My main advice to those who failed is read the examiners articles that have been released today on the SBL June sitting.
When I first sat this exam I thought it went ok. Then I came onto the open tuition forum and saw lots of comments that really made me doubt myself and my answers. Things for example like many saying they’d ignored the grid format in q5 (which I had pain stakingly used) .. it made me kick myself at the time. And Q2a about how the scepticism view should have been aimed more at whether we should be sceptical of the comments of the expert reviewer. And many people using Models like Tucker’s and SAF which I had avoided. Needless to say I felt very sure I’d failed.
But reading the examiners article they have mentioned all of these points saying they were weak choices and did not score well and it turns out my original feel for the exam going quite well was actually spot on.
Read every examiners article after you do the corresponding past paper. So many times they mention not falling into the pitfalls of models and explaining how candidates misinterpreted the requirement. I can’t stress enough how important the examiners articles are for this paper.
I studied for this in 4 weeks with a Kaplan text book, open tuition videos and ACCAs past papers and exam articles along side a full time job. I knew I’d left it too late (I couldn’t even get on a tuition or revision course as they’d already all started) but didn’t want to miss the sitting and I’m glad I didn’t give up! There are some amazing resources out there so make use of them! 🙂Passed, first attempt using BPP materials and attending a learning centre. My last one so I am now an affiliate. Link theory didn’t work although at the time I hadn’t completed PER so that may be why? Relieved to have finally finished all with first time passes in 33 months (with 3 exemptions as already done AAT)
Second attempt and I scored 58. March 19 attempt, I had scored 45 though I was expecting 55. During weekends, I practiced past year question papers plus those in text books (Kaplan). I compared my answers with model answers and marked areas of improvements. While during other days I focused on concepts and theory. This approached worked for me.
Passed with 69% on first attempt
Paper was issue/recommendation based and not at all technicalWas nervous since SBL is the first ACCA paper that I attempted ( I have 9 paper exemption)
Fail at 1st attempt which is 43 and this is my first paper below 50 in ACCA exams. Maybe too focus on the model part and set aside the business sense, perhaps. This is my last paper and hopefully notes in the open tuition will be my saviour in september seating.
Passed 1st attempt with 63% – Hood question practice and time management will make this paper easier to pass.
Failed with 46 🙁 – I left most of Q4 due to time pressure.
Can someone please tell me what everyone means by “Link Theory”?
Thanks 🙂

it means link theory to practical solution. There’s no need to write about model / theory, but you need to show how you apply it in practice (what it helps you to understand, how it can make things work better etc).
