Failed with 40%, but I did also sit ATX, which I passed with 61% and that is where I really put all my efforts.
So, roll on March for my SBR re-sit (my final exam) and hopefully I will be qualified when April comes around!
Congratulations to all who passed and Qualified on the back of this sitting!The people who passed 10-20 years ago seem to be the ones who suggest doing more than 1 at a time. I know there are fewer sittings now so it’s easier to split them, but have the exams changed so it’s harder to study for more than 1 simultaneously?
All exams so far have taken A LOT of work so I think I’ll stick to my strategy of doing one at a time.
I thank God,I passed first attempt,all thanks to the open tuition video lectures. The examwas pretty hard but i passed….
Hi congrats on the pass !
Could you please shed some light on your thoughts from the exam and content that came up ? Any helpful advice would be great I am sitting the paper in March.
Hi all
Could you please shed some light on your thoughts from the exam and on content ? Any helpful advice would be great as I am sitting the paper in March.
Many thanks
I passed first time. Be advised that the past question papers e.g. Those in the exam kit are different from the actual exam. Make sure you really understand the standards not rote learn them to then be able to distinguish them in any real real world scenarios.
You need to be able explain your thought process in calculations when asked and what is happening and where you are not clear about what is required state your assumption and give an answer.
Its alot about evaluating and pretty much unravelling scenarios with applicable standards which you need to be able to identify on to our own most of the time.
First time passed first ever exam too. Struggled with time – advice for anyone would be practice exam questions well ahead in timed condition as soon as you have good understanding of the topic. DO NOT leave this for last week like me. Now SBL and AFM for me.
I did questions under time conditions 1 month prior to the exam and still struggled… I think with the way this paper it’s going you really need to understand the concepts by reading the technical articles and other journals e.g. Pwc has alot of articles on IFRS standard on their website which can help greatly to widen up knowledge on a topic and to think outside the text book and revision kits model answers.
Hi thank you for your responses. I have covered the syllabus and was planning on the following.
Revise consolidation till end of January including BPP kit and past papers.
Then Feb for the remainder of the syllabus.Averaging about a 2hrs after work during weekdays and heavy weekends. Two weeks off work in Feb prior to exam to really nail down.

I work full time and as such would only advise to take one exam at a time. I have not passed all my exams first time, so I have doubled up at the next sitting to sort of play catch up. Which is what I was doing here.
For me I would rather the additional stress and study time, compared to taking a further year or two (potentially)
You yourself know what you are capable of, but during exam week it can be too easy to jumble up and risk failing them both.
I was aiming for only 50%. So I was completely taken back when this mail was sent to me.
Passed with 62! I read for 1week using open tuition and BPP exam kit. Thank you open tution
I am Ajith here doing self study, please send me helpful info to get through. thank you email. ajithsak1030@gmail.com
Passed with 71% at the first attempt. Very pleasantly surprised as this was a tough paper with the examiner throwing in lots of subtle tricks to throw candidates off-track. I used the Kaplan revision kit combined with the excellent lectures Chris from OT provided – @P2-D2 thank you so much.
I think the key is practicing as many exam style questions to time from the outset of the study period and ensuring you know the IAS/IFRS. Read the SBR technical articles on the ACCA website, you might not think it at the time but they really enhance underlying principles and consolidate knowledge.
Well-done to all that passed and for those that didn’t, your day is only a good study period away – keep going!
