SBLACCA SBL Exam Results – December 2020 - Instant Poll and Comments

passed with 77 % first attempt

Passed 50% at first attempt! Huge relief as I had technical issues with remote session and everything freezed during last 15 minutes. It looks like my exam has been successfully submitted despite the technical issues. Thank you Open Tuition!

49 points. who decides why it is 49 and not 50? Is there point to make a complaint and ask for review? Thanks

Passed first time, thank you OpenTuition! I will be making a donation for helping me through them all! Thank you again!

Passed- first attempt- 62%

Passed 57% first attempt. Such a relief for me. Next onto APM. Sorry to those that failed - I know how disappointing it is.

@ndevic88 My advice is not to waste your money on an admin review. When the mark is so close to a pass, ACCA recheck the marks and make sure it is correct. I researched Admin Reviews because I failed AA with 49% previously. I couldn't find one person that had their exam marks changed because of a review. I went ahead with a review and thought it wasn't worth the money. The feedback is general and not great.

Finally passed this exam and Glory to God. For those who passed, a big congratulation and a round of applause. Those who failed, please do not give up and keep pressing forward. With the correct exam technique and skills, one should be able to pass this exam sooner or later. Word of advice : Time management is the most crucial element in this exam and try to attempt all parts of the questions as this will increase your chances of passing.

Passed - 75% 1st attempt! I was really worried about this! 2 more to go!!!

Pass 56%. Finally affiliate)

First time pass with a 68 - glad because it felt like the exam was so different than all the past papers I had been doing. congrats to everyone that passed and to those who were not able to this time - may you learn from the Dec paper and good luck on your next try! Thanks to open tuition and the lecturer!

My entire exams can be summed up in one word. Failed. SBL 49 first attempt

ok, thanks for your advice :)

Failed- 38 points, first attempt My main issue was time management, I knew after 4 h that I failed, I spend too much time reading the all exhibits from the beginning, during my study I spend more of the time studying and less practising (typing). I should have written more while practising, this would have helped me to manage my thoughts and time.

43 FAIL 1ST ATTEMPT.

Absolutely mortified to have failed at 27% on my 2nd attempt. I have never done worse. This time I thought 40/50 after messing up on time management on my 1st attempt. Really am shcoked and would love to know where I went wrong. In my first attempt in September, I got 38 % having only completed 70% of the exam.

What resources did you use to study please? Was it solely opentuition. I've sat the paper twice and I got 41% both times.

hey guys im attempting sbl in march 2021. any tips for passing?

Practice as many questions as possible

Practice questions as much as possible. This is the key. Use common sense in the exam (I didnt have to use one model for my answer when I passed, only common sense). Lastly, really understand they key words (analyse, explain, discuss, evaluate etc\) and make sure you know the different answer formats (email, extract from report etc) to gain all prof marks

First attempt and I had 69. Time to focus on SBR and APM

I got my results and the marking surprises me! spend full 4 hours and responded to all elements of the question in dept and confidence and the results I got is 13!!! How is that even possible? I am sure I am not that dam!!!! it is my final paper. On the exam day, my exam session will not close after clicking the end session button, 40 minutes of processing and eventually the session was ended by the Helpdesk (proctor). I reached out to ACCA to ask them to confirm they have received my response to all sections and this marking is after review full answers, response from ACCA, ask for administrative review which in my view is an absolute waste of money. You pay fees to ACCA and they tell you section A pass or fail without telling you why! so in my case they would not mention if I failed because they can see my response recorded in the CBE or because my answers were not satisfactory. Is it only me or are there others who are also frustrated and tired of lack of transparency by ACCA. Why are they so secretive of their marking, why do students do not have the right to know what they did wrong with their answers (even when you pay them their good income of GBP 60) all you get as response is "Your marking is accurate, section A pass, section B fail" Why not tell beyond that, why not share the marking with students so they can learn what they did wrong? they could do this at least for students who pay them GPB 60 for their valuable time! Is is because they doubt their marking mechanism and lack of confidence in their systems for marking can be easily challenged? if not why is there so much secrecy! ACCA need to be more transparent than this! Any advice ?

I failed at 47 % first attempt of SBL can someone guide me for retake and how to pass this exam should i follow open tution notes and deal with past papers of SBL

Hey, Please could you share your exam techniques! Your score is so impressive
