* December 2021 ACCA SBL Exam Results * Instant Poll and Comments

66% 1st attempt. Yeeehaw

59% first attempt, best wishes to everyone

Alhamdulliah 57%

Passed at 73%. Alhamdulillah, it was my last paper

Passed with 55% on my first attempt. I am elated! Coming out of the exam hall I had no gauge on how the exam went. To those who did not pass, Do not give up! .my best advice, always aim to attempt two mock papers under exam conditions during the final week of revision to the exam and If you cant do that, you MUST DO ONE even if you feel you’re not ready for the exam.

Pass

64% First attempt.

@ranganaherath Thank you! I made short notes of the important models for SBL, then proceeded to do practice questions on ACCA platform and past year papers. Also, make sure to do timed mock, it really helps during the exam, just so that you can get used to the 4 hours duration.

Points can be taken from the exhibits, at least that’s what I did. To explain the points you should always explain on why the point is important as in “this means that…”. Giving an impact is also helpful when you write your answers. Your explanation has to be detailed and relate to the exhibit.

Always give extra points, just to be safe. Say for a 16m question (exc professional marks), I’d give 8 points + 1 or 2 extra points. At the same time, I would keep the professional requirements in mind. Hope these helps 🙂

61 2nd attempt..

Cleared with 56% on my first attempt.

Yessss

Just to share my preparation approach fully based on free resources:

1.) SBL OpenTuition lectures and notes ~ 2 weeks (big thanks to Mr. Ken Garrett)
2.) SBL Past exam papers/mock exams ~ 1-1.5 months on ACCA practice platform (incl. 2 mocks in real-time 4h exam conditions)
3.) SBL ACCA Technical articles – all the time/ everywhere through mobile phone
4.) SBL Revision webinar of Mr. Ashim Kumar – 2×4= 8 hours priceless practical advices how to approach SBL

No textbooks and revision kits!

I’m a full-time employee with 2 children, and study late in the evenings (~3 hours) and weekends if possible 🙂 .

Good luck to everyone!

In exam I kept the time management covered all questions and I made sure I was not repeating myself also kept the answers to the point, basically followed all the tips from examiners report.
Now I am so lost, don’t know where to start with my revision with resitting.<br>The most upsetting is I spent so much time preparing for exam, away from my children and not spending weekends with them, is nearly 3 am and I cannot stop crying. What do I have to do to pass? Please advice someone.

I felt like this after I failed it the first time (37). The second time, I took a more relaxed approach to it and focused on time management. I downloaded all 7 past sessions of the exam and attempted them once. I had 56 this time around.
