SBL*** ACCA Paper SBL September 2018 Exam was.. Instant Poll and comments ***

Hi, May I have the link to acca to see the question?

@george18 said: I'm just hoping the ACCA aren't aiming for a scarily low pass rate for SBL, as is the case for other Professional Level papers. Keeping my fingers crossed!

At the tutor events for SBL I asked the examining team about their expectations for the pass rate. They said they had an open mind but were expecting similar to P1 and P3, so around 50% seems likely. I would be surprised if it is less than 45%. Given the newness of this exam, surely students have done all the specimen papers, which if anything should mean the first sitting standard is a tough higher than the long term average that emerges, but we'll see.

Thanks sir.I read your post at AAA forum and some students didn't understand you.I think you will be usefull to us here.please why is it that ACCA essential papers pass rate is higher than the optional paper's. Also you said at tutors forum the examining team said they will aim at 50% pass rate.please are you sure with the trickist PID question and trickish SBL exams.ACCA will get the 50% pass rate.thanks

The notes and lectures on Opentuition work perfectly. But you should get a revision kit to practice the kind of questions that might come on the exam. I spent the last two weeks before the exam just practicing questions which helped a lot getting familiar with the style and type of questions that might come on the exam. The questions in the exam mix topics from the whole syllabus, but at least make sure you are familiar with the different models for strategic planning, risk etc. Then you can refer to them and apply in your answer.
