General AA Exam advice

Hi,

I have taken the AA exam twice now (Dec24 & Jun25) and failed both times. First time with 41% and the second with 42%. The feedback I got from ACCA was that my knowledge was high but application of the answers not sufficient, however I fail to understand where I am going wrong, as I feel that I follow the model answer guidance. I don’t usually have this problem with other exams, it is usually my knowledge which is not sufficient rather than my application.

Is there any advice you can give me in regards to passing this exam and answering the questions? I will be taking it again in December alongside SBL. I would naturally like to pass this time, it is becoming frustrating as it is my last skills exam and I’ve already passed SBR. I have just 4 exams to go with this one.

Many thanks for your help,
