Some how I passed , I’m so grateful,all I can say is that I worked really really hard and it paid off. I’m fully qualified now. What a journey 🙂
I failed my third attempt but, I know if I improve my technique, I will also pass someday. Congratulations to everyone who made it, you are all an inspiration.
Thank you, OpenTuition, for supporting me throughout my ACCA journey. My final exam in March was AFM, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without your support. I paid for tuition elsewhere, but it didn’t help me pass. In the end, I came back to OpenTuition, and that made all the difference. I’m now a fully qualified accountant, and I’m so grateful for all your support.
Passed with 61%!
I am so grateful as I failed AFM twice in a row and was really discouraged as this was the last exam I needed to complete.
I can now apply for the ACCA membership to be a fully qualified accountant!
Thank you OpenTuition for the helpful YouTube videos and forums.
As someone who failed AFM twice in a row and has now passed this sitting and is all done with exams now, do stay positive, you will pass on your next attempt!
Prioritise Hedging and Investment appraisal (NPV, APV, IRR, MIRR, Standard deviation) as it will always come up.
OpenTuition forums, Andrew Mower YouTube videos and ACCA practice questions/exam will be your best friend as you already know the study material. Also, always do the ACCA pre-Mock and debrief as it usually hints what will be in the exam.
This March exam had hedging as the 50 mark question and I knew not all my calculations were correct but continued and did own figure rules and analysed based on the results I got to gain maximum marks.
I did not completed the 3rd question which was valuation but because I practiced hedging and Investment appraisal I gained as much marks by just moving on and making figures up where I was stuck to complete the report Q1. I wish someone told me about own figure rules earlier in ACCA exam journey!
Good luck and keep pushing!
First attempt at AFM, pass 64%. Thanks Open Tuition!
Last exam hopefully in June, ATX. Have abandoned APM after failing it three times, too much blabbing and not enough numbers for my skillset.
It was my 4th attempt, the last two being marginal fails (47% and 49%) which was super frustrating and tbh I don’t think I even revised as much this time as I was quite upset during my revision? but I finally passed with 54%? To those who didn’t, don’t give up! Even though a fail feels very discouraging, especially if it’s not your first, it is still experience and you will get better at tackling questions. Maybe change your approach or be more strict with timing when doing questions, but keep going, you will clear a pass! Opentuition was great help as always, thanks a bunch to Mr. Moffat and the team for providing us with this wonderful free portal! I also watched Andrew Mower’s youtube videos, his video on interest swaps makes it so simple, and I ended up getting Acowtancy revision course for the first time, which was helpful with some topics but with some was more confusing as it was a different approach to what I was used to. I also believe it’s vital to actually understand what examiner is asking of you, so I made sure I read requirements first a couple of times before reading through scenarios. Doing debrief mock under timed conditions was also of great help. I think I only did debrief and skipped mocks as exam practice for March resit. Congratulations to everyone who passed, especially if it was your last exam, good luck to those who are planning to do a resit, you’ve got this! Three exams to go now?
Don’t give up! I just passed AFM on my 4th attempt. Aim to have done all the questions in the BPP practice book 3-4 times with particular attention to the nasties like interest rate futures, swaps and interest rate collars, get your timing down and then focus on the showing scepticism for the professional marks. Use AI tools like Gemini to give you the check list of things you have to question to show scepticisim e.g. assumptions there’ll be no change in interest rates, tax rates, discount rates, a perpetuity amount or growth rate, volatility, etc. If you get the 20 marks for laying out your report properly and questioning any stated assumptions or forecasts, you improve your chances greatly. Answer that they should do sensitivity analysis to determine how changing each variable affects the NPV outcome. Google Gemini correctly predicted interest rate swaps and collars on interest rate options for the hedging question in the March 2026 exam but then she was way off for the investment appraisal so assume you have to study everything. It seems to be less a theory test though and more a techique/big picture understanding test in the exam. Don’t spend too much time on theory and don’t believe everything put up on the examiners articles is going to come up.
