the past exam papers. Try to exercise as much as possible and try to make mental reference to actual worldwide situations.
In exam try to split questions into as many parts as possible and leave empty spaces. Then write relevant ideas as you attack the question / text.
For June 2016 P3 exam I spent only 1 day to exercise the past 2 exam papers. In my last 2 sits I re-read Kaplan books 2-3 times, but failed with 45-46.
At last I passed P3 and P2.
I was re-assured that ACCA P level exams are much more interested in common knowledge + some theory application.

Thanks Opentuition, this time I totally self-study, relied on OP, so delighted, one paper p5 to go. share my performance p1 58, p2 66, p3 62, p4 66, and how about p5 in september exam session? I wish a 60+, because I feel its bit easier thsn p3, hope so.

Markx doesnt matter in acca . just a pass is neccesary

i failed but all the same i thank God, but honestly speaking i dont understand why i failed cus i had put in much effort in P3 than i had with p2.

It’s very demotivating but i know My God that started with me from F1 i know He is still alive and i know He would end with me in peace but not in pieces

yes,you are right, but just for safety of margin. my advice to you for passing p3 is that understanding tech articles, key book knowledge/models, practice as many past paper as you can, attempt all question, don’t leave blank, writing as fast as posdible, but eligible for marking, try use good english, that is enough.

Passed with 50 marks , unbelievable mark !
Decision tree question saved me
I finished all papers
Thanks a lot to the OP notes, Ken and his great presentations

I read all articles but you will notice that Ken Garret wrote many of them and lot of content is actually in OT notes.

Passed with 61% first time attempt. On to my last two P6 & P7 🙂 I am very happy and I use RCA Edinburgh classes, lots of past paper questions and practice and most important a positive mental attitude 🙂

Failed with 48, i guess acca really like seing me in the exam hall for the 3rd time

Failed for second attempt feeling demoralized. Got 39%. read all the technical articles and tried to to make application but messed up with decision tree. congratulation to all who have made it.

P3 passed with 60%, which I am delighted with 🙂

On to P2 for December now!! :-/
