*** ACCA P5 March 2017 Exam Results ***

I went for three first attempts to try and complete the qualification:
P2 – passed 66%;
P5 – failed 45%; and
P7 – passed 73%.

P5 just had to spoil the party!

I’ve failed P5 for the second time, this time doing a lot worse than the first attempt even though I thought I did better this time round. I also failed P4 in June last year but I’m thinking of doing it again in June, however if I fail again in June I will lose my job. Any advice?

TIA

FINALLY AN AFFILATE!! THIS PAPER MADE THE JOURNEY EXTRA LONG….BUT THANK GOD, ITS OVER NOW

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFFLIATE. Thank God exams are over.

Thanks khalilm. You are right.
I have managed to calm down 🙂 I will resit P5

Passed with 51. Perseverance and prayers. Congrats to all who made it, and to those who didnt please endure you will make it. These messages can be scaring but at the same time encouraging that if others can make it, then -Yes U can!
Am now affiliate.

Can’t understand why I keep failing this paper read examiners article did pass paper also touch all questions . Really need help because I thought I understood the requirements.Would be grateful for some concrete advise from the tutors can’t afford to fail in June will lost P1 if I do have two papers left and must pass then in June, would appreciate any help. Sometimes I feel like giving up ACCA because I am really trying.

Second attempt pass with 53%. Done and dusted. Now an affiliate. Congratulations to all the other newly qualified affiliates and all the best to those still hustling. It’s possible!

Congrats to those who passed, I got 48 again, too frustrating and a drawback with one paper only to be a full ACCA

57% and I’m done with ACCA after 38% in December.

However, this paper is taught poorly IMO (by BPP for sure) as it is over-complicated. The basis for passing this paper is to approach it from a management perspective and NOT a strategic perspective. However, this doesn’t provide any clarity – not for me at least.

Nevertheless, after researching quite substantially after my fail …. I realised that this paper will give minimal credit unless providing your own insight. Basically, state the theory and REGURGITATE POINTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE SCENARIO. In effect, providing there is some logic to your answer, there are endless answers that will be given credit.

For example … implementing a new integrated CRM will be great for collaborative working as per the text book – BUT … this may have an impact on staff levels and thus creativity duen to the cost impact.

That’s a very basic example, but my point is that requirements can be simplified. We are told only 20-30% relates to theory, so this is all you need to know. The other 70-80% will be in respect of what we can come up with. And in that sense, there are almost limitless correct answers.

Good luck for all those who have not passed! Perseverance is key here.

I do not get how people can keep sitting same exam for 5, 10 or even 15 times. How much time it takes?
In last case it should take liek minimum 5 Years. I think ACCA is limited to 7-10 years if I remember.

What a long journey because of P5? So many sittings and got around 40’s.. i do n’t know what to do now. I am soooooo depressed and no strength but i believe God will answer my prayers in June. I cross my fingers.

Happy for you guys who managed to get rid of this paper.
