    Good day fellow ACCAs! When I last received my ACCA result , it was absolutely fantastic, and I’ve been lucky again! So , below is my status, since I started.

    June 2012

    F1 – Pass (S)
    F2 – Pass (S)
    F3 – Pass (S)

    December 2012

    F4 – Pass (C)
    F5 – Fail (C)
    F7 – Pass (S)

    June 2013

    F5 – Pass (S)

    P3 – Pass (C)

    December 2013

    That would explain it Khalid, fantastic achievement all the same! I’ve always worked full-time plus have a 2 year-old at home, hence why it’s taken me so long!

    @ Richard, aah we got a common paper there! Im taking P7 as a post-qualification exam, along with the Pakistani (PKN) variant of the F6 exam.

    Good luck to us , eh? 😉 Lets bury P7.

    Thank you khalid, I could have passed P4, This session was first time I took 3 papers in one sitting,Lack of question practice did me in. And it was always like that for me whenever there is an easiest paper I fail and at second attempt the toughest one I pass. This happend to me once for F-08. Thank you once again

    Great achievement, Khalid.

    Any tips you want to give to fellow OT members on how you manage 4 exams in 6 months. Seems quite difficult.

    Khalid, congratulations. However I think you are an exception rather than a norm. I am sure you excelled in high school as well as college. As Deelo has requested above, please explain to others how you manage to read 4 text books and revise to a level that you pass in such a short time. If you don’t, you may have just discouraged so many people who are struggling.
    I once read a posting here when preparing for P2. A guy wrote that he only needed two weeks to prepare for his exams. I thought he was showing off. He provided an explanation of how he studied smart and not hard. I followed his instructions and prepared myself for P2 in two weeks after having earlier decided I had no hope and would not go for the exam.( I had studied for 2 months before the exam but gave up until I read that posting) I passed on first attempt.

    Congratulations. If you are studying full time then this is what I would consider normal. In my final year on my degree I was doing 12 main exams per year with added assesments and projects in between. While ACCA is a little more tricky, 8 exams per year is very achievable to a full time student.

    I myself work full time in finance (thankfully) and have a 10 month old baby at home. How things change.
    Time is a key factor in exam success. If you have lots, you will pass easily with multiple exams.
