46 marks. Failed again on my second attempt. However, my first P5 exam was worse 🙂
A couple of things that I picked up from speaking to a P5 marker that might help people score those vital 1/2 more points or create more time for question 1 to scrape a pass:
1. Don’t ever write a conclusion, despite the examiner comments about “extra credit given where reasonably attempted” – they actually never give the extra 1 mark, 4 presentation marks require the standard titles, introduction and the use of sub headings. The introduction is important, if done properly, no concluding statement is even required as you are telling the reader what to expect and where it ends. You won’t for example get 4 marks if you skip a basic introduction but put a good conclusion with loads of writing.
Report

SubjectIntroduction
Heading 1
Heading 2
2. If you have a calculation question, you must write something – it is a report, if you just put the figure in without writing a sentence or 2 to explain to the reader the significance – you will be throwing away marks. You may even get credit for your explanation even if you got the calculation wrong – you must give a recommendation or answer if directed to in the question (e.g. the board is considering 1 of 2 options).
Just calculating the break-even without saying anything about it probably throws away 2 marks.
Good luck everyone

Thank you opentuition & its stakeholders.Were you working full time as well? Doing 3 exams a session sounds like a lot, congratulations on your results.
No, i was not working as full time employee, but after having passed my skill level papers, i joined an audit firm which used to give me around 30 days study leave, which i spent using opentuition notes+bpp revision kit+ tite sleep.
Passed with 55! Thanks God!! Finally an ACCA affiliate!
just few notes after reading the comments:
1. Get the easy marks, as in putting your answers in report format when required. That’s 4 easy marks right there, and you just need 46 others to pass.
2. Don’t give up, hang in there, this is really a paper that you don’t know how well you did or not until result comes out. I thought I did really bad until i got my result
3. For those thinking of going to p6, only do so if you are rill good at calculations, or else stick with p5, less calculations, and as long as u hit on some points, you might get lucky like me!Finally!!!! Passed P5 54% I’m over the moon! ACCA done!!
THANK YOU OPEN TUITION!!!!!

Thank you my lord for this gift. I struggled a lot and after 6 sitting I passed with 53. I cogratulate all those who completed this session. I am now an affiliate
Very well done those who passed P5 this time round. I have personally got to the end of P5. It is not lack of proper study, exam technique, question practice in exam condition, attend full time course, revision course etc, examiner’s reports, webnars, technical articles. I have done all these and still failed, so there is nothing left for me at P5. I have decided that it is not for me. I can understand if failure is due to lack of study, hard work or any of the above but I just do not know what it is and I cannot face those questions again as I exhausted them at the last sitting.
Good lack to you all. I am not the type to give up but this paper has made me reach this decision
