DECEMBER 2021 RESULTS COUNTDOWN

My exam week before was chaos my wife and child were both ill with sickness and diarrhoea and I couldn’t get to a doctor to get the certificate. Tried all way up to 20th but couldn’t get certification as they wouldn’t certify after the fact, and couldn’t go at the time due to Covid. Emailed all this before the exam and put a mitigating circumstances claim in but don’t expect much, perils of doing this with babies lol

@Tony721 – please see ACCA’s Official response https://opentuition.com/topic/acca-statement-re-early-release-of-affiliate-message-2

Received the congratulatory email today. Reluctant to get my hopes up but received a follow up saying it is genuine and accurate. Had been reading threads from when this happened in 2020 and not receiving the email really is no indicator…

So I guess that takes the sting out of Sunday night for me – but also takes out the excitement of finding out I’ve passed on the night in a way…

Apologies Kim I’d misunderstood the message regarding Irish candidates, good luck to all of them. Apologies. Enjoy the theatre.

My anxiety regarding an expected first fail is meaning I’m getting too involved in something that doesn’t involve me

Thanks but allow me to exercise some healthy skepticism about that. As you said yourself in a previous post, 27 affiliates in Ireland last time around.

Between people I know sitting finals, people they know, here and Twitter I’ve already heard of over 10 people who received the email so I think the ACCA are just covering their base. It’s completely reasonable to think every Irish person who sat their final and passed received it. It’s not like we’re talking about India or US or UK who could have thousands sitting finals.

I think we have 6 people here from Ireland who got the affiliate email. I’ve seen another 4 on Twitter who have received it and I know of 3 who got it also along with another 2 they know of.

So that’s 15 people I’ve heard of who got that email. Last time out 23 people in Ireland became affiliate. You’d really wish the ACCA would be honest with Irish students here who sat their final. I think it’s safe to assume that if you’re an Irish student who sat their final like myself and didn’t get the email, it looks extremely bleak. The ACCA should confirm the status for Irish students.

It’s just really poor treatment.

Yes. If you’re an Irish finalist this time about you’d have to be the definition of naive to think you might still have passed.

The no of affiliates each sitting and the amount of confirmed emails would seem to point to every Irish student that passed getting one.

The ACCA statement was clear as mud. Basically doesn’t clarify the situation for Irish students at all. They should clarify if all Irish students who sat their final and passed received that email or didn’t. It didn’t bother to clarify that hid behind a vaguely worded statement.

Best of luck to you. Do you mind me asking which exam you sat? I did ATX but I think I will do APM in March as ATX has only two sittings a year and I found the volume huge in comparison to TX

Hopefully you got ATX anyway and you don’t have to wait another 6 months for it. Would probably be the best one to get out of the way.

Yes I will look for it too and hopefully they do the decent thing. Now have the hard job of taking my mind off this until Sunday!! Generally I’d only get the results on my mind the night of them but hard to do this time around.

Hopefully we can get a response specifically clarifying the case for Irish finalists before then.

Guys I’d say the December sitting is more popular than the September one so wouldn’t go by last sitting’s number of affiliates.

Well ACCA again boo booed. That what I was afraid of. Lucky Irish ?? ??

I’m super nervous and reading all these comments of people gaining their results earlier just makes me even more nervous.

I have a question,I sat 2 applied knowledge exams in Dec and have 2 outstanding knowledge exams left to sit to pass that module.

Should I be able to book the next level eg SBL/SBR for the next exam session in March if I haven’t passed the knowledge exams? As I’d have 4 outstanding at applied knowledge level if I haven’t passed both?

Not sure how this works

@Amy19891

Unfortunately with the possibly of 2 to 4 exams remaining you can’t jump up to the Strategic Business Level papers, as technically you need to complete the Applied Skills Level first.

However, if say you only had FM left to take and wanted to take SBL as well you could book both for the March sitting, but you could not book SBL on it’s own unless you completed the Skills Level.

Hope that makes sense and all the best with your exam results.

I didn’t receive a generic email from ACCA yesterday about March exams?

I can book exams again was sure it’s been frozen, though I’m probably wrong and you could book exams all the way through this and I’ve just not realised
