PM* June 2021 ACCA PM Exam Results * Instant Poll and Comments

Passed with 65% first time.

Hello everyone. My name is Fatima. I use to attend lectures for ACCA in 2018 but I stopped before I could write any paper. I’m ready to start over again. Can I study via lecture notes and videos on open tuition? And how do I ask for assists here

First attempt pass with 61%. I was expecting a failure, therefore, it was a really nice surprise!

Many Congratulations for passing this exam . i am preparing for it and i know this is not the easiest of papers to pass . Could you tell me from which syllabus area they asked the Section C questions from please ?

I failed at 49,my second sitting. I believed that I had given my best till the very end, practiced kit questions,mock tests,etc. I was hit hard by one of the section C question which was of CVP. I just couldn't attend that question. So,I attempted paper of around 85 marks. It's quite disappointing to be on this side.

Passed on the 5th attempt, this has been the only paper at skills level holding me back from progressing forward to professional level. Had 49 on three of those attempt if i can remember. How crazy is that

Any tips for the exam?

Any tips for the exam?

49, is painful. is there any chance of passing if i go for remark?

I failed PM in December 2020 particular due to poor time management and limited efforts with revision (i scored 46%)and because of CoVID 19 I could not retake it in March ,which was actually a blessing in disguise (if I had retook it in March with the same approach ,I was sure to fail it dismally again) so I initiated a new strategy where I had a month to go through all OpenTuition notes and videos and Acowtancy notes ,after the month lapsed I started tackling the Section A and B questions from the BPP revision kit (I completed it in two weeks and them redo it in a week were my biggest concern was now time management) it was a success because by the exam date I could solve the Section A and B questions in 75-80 minutes combined ,which would leave me with 100 minutes to attempt the two Section C questions instead of the allotted 36 minutes each .It meant that I had 24 minutes extra to do each of the Section C questions. So for the Section C revision, I started to attempt only Section C questions after I was done with the two other sets of questions and the greatest observation I made was how learn to express myself in a professional manner with the data that's beforehand in an particular question. The final two weeks were only just about getting the exam feeling and attempting the practice tests.

failed with 49% really dont know what made me to fail to make that 1%

First attempt and failed. I guess even after bringing to their attention that I was not permitted to use the onscreen calculator by the invigilator, was not enough. They did not even contact me about it.

To the people who have asked for advice on how to pass this exam, I did English at university so I definitely don't have a "numbers brain." My advice to pass this exam is as follows: start early. This syllabus isn't as long as some others, but the content can often be quite tricky, like CVP analysis and learning curves. The amount of time you spend going over it will improve your understanding. I don't think I understood some topics until I'd gone over them two or three times. Question practice is so important for every exam, but particularly this one. Section C can be really time pressured in the exam so it's best if you can go into it with an understanding of how to approach the questions to get maximum marks. BPP or Kaplan workbooks will have lots of questions. I studied with BPP but also made use of free resources like the wonderful OpenTuition. If I hadn't done as many questions and mocks, I don't think I would have passed. Application is trickier in this exam than most of the others I've taken. Finally - use different resources! I had BPP online classes to teach me the main course, but found OpenTuition's videos so useful as they broke down the topics into relevant sections. I made notes for myself and went over videos whenever I didn't understand. There are also technical articles and YouTube videos on the ACCA website.

John Moffat&OpenTuition, thank you for your great work! I passed PM, first attempt! so happy!

Passed with 50

2nd attempt...failed....40%. Wondering where the other 10% went hiding.

@ ABDULLAHI312 I'm not sure it's a good idea to combine PM wit Tax... Personally, I feel it's alot of info to handle and might mess things up.. You might want to combine either wit FR.... Think about it but then, good luck with your next attempt, that's the spirit!

Thank you, Mrs John. I will definitely donate, as the materials and videos where very useful. Passed PM from first attempt.

Does anyone know how high you need score in order to win a cash prize? ACCA just says 'highest scores' which is a little ambiguous to me. I can't find the scores of previous winners to see what they have been in the past either.

Really disappointed with my result, a fail of 49% the most painful one these people are heartless. I guess we have to be prepared again for the future exams untill we pass. I gave it my all, however section C was not an easy one but gave it all i have also keeping in mind own figure marking. All the best to the candidates for future retakes.

hey congrats..how did u study for PM?

I got 48 percent. My computer failed twice during the exam. I have been in touch with the Acca abs they have not taken any of this into consideration. At one point they were unsure if my exam uploaded to the Acca. ACCA have more or less informed me it is my problem. Has anyone any advice on how to make a formal complaint.

A huge thank you to John for providing wonderful lectures. Passed PM 53 Marks.
