    Hope you are well,
    It has been challenging on how to exactly revise and pass Acca paper,
    I am from India finished my Degree, and have got exemptions for first 4 papers,
    Acca f5 paper has given me different challenges, as I sat for the paper twice and cannot understand where I am lacking back, Kindly help me out and advise on what I am doing wrong,
    Have gone through all your F5 lectures, Done with BPP Study Text and Revision Kit, past exam papers, Kaplan Revision Kit, still never felt September 2020 paper was hard, the timings were okay, theory was really good, Everything went well during the Exam and still got 37%! Kindly help me in redoing this paper as I am totally confused where to start back from.

    It is impossible for me to give you much advice. You write that you did not find the September Paper PM exam hard (it has not been called F5 for several years), although that does surprise me because most students commenting on the exam thought it the hardest Paper PM for many sittings, and the global pass rate is the lowest of all of the Applied Skills exams.

    When you worked through the BPP and Kaplan Revision Kits, did you attempt every question yourself before looking at the answers and learning from any mistakes? Did you attempt the mock exams in the Kits under exam conditions (i.e. strictly in 3 hours without checking the answers until afterwards)? Did you attempt the specimen CBE exams on the ACCA website?

    If you did all of that, then best would be to attempt a mock exam and get someone to mark it for you. We are not able to offer that service, but one of the training providers in Kenya will no doubt be prepared to send you an exam and then mark your answers. They will charge, but it should not be too expensive.

    Hi Mansi,
    So far I have passed all my exams in first attempt.
    However failed PM 2 times now, I had 39 marks in 1st attempt and 47 marks in 2nd attempt.

    While I was studying for it I enjoyed syllabus and did not find it difficult either.
    But was shocked when I failed with 39 marks.

    I’ll say try changing your approach to exam.
    I am planning to start with section C next time as in my 2 attempts I only attemped 1 out of 2 questions in section C, I felt I was panicked/exhauseted by the time I got to section C.

    Said that as John mentioned PM has the lowest pass rate of all of the Applied Skills exams.

    Regards,
    Jas
