ACCA SBR September 2020 Exam Results – Instant Poll and Comments

I passed SBR which I thought I would fail I failed in AAA which I thought I would pass

Hiya – I passed SBR with 79%

Advice – do not spend so much time on the study text, get straight into the questions it covers the entire syllabus and I thought its a better way for info to stick in my head. I spent 3 weeks learning, and then the rest of the 3 weeks revising questions.

My method was going through the exam kit and answering every single question in the kit, I actually went through this twice.

The second time i did the questions I attempted the questions in the practice to pass platform so I become super comfortable with the software.

Make sure you’re strong with group accounts and ethics as it makes up 50% of the paper! Ethics is usually like 20/25 marks and it’s quite repetitive, even doing 2/3 past paper questions on ethics you’ll notice how similar it is…

Answer in short paragraphs, 2/3 sentences, leave lots of spaces so it’s easier to mark.

Stick to your timings, if you’re spending too much time on a question move on, it was hard to do when practising but on the day i was strict, and made sure i answered each question.

Make sure you know a little bit about each of the standards (don’t need to know the numbers), but if you’re able to explain the background of each one you’ll be fine.

Financial instruments are super important in this paper too it appears in every exam so ensure you’re strong on it.

Finally I read the examiner reports for the previous 3 sittings.

Hope this helps 🙂

I studied 6 hours a day for 1.5months but studied towards AAA more. In the end I failed SBR.
