** P1 Exam Results December 2012 and Genius Hunt **

It’s really not worth to struggle with ACCA. So many people failed many times and they can’t understand why. The same with me. I am reading P1 answers in 5th time and I remember that I answered at least 70% in the same way as it is in answers. I did a lot of practise on it…
Why ACCA can’t provide work analysis? Ok, it could be not free service, but I want to know where I’ve been wrong! If I don’t know what I wrote wrong I’ll do it next time again. And I think it is especially in theory papers. I feel myself quite confident in P1 , I wrote all questions, used almost all answer booklet, but have got just 36.Unbelievable!

Failed at 44 percent

Passed with 58 – big relief!

I got 54 and I was shocked. I expected to pass comfortably in the lows 70’s as every question swas answered very well. This is the first ACCA paper that I have got so significantly below my expectations. I did prepare for it in 1 week, but I did the same for P3 and scored 72.I am grateful I passed though. Got my results emailed to me 10 hours after the scheduled time! Could not log in to the website till 6 hours after release and spent a virtually sleepless night. ACCA really needs to fix this issue.

Failed by 44 marks. I answered all questions, was hoping to pass with very good marks. 🙁

Passed P1 & P2 first attempt! Both on the borderline! Thx. LSBF & Open tution.

Hi
It seems you have attempted some papers an few times and still not passed. This would suggest a lack of practice and understanding. I would suggest you practice as many past questiions as possible and increase the amount of revision time.

Also do not try to cram everything in in a few days. I know some people do this and say they passed, however it is a very high risk strategy and is likely to lead to a fail. Also if you do not have much time to revise due to full time work or other commitments, i suggest taking one-exam at a time and starting revision early.

Finally, it may be beneficial for you to go to a class where a lecturer can explain to you thing you do not understand. Not everyone can pass through just using textbooks and Opentuition.

Good luck for future exams. Hard work will pay off eventually.

IF YOU HAVE REPEATEDLY FAILED YOUR EXAMS STOP ATTEMPTING MORE THAN ONE PAPER AT A TIME. I KNOW YOU WANT TO FINISH BUT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EXAMS ONE PAPER AT A TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE A LOT BETTER AND WILL BE A LOT MORE PREPARED.

All praises and thanks are due to Allah. After failing P1 twice only reading the text, I decided to now only read open tuition free notes plus past papers. Finally, I passed it with 59% thanks to opentuition and goodbye to

Hi all,

Passed P1 comfortably by using open tuition. I took P3 and did it through kaplan and failed. Even though my full
Concentration was on P3. I think its time ACCA provides your paper for reviewing so that way we know where we going wrong!!

Hi again, i think it is very important for you to practice exam question no matter which paper it is. I understand it is very boring and seems a waste of time for purely written exams like P1 & P7, however these exams are mainly about exam techniques. If you do not actually practice them, you will not be used to how the questions are answered.

I think most of the fails are due to this as most people have the knowledge but lack technique. Good luck with your future papers. I am also taking P3 in June through self-study. I only do one at a time as i am only 23 and would not gain my 3yrs relevant experience until next year. So i do one at a time to give myself the best chance possible. I would rather pass them all first attempt than 6months quicker.
