APM** ACCA P5 June 2015 Exam Results **

30 days of study leave omg. that is a lot

Passed on 3rd attempt, like finally...thanks so much this platform and materials, Opentuition ...

Failed again at 46% ?2nd attempt), it was 48% at first time. I don't know What's wrong with me, I felt like I got most of the points right for pass for the first attmept. Any suggest what resouces might help (a useful learning provider maybe) to offer me the final push to pass? or I should use the avaliable resouce from ACCA website and apply more to myself? I tried online courses both for Kaplan and APC (both not the updated version maybe that's the reason for not good enough?? Or maybe my Engligh not good enough that Marker relunctuant to give me pass? Helpful suggestion whould be much appreiated.

tips please

58! Done with ACCA. ACCA Affiliate now OT was very helpful for P5, especially transfer pricing chapter, strongly recommend. Thank you OpenTuition for free materials. Thank you OT people for being so much supportive, especially during the most stressful time.

passed with the magic 53 mark

hi guys, i had 64% and it was my first attempt :) Happy !

I am giving up on this paper.. After reading the marker comments and the answers I don't see anything wrong with my answers and the way I approached the paper. I have done 13 exams and passed at first attempt . With P5 I have failed 3 times. I have paid 3 times tuition fees, exams fees.. and time. I don't know what the examiner wants. I have read and read his comments .. and still cant get what I did wrong. I hate you P5!

U r right

What a lovely pass rate for P5 28 %. Alex made historical record. Enough failed 4 time goodbye to P5. Time to think about P4 or P6? ??

this is hugely frustrating :(, 4th attempt and fail again with 49 and I felt this was my best attempt ever. I must be doing something wrong... frustrating not get feedback on the areas of failure so not transparent..

How on earth will an examiner approve 28% pass rates on p5... The examiner must be enjoying this....considering p7

By Grace of God I have passed my exam with 50 marks. Congrates who passed and don't give up who failed the parer. This was my 4th attamp. 1st i booked with BPP fulltime, 2nd Kplan online, 3rd Kaplan fulltime and 4th time self study. I tried to write everything. Time management is the key as this paper is to lengthy, so stick to the time, don't over run. P7 is more harder than P5 as I tried P7 4 times and took P5. I have always used BPP materials for other papers but this paper I think Kaplan is much better and understandable. I just did past exam papers and pocket notes. Good luck to everyone.

51% 4th attempt,thanx to God Almighty and to OT

I have written this P5 exam so many times_ more than 8 times! I have still failed to reach the pass mark. Can someone who passed this paper at the JUNE 2015 SITTING kindly tell me what approach they took 1) preparation/studies 2) in the actual exam i.e. which question they started with and why, whether they attempted all the questions 3) the best way of dealing with Question 1-compulsory. 4) issues of speed reading and writing 5) which topics to revise from previous papers especially F5 6) issues of handwriting 7) a personal experience why you think many students fail this paper/"the secret to passing P5. Take note, I have read all kinds advice about what people should be doing, I want to know what YOU did for you to pass. PLEASE HELP!

i think people fail this paper, because its fluid. It so scenario specific and there isnt any 'correct' answer, however there are answers that are 'correct' for the scenario in question. Students who over practice are prone to repeat some things which might not be valid answers. Students who dont might be overwhelmed with the information presented to them. The balanced group, those who practice and apply themselves to the question are those who pass. Challenge ur answers while writing, it gives you more points to write and shows the examiner that its a well thought out answer. Never igonre the professional marks, its 12.5% of a pass mark

*8% i mean

4th attempt. failed 40%. this is my final paper not sure how to proceed. should I switch to p7? I need some advise as I think I have exhausted all attempts

I failed P5 with 36. It was kind of disappointing as I enrolled in tuition, revision class, mock exam and Question based day and took 5 days off work before the exam, plus the many hours of study after work and during the weekends. I have paid for the exam sitting in September but not sure if I am ready for it since it is just a month away. I think my weakness is thinking about the scenario too much, hence wasting a lot of time in reading rather than writing my answer. Also, under exam pressure, I am not able to express my answer professionally on the writing paper. P5 is a nightmare for me, but all I can say to myself is keep going, since I never give up in all the stuff that I have done in life. Good luck everyone. Don't give up for those who are resiting for the exam.
