** P4 Exam Results June 2013 and Genius Hunt Competition **

50% pass now an affliate..no more exams now

50. Thank God I am now an Affiliate!!!!

At seconds past midnight I received my exam results. I decided to concentrate on Advanced Financial Management as I felt this to be such a big subject. I got 35% for this exam. However, ironically, the exam I considered postponing until December and only “crammed” for after sitting AFM (a day and a half later) – Advanced Performance Management, was a bolt out of the blue, 58% – pretty respectable pass.

I have no problem with having to do a resit in December. This will be my last exam – the light at the end of the tunnel. I am extremely please with my 35% as I knew this was a huge challenge for me – I sat Financial Management 3 times whilst moving home and going through a divorce and got 38%, 41% and 67% respectively. I have a wonderful supportive boyfriend and he backs me all the way, so am hoping to be successful in December. If the results are out on 8th Feb next year then it will be 2 days before my 50th birthday – the target I set myself a few years ago (I started studying at 44), do-able if I concentrate on writing up and getting my practicals signed off.

I am so happy about my exam results as I know I did my best. I have a good grounding with the technical stuff in this exam – just have to master the analysis which is what sets us apart as ACCA students and lets us help mould the real world.

I congratulate all who passed and have completed – a long rewarding journey, now the world is your oyster with a qualification worth owning.

I congratulate all who entered but haven’t completed as well, for those who passed – on to the next subject, for those who didn’t get enough marks – you know you can do it, look how far you have come already, and good luck for future sittings.

You can do it – only 10 marks more next time. To get 40% you must have a good grasp of the subject already -so your build up to the next exam will be pure revision. Take the advice of all the advisors
1. Practice the whole syllabus
2. Practice past question papers – under exam conditions as often as possible so you are comfortable with time constraints
3. Remember that the questions are marked accordingly for example if a question has only 3 marks make 3 valid points – don’t write 3 pages, you don’t have time
4. Look at the writing style of the current examiner – he’s been writing these papers for a few times now so you can prepare yourself for the curve balls
5. Use Open Tuition lectures – they’re free and can be a useful addition to any other study notes you have

Best of luck – I scored only 35%, so will be following my own advice for the December sitting. Whatever you do, don’t beat yourself up about your score – this is a big subject with a notorious fail rate and you have come so far already – we’re going to be posting on here in 6 months time with glowing pass marks, aren’t we??? 🙂

susanprice – i like your advice.

My adivce would be:

Learn the material off by heart – 30%
Questions practice – 70%

You can’t pass this exam knowing the study material alone. Practice questions, learn what the examiner wants, and apply in the exam… At the start of question practice, I would go through each question and answer, and learn how questions are answered. Try this… I guarentee after you have done this for 20/30 questions you will start to see how the examiner works.

I go 54. First attempt- thank Godt

44%, have to study harder for December ’13
