I’m not talking about the topper level. Like what if my friend gets 60 and I get 70 marks in a n ACCA exam. Does it really matter to get good grades or will just passing help? Does ACCA give first class ranking, second class ranking,etc? What advice would you give me. Pass or high marks?

I’ve never been asked what marks i have got in any interview, and i would say for most commercial employers that’s the case, having been an employer myself too. I think the majority will just look at whether you are qualified or not, marks might be more of a pre-requisite in larger practices though, i cant really comment on that
Best advice is to do everything you can to give yourself the best chance of passing

What do u think is a high/above average pass mark? 70+?January 12, 2016 at 11:19 am #294212Your marks are just a number… anything above 50 is pretty much the same, a pass.
1st time passes are good to boast about on your CV and in any interviews (employers have also been known to specifically ask for 1st time passes as a recuitment criteria)… but once you have more than 4, 5 years of quality WorkEx under your name these points just become trivialities and lose all significance whatsoever in the longer-run.
Of course, unless we’re talking about your F7, F8 and F9 exams where your scores will have an impact on what degree classication you get, IF you decide on applying for the Oxford Brookes Degree in Applied Accounting (I’m not up-to-date on this degree’s specifics and requirements as I never pursued it).
