Got 77%! Thanks a lot 🙂

i thought i did well. 2nd attempt 45pts.
disappointed but will try again March.

I’m really disappointed because I thought I did enough to pass, second attempt from 35mark in September to 39mark in December, not a big improvement. Getting ready for March, Please don’t give up!

To the old villa fan who foes the lectures thank you mate I’ve finally passed this 3rd time lucky with 55 per cent god bless you and your family mate and wish you eternal health brother

I’ve had a few beers tonight God bless you and sorry for the spelling

Thank you Open Tuition, got passed with Self Study with 65 marks.

Got 51% in Irish Tax today. Got 43% 4 months ago so I am relieved. Now to do Financial Reporting in March. failed twice. Hopefully third time lucky!!

Two words of advice I will give anyone planning to take the exam are:

1. Get the knowledge
2. Practice

1. 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!

49%. From what I’ve seen on various forums, recount is a waste of money. Oh well, we go again

Thank you mr Aston Villa, the lectures are brilliant.

A good solid pass for me 78% – I’m always happy to report to ACCA that I study with OT – thank you so much for your excellent lecture series.

Thank you OT for helping me pass this exam with your useful resources!

Congrats. Can you tell me where did you get materials for irish tax?
Thanks
