Take heart, happened to me in P2… first attempt i read for only 2months to the paper and got 46… 2nd attempt after hard work i got 36… but i passed 3rd sitting so be strong

I had a marginal fail. But, be strong.

Was very shocked to have passed on my first attempt! 64.
Only 4 left to go now.

passed with 72

I’m gutted, failed again with 40. I was fairly confident that i had passed. I studied hard for months, I structured all my answers, I managed my time very welll and didn’t leave any answers. The first time I didn’t prepare well, I ran out of time and missed out a few questions and got 46. Just don’t understand!!! I’m thinking about appealing and sounds like I’m not the only one.

Oh my God! I passed first attempt with 67

I failed P1 and I’ve got a question, I have both the study text and revision kit for exams in 2011, do you think I can use them for June 2011 or do I have to buy for 2013? I thought they were all th same basically.

got 66% in first attempt i like this paper 🙂

Just about passed – Thanks Opentuition!

Good luck to all.

i got 66 % passed in first attempt so im happy with this 🙂

I didnt make it even though the mark is not too bad. It wasnt a difficult paper after all but i didnt do well enough to get a good mark. Working and studying is really bit hectic, articles demands more time than my studies. I was lacking exam technique not the knowledge part of the exam as i noticed that this subject (all professional levels) test most on application level not knowledge(copy and paste) . I never had time to do more than two past exam papers (didnt make more time) but this year i am really gonna distinct (nailed) this paper. This is my first exam fail. I need help on exam techniques. I also love to hear advices from those who made it. Please suggest your advices- all participants you are welcome.
My advice to those who didnt make it : Dont quit but keep on and keep on. You must face the challenge because there is no big things/rewards just come with no price attached. God is with you for he promised in his word that He will never leave you nor foresake you. All you need to do is to shift your mindset and see yourself passing . I really believe that its not God’s will for you to fail but the choice (intetional and un intetional) we make . My choice is that i am completing my exams this year and by the end of next year June i will be a qualified CA. I choose not to be a failure but a winner . A failure is somebody who quits and gave up on himself/herself . If you know that your reedemer lives then why are you quiting.
You better stop complaining and start preparing for the exam not waiting for the last minute.

Passed with 78%.
Re study technique, whilst I agree that it is essential to do past papers, for essay exams YOU DON’T HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO WRITE THEM ALL OUT. It is enough to practise writing out 2-3 exams (unless you know that you have specific issues with this. Otherwise, it is far more time efficient to simply read the questions and answers from the study books, underlining/highlighting key phrases. You can go through 3-4 exams in the time it takes to write out one practise paper.

Also advise flash cards and note taking. Check out the Kaplan free advice centre. Make your paper as clear as possible for examiner to see the mark and award it.

Just got 56… really happy

Got 50 though I expected I failed. I’m more than happy 😀

Lucky to pass at 50%. Thought I can get above 60%, coz most of what I read came out. Does the examiner really read the answer script??
