Hey guys
Feb 8th is approaching, i dont know if it's just me but people dont seem to be as nervous as previous times... i think maybe the exams weren't as tough (except P2)
Anyway now that the answers are out lets predict our results to kill time
I did P5 - i expect anything between 45% and 65%
ACCA Forums
General ACCADec 2014 Session Results!!!!
I'm not nervious, but it's not because exams were not tough. It's more the opposite; there is no need to loose sleep as I know I get something between 25-35 marks from each P4 and P5.
@kibalka, as of today, there are still 23 more days and 16 hours, 31 minutes and 24 seconds to results so that's why people haven't got into results mood as yet.
I am not so nervous as the papers may have already been marked by now and there is nothing we can do to change our destiny. So I'm using my time wisely. Planning to start studying P2 again as there is a more likely chance that I won't clear it. It was horrible. So guys do something productive and kill the time.
Looking at those answers depresses me further since I don't even remember what i wrote for P5. I hope for a pass anyway because am tired of this paper.
@Gabriel you're right but still last session we started being nervous as early as July 5th, 33 days to results. Ask Mike Little, he was here trying to calm people down in that session.
@Seanan dont you worry we are in the same boat... Dec 2014 was my 4th attempt at P5 and am afraid maybe it wasnt my last
By the way anyone notice anything strange about the status report??? Mine has been since yesterday
@Kibalka…Mine is giving a strange information that I got some options in Foundation Papers I need to complete which I don't think is true. The last time i checked I had only P5 to complete.

@Saiyan2005….Thanks for that now I got the correct information but nearly collapsed when I saw the results only to realize it was for June 2014.

i think the results are currently being loaded because the status report has disappeared.... or is it just me????
@kibalka my status report, the screen just says loading.... but nothing appears. I refreshed my page so many times but no result :(
Exam entry seems not to load too.
I don't think results are uploaded this early. Maybe they are doing a general maintenance as it's just 15.Jan. We yet have a long way too go.
and even if they uploaded the results we can't see it before 8th Feb so why bother?
@Gabriel are u waiting for your final results, or you got other papers ahead?
I know P2 too well, you'll be surprised that you have passed it even if u dont feel it.. thats how that paper is
when loading your status report, just be patient, all the other items will appear except the status itself
my exam entry works perfectly fine, my Dec docket is even clearer than ever lol!
meanwhile when i go to 'exams' i am given the option to edit the content
@Kibalka…I can't imagine trying to reading the P5 materials again after these numerous attempts because there is nothing new. And its really drawing me behind. So I hope and really hope I can make it this time round.
@seanan if you are not successful to clear P5 this time round, why not consider changing your optional papers, maybe P7 or P6?
@Kibalka I had sat P1,P2 and P3 in Dec 2014 and I am planning to do P7 and P4 in June 2015 (but only if I pass the Dec exams) so I'm not a finalist like you :)
Did you clear P2 first time? I seriously didn't know anything in question two, and I feel that question will let me down. If I try to calculate my marks it's something like 8/25 for that question!
It's just frustrating that all P papers are with Dec 2014 uploaded answers on the ACCA website, except P2
@Gabriel…I have wanted to shift to another option paper but they are not what am interested in my career path. And I just don't want to pass and finish ACCA for the sake of finishing. I want to finish with a purpose. So the merry go round continues….
Nope i cleared P2 on 2nd attempt... i remember that exam was so damn hard!!!! i even started preparing for a 3rd retake bcoz i wa sure i'd fail... but wonder of wonders i scored 59%... for me i think P2 and P6 markers are usually linient
@Kibalka your spot on in that people seem more at peace with the pressure this time around. To my knowledge the anticipation was intense last time around, even a month before the results.
Personally, I was more confident sitting P7 last time and am expectant that worst and hoping for the best (thanks to the 25mark Q2).
This was my 3rd attempt of P7 (having passed all the others 1st time), so I've come to the conclusions that P7 and I are incompatible.
Quick question......................... how many attempts before you would opt for another paper?
If you've been down that route, share your experience.
@abdul you passed P2 first time. So when you sat P2 did you think you would fail? How much did you score in P2? I think you need a good teacher for P7. Maybe because you self study you keep failing P7
@kibalka I sat P2 for the first time in Dec and things aren't looking good so I might have to re-sit
@gabriel in all honesty I get the feeling that ACCA is bit like roulette..... I've not met a single person who hasn't passed an exam they felt they had failed or vice versa.
In terms of P2..... I didn't enjoy the consolidation aspect of the exam one bit, was underprepared and crammed for 2weeks.....::but somehow got 58%. How is beyond me.
My only guess is they are generous with marks as long as you have the workings and proforma laid out, because I didn't reconcile one bit . Hopefully you should be fine as most ppl get through P2 in 1-2 attempts;))
For all his faults the P2 marker is rather generous in his marking and you do get awarded marks for attempting even if not correct.
In addition if you look at the mark allocation for part one it is normally very generous with more marks available than you can actually score. Meaning even if you do not attempt certain parts you can still get high marks.
@Abdul thank for your reply. Could you tell me in which exam session you passed P2? Was it in 2012 or 2011? Please let me know and it should have been a June sitting, I suspect
@Gabriel I believe the sitting I sat was the Jun 2012 paper
@abdul yes that's why you were lucky. From my experience I've always believed that in P2 the June papers are more friendly.
@Seanan me too, i cant imagine redoing this paper again!!!! i think i'll burst.
I dont know but i think its time ACCA starts passing people on leniency.. i mean why should they keep students doing one paper over and over?? unless ofcos its more income for them. My buddy scored 46 in June in P5 and that was his 5th attempt... 4 marks, goddamn it! just 4mrks and he would have been afiliate!!!!! if i was the marker i would just pass him, i would reward his determination of trying 5times without giving up.
If someone has attempted 4 or 5 times and has scored between 45 and 49, why not just pass him...?
In any case by failing a person all the time casts doubt on the competences of other examiners... why would one pass 13papers straight up and struggle with just one?????
how did the 13 examiners pass him???
Anyway i hope all in all we all pass
@Gabriel when P2 is tough, thats when marks are easily gained... Am a living testimony, we got a very fair paper in my first attempt and everybody here was hoping to pass but not many did... i scored 47 and i was even tempted to do admin review...the following sitting was soooo difficult but we passed when i was so sure i'd not score more than 35
@kibalka I think your 2nd pass was a June sitting and your first failure was a Dec sitting isn't it? Please could you tell me which sessions you failed and passed. I also agree with Gabriel in that June P2 is more easier
well guys you could be right, i noticed the same too during my time.. but i failed in June 2011 and passed Dec 2011
I sat my first ACCA paper (P2) in December 2013..
Q1 was a Cashflow which I had not practiced and it showed because I messed it up in the exam.
I did a lot of my calculations on the Exam Paper as I stupidly thought would it would be placed inside my exam booklet when collected by the Invigilators...
I thought I would have scored in 30's but luckily enough I scored 61%..
With P2 it's very hard to figure out the marking system as it is very subjective. I have to say I think the examiner was generous in marking my paper not that I'm complaining.
