    Hello there!
    I have 2 exams left to take – SBL and a choice of audit tax or PM.

    I have just passed SBR.

    I am leaning towards audit as I enjoyed it more at skills level to tax and PM, and also got the highest grade in audit.

    However, I am put off by the pass marks of AAA it is really really low.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

    In terms of pass rates, there’s little to choose between AAA and APM https://www.accaglobal.com/ie/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/pass-rates-professional-exams.html

    First time success in AAA needs a firm foundation in AA (tick!) and assumed knowledge of SBR (tick!) – so you should be able to work through our notes quickly https://opentuition.com/acca/aaa and then get cracking on question practice. There are a lot of invaluable resources which I have sticky posted at the top of the AAA forum https://opentuition.com/forum/acca-forums/aaa-advanced-audit-and-assurance-forums – if only students would use them (all) the pass rates would be considerably improved(!)

    I look forward to welcoming you to my AAA forum https://opentuition.com/forum/ask-acca-tutor-forums/ask-the-tutor-acca-advanced-audit-and-assurance-aaa-exams
