Amazing,
Chris thank you for making me laugh whilst watching your lectures. God Bless you and your team!
Pass 75 % self study first attempt. Thanks to Allah. Thankyou so much opentuition. Chris and stephen did an amazing job. Yayy onto AAA.
Passed with 66 and it was my first attempt. This paper is marked leniently as I was only expecting a pass mark 50. Left with optional exams. Relieved.
It’s my first attempt and I already decided as I failed but I pass with 50%, It is unbelievable.
First attempt and taken with SBL, I got 34. To be honest I knew it was a fail when I saw the questions l, quite difficult for me. Nevermind will retake
Passed first time with 75%. Truly shocked as it was the weirdest paper but so relieved! Well done everyone
Hard to remember the exam now as I tend to block it out after a few days of post exam stress! But reading back on my comment in the last forum I remember feeling disappointed and having a moan that the exam wasnt what I expected but, I attempted all of the questions even if I wasnt sure…
Passed 67% and really pleased.Just 50 first attempt, but I had been preparing to retake! Thank you very much Chris and Sephen! The revision lectures are very helpful!

Of course… you have done the hard part learning the content. Spend this time to do revision which is plenty, and resit in March. Use the lectures to cover topics you need to revisit or just watch them all again. Do lots of practice exam questions and you’ll get it. Dont skip.

Sorry, but not, the mark will not change. It is waste of money and time for revision.
Sure you can do a lot better in March and the exam itself will be more conventional.Pass, 66% first attempt. In complete shock, the questions were so hard I was sure I was going to fail.
Passed with 58% first attempt. Glory be to God and great thanks to Chris and the whole of the team at Opentution. The lectures were amazing and so helpful. Be blessed.
Also passed SBR and failed AAA – 42 AFM – 45.
I have never been this confused on the next step to take in my life. ACCA costs a fortune.
Passed! 50! This was my toughest exam to date, felt like a lot of the big/more complex topics did not come up with exam more focused on more basic assumed knowledge from previous studies.
Don’t know how I somehow passed was expecting 35-40 marks with questions either not attempted or poorly answered.
Huge relief! One left! Congrats to everyone who passed and to those who didn’t keep going!

Well, the last exam was anything like the previous sittings, it required a lot of different accounting standards knowledge. The first 30 mark question disappeared, instead there were numerous 4-5 mark questions on different aspects of group accounting, including quite an unusual pension question. The ethics part was a 10 mark question instead of a 20 mark.
Two words of advice I will give anyone planning to take the exam are:
1. Get the knowledge
2. Practice1. Get the knowledge:
This involves making sure you are using the most effective method of studying, e.g. self-study or getting a good tuition provider. The lectures on OpenTuition is very good. I will highly recommend getting a study text and a revision kit from an ACCA approved content provider e.g. Kaplan or BPP.
Also, think about how many papers you are sitting in an exam. Depending on other current commitments, would it be good to do maybe just one paper at a time rather than two? I find it better to focus on one paper and pass than do multiple papers and fail them. By passing the papers one at a time, it helps keep the momentum.
I heard a quote in a movie that says:“The steps you take don’t need to be big. They just need to take you in the right direction.”
2. Practice:
When you study, make sure you have got the knowledge and understand what you have studied. One way to ensure this is to practice exam standard questions.
Practice is very important for many reasons: you intensify your understanding, detect any weaknesses, and enhance exam technique. All of these are very important not just to your exam success, but also to your whole studying experience and also at the workplace.One thing I realised from my early papers was that I fail not because I don’t have the knowledge, but because I have not practiced enough.
So I say: Practice, practice, practice!I will say one thing to those who failed their papers:
Failure is not final, failure is a part of our journeys and sometimes a vital part of our successes. Some of us who passed have failed once or several times before.
In all things, it is the courage to continue that counts. So don’t give up, press on, and enjoy the journey. You are already a success when you decided to sit the exam. Keep putting one step in front of the other. You can do this!All the best of luck to everyone!
