Same here, but 30 marks! Epic fail!

To be honest now after so many technical issues and even earlier sedning out emails to people about being affiliate, I do not trut ACCA that they really can truelly and fairly mark the exams. There is a money making scheme behind. Every organisation has a fail/refuse mark scheme just to make extra profit. I do not trust them at all at their scheme!

Honestly think my exam must have been corrupted, I was pretty confident I had done enough - even with the two hour exam delays! 49% is an absolute killer I’m gutted

Well, you still definitely have more strength that majority of people in your place would have, as you come here and share your thoughts. I hope you will pass next attempt although fully understand how you feel now. I was really worried that I will fail F5, F7 and F9 (rather numerical ones) and was really certain I did AA very very well. At the end, from AA, I got worst score from all exams I had. So after SBL I had good feelings in general but, due to the nature of it, also assumed that I may fail. And was quite close.

I got 36 which was my 4th attempt however I found the exam pretty simple and I thought I did enough to pass. I will be stepping down now. I wish there was a way to stop paying the subscription because ACCA doesn't know my worth.

Please can you share the link for sir hassan dossanis videos which you found 3 weeks earlier

Please those who passed give me tips how to pass sbl at first attempt

Can you please share the link of hassan dossanis videoa for which you are talking about it would be of great help

I am not surprised it was coupted. I feel exatly the same. The interesting thing, when you actually have experience working with charities companies and at the end you fail the exam - feels very weird. It means to me that markers might do not have experience in that sort of business and they cannot actually generate the ideas themselves.

Hi I_ACCA, This was my last exam and it went really well. But I failed at 47. Can you share some tips for my next attempt

@49% ACCA should have done something. The answers are so subjective at list ACCA should have given you a bonus mark or presentation mark only 1 mark. The Exam re booking fees are very expensive caused by ACCA inaction of refusing to give an additional 1. Maybe since its additional income to ACCA maybe they don't care much about our failing.

I think I will do a complaint to the Charity Commission for unfair making up the profit and increasing the revenew giving students unfair marks and do not disclose the data. As I say according to GDPR they should disclose all data and information they held about students and pesonal infromation. It means that ACCA does not even follow a simple law, which overwrites their own rules.

i got 67 at my first attempt, i thought i had probably fail it because i am rushing all the way and only left 15mins to finish up a 15m question. i dont even rmb what did i wrote after the exam, but i was surprisingly pass with 67! to be honest, i didnt really go through the model in the text nor all the notes provided by open tuition, but of course i did listen to all the lectures video provided by open tuition, it helps to enhance your commercial acumen. which is the most important skill to pass sbl. to practice such skill, listen and unds all the lectures delivered by Kent, do at least 5 to 6 past years, write the ans out in your own words, learn from the ans. dont spent too much time to memorize the theory, doesnt help you to pass. most probably only helps to structure your ans, but which from my view, it limits your creativity in answering. not sure if this would help, but thats my way, not even memorize any theories, pass with creative problem solving ans

Really disappointed with the result I was convinced I passed, I covered everything as I worked with charities before. They definitely want to control the pass rates so after they rich the target, everyone is marked at 48 and 49. Why can we not see the paper? what's such a secret?

I am considering transferring to Charter Accountants as I have colleagues that did so after failing 3 4 times one professional exam and now they are qualified as Chartered Accountants. Would anyone know if transferring is still possible and the exams passed with ACCA are still recognised?

I am ABSOLUTLEY shocked that I failed, I really think I did well, and yes, it is a money making machine and they definitely control the pass rate, they have to be kept to a certain level so well... I am really starting to think about transferring to Charter accountants as I have colleagues that failed acca exams more than 3 times got the transfer and passed first attempt and got qualified, I am still struggling.

Failed SBL and APM at 43 1st attempt. Honestly im a little bit shock when i can manage to pass AFM and SBL 1st attempt, and a little bit loss when i dont know what to do next... Might re register for the Mar 2021 section

I am thinking about moving to ICAEW as well, this is disgusting what they do. The other people who i spoke with say exactly the same: it is much easie at ICAEW to get the qualification.

Passed 74.....thanks opentuition !!!!

Just as an idea, the pass rate for Chartered Acountants Ireland was 87% in 2019. Pass rates below 50% for ACCA. Sometimes as low as 30%?

I do not trust them at all either, very very disappointed. I am waiting for Chartered Accountants to get back to on the transfer, the pass rates are 87% in 2019.

andy dont be hysterical. Although I agree, that since they mark each exam, markings should be available to you so you are aware what you did well or bad. And exams are transparent.

anyone planning a resit or first timer for SBR in December 2020 and want to get in touch for virtual studies together? please get in touch and lets support and motivate each other to keep on track for next few weeks. My email is [email protected]

It was my first professional exam. I gave it along with SBR and fortunately I passed SBL at 82%. I don't have any tips to give because I was pretty sure that I messed up my exam. I mean what do you expect to get with only a week worth of preparation. I never attempted an exam and the first ever Case I solved was on my exam day. So I don't know whether the examiner was being generous or I'm naturally good at analysis. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful to have managed to keep a clean fail-free record. I'm your average lazy student who is just trying to finish ACCA as soon as possible. It's been almost 2 years since I started my ACCA "journey" and I hope I manage to get over with it within 2 years or 2.25 at most.

Hi everyone i failed in my second attempt. 48 marks. I am trying to find model answers for the June, July and Sept papers. Does anyone have it? Please share if possible please. Thank you.
