Waiting for ATx didn't receive DEC mail

I am surprised ACCA have not issued any statement regarding the email and we heard confirmation in here/PQ magazine. It talks about mental health and does not care what students must be going through. Seems it does not have any incident response plan to deal with situations like this

it was my first time writing a session CBE exam and I'm super stressed rn..hoping to pass wrote FR

I got book Dec exam and survey

I don't think posts are being deleted, I think the forum is just struggling to keep up with the number of posts. They always turn up eventually.

Everyone who like me hasn't received the email, what are you planning on doing? Has anyone started looking into other papers for the optionals they are going to attempt? I am thinking of going for ATX in place of APM.

@tasbihak if i were you i would stick to your original paper APM.. you already have all the knowledge required you just need to brush up the way you approach the paper under examining conditions.... always keep in mind that you will never have the same paper you failed in maybe you were just unlucky in the type of questions that appeared in September sitting

Can we get a result before monday.. I wrote my last paper and some people got mail saying that congrats u have been affiliate . Iam scared and worried . Can anyone help me

@tasbihak you don't know you have failed. If I'm reading it right, you sat you're final two exams? IF and its a big if, if not receiving the email does mean you're not an affliate yet, then it could mean you passed one and not the other. Also i wouldnt recommend making any rash decisions about changing your options, especially if you're not far off. I failed AFM first attempt but it looks like I have passed 2nd attempt, i had all the knowledge from my first attempt whereas changing would have meant starting over again.

@tabishak I wouldn't advise you to change over to ATX, even if you failed APM. The ATX syllabus is huge!

@frafiq81 I totally agree about luck of official statement from ACCA. this is extremely frustrating situation and they should think about mental health impact. We all have to deal with Covid 19 situation and this add to the stress. If ACCA leaves this issue till Monday it's just too long. They should address this asap

I'm back to ATX question practice as there's no point in waiting for Monday. At least I'll keep myself occupied (and sane!) :-)

@sbedm @saintdean @bereank Thank you for the advise. I was unsuccessful in APM in the March 2020 attempt as well. That’s why I thought maybe I shouldn’t go ahead with it again. I am going to wait till Monday, just trying to make myself ready for all of this. It really is ironic how all this has happened. Two weeks back, I cannot packed all my ACCA books neatly cause I was so sure I have passed them all. Will definitely wait till Monday but considering the number of people who has received them, I am not so confident any more. But if I have come this far with excellent results in other exams, can’t let this failure stop me from achieving my dreams.

@tasbihak I sat APM & SBL this sitting, and didn’t get the email. I failed ATX before, I got a really good mark at TX but the ATX syllabus is just huge. I am going to stick to APM if I have failed that. We might be pleasantly surprised on Monday but I don’t have much hope

I passed ATX at the first attempt 2 years ago and then took a break before taking APM in September. If you really want to switch to ATX I'd suggest skipping the December exam period and sitting it in March as it takes a long time to cover the syllabus. Depends what you prefer, ATX is more calculations and rules based where as APM is more theory based.

Its on acca Facebook now too

I'm feeling the same way. I just don't like the way APM is examined, the syllabus is manageable but I'm never quite sure if I'm answering the question or not. Seeing as I didn't receive 'the email' I'm guessing I didn't answer the question. I did TX ages ago and my technical knowledge isn't great but would rather manage a large syllabus and have concise exam requirements than the current set up with APM.

@tabishak I am continuing with my ATX revision (resumed two weeks after the exam). I wouldn't advise you to go for ATX in December as there is a lot to learn - unless you did TX very recently. Today I have begun practising an ATX past question relating to group relief, VAT and SSE. No point waiting until Monday :-(

lets see on monday if any finalist who did not get the email passed...

@jennie1984 thanks for the update regarding acca facebook page

@bereank @spango @ddmoo @sarahc92 Thank you for the replies and recommendations. I will definitely think this through and see what would be the best option. For now, just going to wait till Monday.

@jennie1984 is there a some statement on FB? I can't see anything

Let us see if there will be anyone who did not get the email and pass

Yes on ACCA Facebook page

the facebook page is location based... i am only able to access the india acca page and nothing on that...

What an awful situation. I did not receive the email but you always live in hope until you see the text message. I have lost all motivation and feel completely disheartened. It was supposed to be my last paper...really struggling to get through this journey. It feels like a never ending road :((

@Help99 dont worry be strong.. we r in the same boat..

Well, this may be wishful thinking, but, They have said that email go out in tranches, And it may also have been sent as per reg number in ascending order. And they’ve also said not having received the email doesn’t necessarily means you’ve failed. So maybe just maybe. One can only hope. Let’s forget about it and stop worrying for the time being, and to the people who did receive the email, congratulations!!

I can feel ur pain. after so many hard work at the end employers ask do u know excel? do u know tally? quickbook?sage? bla bla bla. nobody asks how u managed to pass such difficult exam. its a harsh reality....
