    I failed with 47%. Never failed any of my exams before. I guess self study just isn’t for me 🙁

    Passed first time with 80%. I have to say I didn’t study for the exam half as much as my other ones. A lot of it comes down to common sense and general business acumen, which was obvious in the June exam as hardly any technical knowledge came up!

    I didn’t spend a lot of time going over material after doing the course and revision with BPP. Instead I focused solely on practice questions, learning how they want you to respond to the questions as well as the structure they’re expecting.

    Passed the exam

    1st attempt: 34%
    2nd attempt 63%

    really thought i didn’t get it as i left out Q5 completely- 16 marks

    tips to pass

    1. not to focus on the models and theories but for the requirements use the actual wording throughout your answers and break down into sections for your answers to show you are answering the questions and leave spaces between every point to maximise marks

    eg one question I could have used SAF, but instead i answered based on the financial and non financial factors as required

    2. plan answers if possible as with bullet points so when i ran out of time i was probably awarded some marks

    Second time taking and failed with a 47%. (First time got a 43%). I hate SBL!

    How much is the syllabus changing for September 2019? Can I use the June 2019 BPP books for September?

    1st attempt. 57%.

    Only studied properly for less than two months (with a full time job and two kids). I did all questions in the BPP practice kit and a couple of mock exams.

    Thank you OT.

    This is my second attempt and I made it this time. There was really no technical knowledge to apply. Business acumen is the only key to succeed. Just make sure to keep going no matter what your result is. Cheers!

    PAssed 59% fisrt attempt. HAve finished with all first time passes , self studying. I did in just under 24 months F1 to SBL despite missing one sitting because of exam fees
    .
    This was my formula throughout
    1. Use ACCA materials extensively technical articles and never miss webinars
    2. us open tuition notes. (other study packs are unnecessaily long esp the approved ones).
    3. start question practise as soon as second week of study. ( you can never understand by simply reading notes
    4 . sit mock exams in timed conditions. ( if u dnt have time split into 3 sittings ten mark strictly.

    Passed. 70% first time. I did feel it was a really easy exam but the time pressure was insane.
    I did it with Kaplan exam kit and text book and Open Tuition lectures.
    In my opinion you need the following;
    1) Time to study the syllabus properly. I work, so took 6 months to study rather than the normal 3 I take.
    2) QUESTION PRACTICE!! This is so important. Normally I give myself 6 weeks of question practice but for this one I had 3 months. If you do that you get a sense of what the question is asking for and how to relate it to the the case study
    3) Watch and re-watch the professional marks videos. These count for 20 marks in the exam and you need to know what you are supposed to be doing when asked to evaluate, analyse, etc.
    4) Read the marker’s comments on ACCA. They tell you what they are looking for.

    These 4 things will get you through this exam 8/10 times. If anyone is thinking about what they should do after this exam. I’ve done APM and it’s very similar in style.

    Read carefully through all examiner reports, ACCA website has a lot of useful information on this exam and strategy on how to answer questions. Invest in a book from Kaplan/BPP. And practice. If not sure get a course, but lots of people including, me actually managed to get it right the first time and by themselves.

    I can not even tell you how many times I failed for SBL (previously P1)…… this theory exam killed me and thought of stopping my ACCA journey. Finally I have passed this time with 54. Just feel like to cry over happiness. 2 more to go but I am over the moon now!

    Thanks to Opentuition and ACCA webinar to recap the subject and the exam approach! I will make a donation to Opentuition today to show my appreciation and support this free website! Thank you Opentuition!!!!

    I got 4 marks worse this time, i think it was easier when it was more technical knowledge than just general business sense
