Beyond delighted to have passed.
I would have bet a lot of money my result was between 45 and 60 but I got in the 70s. All I can say is they marked it pretty generously!!!
This was my last exam, so thanks and goodbye OpenTuition!!
Passed with 4 weeks preparation!!
I was working as well.
Over the moon!But I spent 10 hours a day studying.
I am CPA qualified.All the best to all. Those who failed never give up.
Attempt all questions and work out past papers..that’s the key for passing.
78% first attempt, am now an affiliate! Only Spent 3 months learning the syllabus whilst working full time, Open tuition has been invaluable every step of the way. Thank you!
Passed! 1st attempt. Thank you Mr. John and Opentuition for the best lectures for self-studying!
My advise who studying this subject now:
1) understand all technical concepts very well and you’llbe able to apply this to every question. Don’t spend lots of time to revise topics you already know good, just go further. For example, if you are already pro in NPV from FM – don’t waste your time for revision of this with many questions again, NPV is usually all the same, just follow scenario. Only new thing on AFM for NPV questions it’s double taxation, forex, and different way to present tax allowable depreciation. It is not as difficult as sounds. Just few more techniques for NPV;
2) don’t ignore topics that you don’t really like and understand. For example, I didn’t really like collars, and I got them on exam. Oh wish I studied this properly! Anyway, I passed thanks god. But could earn more marks. Sometimes these few marks need you to pass!
3) Writing, professional marks. This exam gives you quite a lot of marks for professional skills, and your writing application. Just write as much as you can. Even you think it’s something unfamiliar, take a breath and remember real-life cases and write common sense things.1st Attempt and Passed.
Thank you Opentuition.
I started with Opentuition and finished with Opentuition.
I am now an affiliate because of your invaluable lectures.
I am forever grateful to you guys.Passed with 50%.
My suggestion is: (Don’t do the mistake which I did).
Suggestions are:Investment Appraisal is our best friend
Risk is our 2nd best friend
Please Don’t trust Merger/Acq & Corp Rest (Our Biggest Enemy)So prepare IA and then risk and leave M/A+CR for the end because this question will puzzle you always.
In paper do first theory parts for each question(because i did mistake of solving numerical and wasted alot of time).
Try to solve atleast 85-90% of paper.
I solved only for 67-70 marks (That was one of my mistake).
Do atleast 10 past papers.
Theory theory theory – I just passed because of theory + professional marks (Never miss them)Finally, I have managed to pass in my AFM exam after a multiple attempt and completed all of my ACCA exams. Thank you so much OpenTuition for the guidance, free lectures & free notes. I will be forever grateful to you. Also for AFM, i watched Mr Ahmed Shafi’s lectures on youtube and there are other lectures on youtube which were very helpful too.
To those of you, who are struggling to pass, dont worry you will make it too. Just keep practising the past papers. I did from Mar/June 2017 till the latest one. Note: from March 2017 till Mar 2018, it is not like you got to do each and every question, just do the ones which are very different and tough (as you will see there will be some questions being similar to the latest one, so you don’t really have to do them, unless you have time).
And remember when you practise, always time yourself. Time management is the key.
If you cant practise for 3hrs 15 min regularly (do it at least for once of course) then at least try to break down your practise like do a 25 mark question for 45 minutes and then take a break, then do it again. In these ways you get to improve your time management slowly.Hope this helps some of you. Once again thank you so much Open tuition. Sorry for the late post.
