hi, today the result release, and i fail my afm again, im confuse, disappointed, upset, why i fail it with a mark of 38 and 42 only, not only afm, other subject also before. i thought i do it better than before, which finish theory part and all question, but the mark are non different between previous attempt. i have do exercise which my tutor given(i have insufficient money to buy latest bpp revision kit), and red the opentuition free note, but the fact show that, my theory part are same level with previous attempt ( which previously ianswer randomly), even i using some knowledge from afm note which read in the opentuition note, but i fail again, feel so disappointed i only pass my exam after fail frequently. some student are able to pass the exam in first attempt, and some can pass it with 50 marks, and i would only pass it with mark which is higher than 50 mark, seem like mark between 42 to 51 are blank for me. is it a curse ?
does afm got any answering plan like AAA, it required calculate the risk and mention the issue, and action to taken. but i seen successed candidate who pass with first attempt, their comment are red coc, appraisal, apv,merger,demerger, forex and interest hedge, and some information. never seen required write the answer like AAA.
just one month more left, any method to study which can pass afm in this dec 2020, i have doing my own note too, i motified and combine note from different resource. and i am not full time student.
please share with me the plan study if i want to pass afm in dec 2020, there have only 1 month more left.
October 20, 2020 at 11:25 am #590748I am sorry that you failed the exam.
However after reading your post, there are three things you must do before you next take the exam.
Firstly, you write that you read our lecture notes. However that is pointless unless you also watch the free lectures that go with the notes. The notes are not a Study Text – they are lecture notes, and it is in the lectures that I work through the examples and explain and expand on the notes. If you decide not to watch the lectures for any reason then you need to buy a Study Text from one of the ACCA approved publishers and study from there.
In addition, if you were exempt from Paper FM (was Paper F9) then you need to watch the Paper FM lectures also, because a lot of Paper AFM is revision from Paper FM.Secondly, did you work through all of the Paper AFM Technical Articles on the ACCA website? If not, then it is essential that you do.
Thirdly, you must buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers and attempt all of the questions. You cannot pass the exam without practicing lots of past exam questions – there are only a few recent ones on the ACCA website, but there are many more in the Revision Kit. I know it costs money (but you can get a 20% discount if you use the link to BPP on this page), but it is a lot cheaper than having to pay for another retake!
October 21, 2020 at 12:35 am #590895do I need to read FM note together with watch lecture video ?
