erm.....you can try, but with a 47 it is probably certain that you will not be successful.

Hi,

I got 49% on the P7 exam in the June 2011 sitting and decided to send off for an administration review....

It was pretty much a waste of money as all they do is add up the marks again and check against the markers sheets (they dont actually remark it!).

I really wanted to send the review off just based on the hope that they missed a mark or two, which is probably how your feeling now, but all the review did was confirm what I already knew deep down... that my mark would stay the same for the cost of £50ish!

I would recommend not to bother with the review and use the money saved to put towards your next sitting/retake.

I've just passed P7 this sitting and found that more question practise definately helps and sticking strictly to time allowances (1.8 mins per mark).

Good luck.
Andrew.

What is the procedure for an administrative review do you just fill the form and post it to the address given or can you email it? and do they send you a written notification that the received the form by email? and does the feedback you get is it by an email or is it given to you by post?

thanks in advance

i am yet to know anyone who succeeded in this respect, after all going through the review successfully will put the credibililty of the entire results in doubts.

plz u guys do not waste your hard earn money on a review,that money could be spent on the next sitting
Former userFormer user14y ago#15
It's a complete waste - I was so shocked when I got my results, I was sure they had made a mistake as I was confident I passed (I had never before been confident and still passed) - but it's a total waste and the system is not fair. I really thought thye had mixed my marks up with someone else!
Former userFormer user13y ago#16
i got my f8 result it is 46% and i failed it 3rd time can any 1 tell wht is the reason of failure i got same marks in previouse attempts have read whole BPP this time i do"t knw why this paper is not passing too much worried about that .
Former userFormer user12y ago#17
I agree with all of the above. It's a pure waste of money and quite frankly I don't think ACCA should be allowed to get away with treating their students like this. How are you supposed to progress and pass the paper the next time when you don't know the reason for failing it in the first place. In my opinion ACCA are a pure money racket and have no interest in their students welfare.
Aamcterna12y ago#18
It is not a review, it is just a way to take more money of you. The only reason I can see for paying £50. is once you got the feedback (which tells you next to nothing) and you still don't agree you can write in and ask for it to be assessed. If it was a proper review they would not be scared of sending you your scanned paper along with the actual marks and markers commments. That way you can see if either your confidence in passing the paper was misplaced and you can see when to improve next time. In fact I would pay money even on some of the papers I passed! I gather CIMA does something like that, but that does not suprise me. It appears CIMA are way ahead of ACCA in so many ways.

I failed F7 first time on 47 marks. I in my heart was expecting 60 to 70 marks. I didnt go for review. i accepted the failure and in my second attempt i got 64 marks. I advise all of you that accept failure and challenge yourself. Pray a lot for yourself and others. I think if someone is failing exam on or above 40 marks it means he/she has a good knowledge of that paper but does not know to apply it in the exams

I attempted F5 this December and got results scored 49 and I am thinking to send it for administrative review. Will it be useful that there is some hope I will pass rather than resitting for exam.
Ssaiyan200511y ago#21
i think it would be better u saved the money on nxt sitting and start studying now
Ppanditbandit11y ago#22
Don't bother going for an administration review. It's a waste of money.
KKakon11y ago#23
I fail f4 -45.f5 -48.f9-36.f6-35.i m deeply dpress now.should i do review or not??i hoped i will pass f4 n f5.but luck is not favour me
Ttonymc11y ago#24
Don't bother! Applied for one a few sittings ago and what a waste of time it was. Think I saw an article somewhere (could be pq) that stated the chances of getting a change in mark was 1/1000, and the result still did not change!
Kkeven11y ago#25
Its sad that these people wont change their way of doing things: they are in business unfare one ofcourse;
Kkeven11y ago#26
Instead of wasting yo money on reviews just consider resitting and never go for any review at all
Former userFormer user11y ago#27
Correct Im with Keven - take the money you would have spent on an administrative review and treat yourself to a day out at Alton Towers. The result will be the same but you will be feeling an awful lot better with yourself after a couple of revolutions on the Nemesis. Things arent so time pressured now with the new 7 yr rule and although it may not seem like it at the moment, there is more to life than ACCA. Failure is always an Option!
Aamcterna11y ago#28
I've said this previously. If ACCA were confident of their marking, for £52 they should send you a scan of your paper along with the markings instead of the rubbish they currently e-mail you. Then if you felt you had been marked down you could apply for a proper review stating why you think you had been marked down.
Former userFormer user11y ago#29
ACCA shud stop telling student to do their admin review. Coz they know they not gonna change anything. They just want student's money. Where is ethical there.
Former userFormer user11y ago#30
Thats very true amcterna
