72% first time using only Open Tuition thought I’d failed for sure!! Thank you so much OT!!

Wow that’s a really good mark. Congratulations. Can you please in detail tell us how you did it?

Will be sitting for first exam in September.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Deepthi,
I am giving an retake in September 2020. I am looking for a study buddy. Thanks.

Thank you Opentuition for the online lectures. Was really helpful

First attempt with score 57, i thought i failed this time and was depressed if i had to wait until Sept to retake again, thanks God. All i learned is from BPP. OT and I even didn’t do any past exams because didn’t have enough time. Just focused on Revision kit and read several times.
Keep going all you guys. Now on the way to learn FR. Another difficult paper…

For anyone that is thinking of quitting because of a bad exam result, don’t lose heart! I have just passed the PM exam after my 4th attempt. I can tell you it is very frustrating and makes you wonder if you should be doing it but it honestly is all about your exam technique. Make notes on all the lectures and do exam questions. Open tuition provides exam questions and they also give a discount for additional questions in which you can try (only costs £10 – worth every penny).

I got 35%, 35% and 49% in my first 3 attempts and just thought I couldn’t do it. I passed this time with 63% all because I focused on correcting my exam technique. Remember that the way they ask the questions in the exam is more complicated than you think. (Do as many exam questions as you can!)

If you didn’t pass the exam this time, don’t worry, you can pass it. We all hit a bump at some point and it is about showing how you move on from this! Good Luck! 🙂

Failed with 43.Did anyone else faced the problem where the exam was interrupted due technical problems. Those interruption definitely ruined my exam, when you are just done studying the section C question and suddenly you computer gets locked, and you are shifted to the next computer for continuing the exam after 15 mins of interruption. Then you should start again by restudying the question.That was a time killer. Couldn’t concentrate on the question after that.Those 15 mins is where I lost it. Anyways, will bounce back harder next time.

I fail 44%, it was my first ACCA attempted exam, won’t give up next time I will get it.
Congratulations to you all that have passed, and to you all the did not, even though you still heroe for trying.

50% after failed many times – still can’t believe it. I have made a small donation – Thank you ever so much John. You’re the best.

Make a detail plan (take 2 weeks before exam for mock and past exams), then study for at least 1 hour everynight, full time (at least 8 hours) at weekend, dont go to bed before u finish the study plan fot that day.
I did that and pass with high score in first attempt. Exam isnt hard, everything in text book and past exams, u just didnt read enough.

Passed 62 second attempt, first was 35 in december, I messed up a part C question in March too but had enough in the rest. What worked for me second time around.
Put more emphasis on part C. I started with Part C second time around and probably spent more time than I should have on it.
Study past exam papers especially part C always similar questions come up and I found learning and understanding variances fully was a great benefit. I only uses OT and ACCA website.

Failed second time, got 36 this time and got 46 last time. Don’t know where I am going wrong. This is the first time I will be studying from open tuition, hopefully it will help me.

Guys, if anyone can help me with some studying techniques, kindly reply.

Thanks in advance.

I am keen to know what these exam techniques are.
I am yet to sit PM and new to ACCA. Can you enlighhten me if you dont mind me asking

How can I pay for these addirional questions for 10pounds? Thanks
