PM*** ACCA PM December 2018 Exam Results ***

Passed with 54 focusing on question C first then question A dues to the lack of time I just guessed the answer for question B my ressources were only bpp study and revision book and of course OPENTUITION Very Many thanks John and OT for your quidance

Finally passed! 1st attempt: 48 2nd attempt: 43 3rd attempt: 58 (FINALLY) It was a tough paper. Has always been tough. Run through as many past exam papers as you can. And be consistent with revision!

Failed with 40% and now i'm booked to go on Taxation from Saturday which I can't change. Does anyone have any insight of which might be a good combination paper to retake this with as I want to resit asap.

I failed with 47. I am devastated to say the least :(

Passed with 82% first attempt. For those who are asking others how they prepared, this is what I did: - Went through all of the MyKaplan study videos for each and every topic on the MyKaplan portal. Took screenshots of all the material, and went through the case studies. - Did all Open Tuition practice questions and watched the lectures on topics I was weak in. - Did all available mock exams (I even bought some extra mocks from Kaplan). - Covered ALL of the material (not all in depth but had an understanding of everything). I think an example from the December 2018 exam was the Beyond Budgeting question, which a few people I know were unprepared for. A few easy marks that could have been gained from a small topic of a few pages in the text book. - Cover the Section C questions in depth in the exam kit. You'll find they bring a lot more depth to the topics, and gives you a better idea of how to answer the question. - Exam strategy was Section A, C and then B. I felt this really helped, as you give yourself more time for more opportunities for marks. Hope that helps :)

Failed 49%, 3rd attempt, Just so flipping unlucky!!! thought I had smashed it

Dear students I have failed F5 5 times Any advice pls

Passed with 64 - this was second attempt. Thanks OT for the lectures! I failed my first exam after doing an expensive course through one of the providers... OT lectures and revision kit all the way!

Passed 50%: 2nd attempt, 1st attempt 46%. Used OT and Past Questions Thanks OT

The only advise that i can give you is, don,t give-up and practice allot, i am sure that you will pass eventually..

First attempt - 32 Second attempt - 34 Third attempt - 35 Last attempt- 57% I will say, do not give up. Bn writing PM since 2016 and finally got victory. Just give it all you have and practice alot of questions. Thanks to John and the entire OT team. Doubt success would have bn possible for me without your videos.

Passed 67% first time :)

It would be interesting to know the break downs of scores versus section C questions...I felt quite fortunate to get the the E's police forces question tbh, just coz aslong as you knew the difference between the 3 E's you could get a quite a few marks. The revised budget question was also not too bad whereas transfer pricing was a weaker point of mine I was glad to avoid it. Would also be interesting to know which questions were the ones that weren't actually marked on but guessing we never find this out.

Agreed. Thats what bugs me, I would love to know where I was wrong and what could have been better, but I guess due to loads of student, they just can't write a detailed feedback of the exams.

Got 48 % in f5 Really sad bcz I have expected more and I thought I would pass this time I wrote 2 papers this time f5 and f7 F7 was a bit tough for me but still I passed with 57% I don't know why the result came like that Easy paper fail and difficult one passed Is there any re evaluation in acca?

I passed with 51%. Thanks to John for a job well done. God bless you Sir. I am grateful.

Failed with 49%. My third attempt :(

don't give up f5 it sooooo hard i hope u better in next session ...

same here 49 lol let's get prepared for the March session!

Failed on my second attempt how well do I prepare for this paper please

I passed at 58 blessed ""***""

65%! watched all the lecture videos on topics i had trouble understanding in my face to face class and managed to pass the actual exam (finally) after three attempts at mock exams :)

Congrats! I'm planning to do the PM on March. Please give me the best advice and the study resources you used. Thank you and good luck!
