49 second attempt 🙁 , should I pay to recheck my paper?

I took P7, got 49, 48 and went to review, it was just waste money, then I swapped to P5 and passed this time.

41%. first ever fail in ACCA. Got 75% in P3 though…:D. Don’t know what to say really. At least I get to know how it feels to fail and makes me better understand others feelings when they fail.

58% on second attempt! Over the moon! first time did not pass because for being so nervous, I missed a page of financial data relevant to the Q (realised only when I turned the page to attempt the following Q). Thank God for this and of course a huge thank to Open Tuition who give us such a good set of notes, videos, recording all free of charge! Also the forums are great to be in touch and to ask doubts. It feels like a family. Congratulations to all of you who passed and good luck for the rest! Keep practising Qs and you will pass in December!

I had 60% after attempting P5 about 4 times, I am now an affiliate and I am grateful to God for helping me and especially directing me to the opentuition website. I am amazed that these great resources are free as they contributed tremendously to my preps. Thanks to you guys for making everything so simple.

got 48%… WTF………i want to appeal…… 8th attempt !!! last paper to affiliate !!!!!! acca takes me 10 yrs already….

Don’t bother appealing. waste of money. I got 47% in Dec-12 and appealed and got nothing. Just concentrate and retake the paper. I passed this time with 57%.

Congratulations to everybody who passed Alex Watt’s tricky paper.
I managed to get 57% even though I only had time to write for 71% of the paper and am now an affiliate.

Advice for those who have to do a retake.
Firstly, don’t give up. ACCA has taken me 6 years to complete. This was my 3rd attempt at P5 and I was close to giving up even if I only had 1 exam to take. Now I am glad I carried on and finished because the feeling of achieving it is amazing.

Don’t go for an admin review, its a waste of money. They don’t remark your paper, they just make sure that all of their procedures have been used properly and that all of your marks have been added up correctly.

IF you plan to take P5 again, learn the models so that you can remember them but the real marks are in how you use the models e.g. Building blocks, BCG Matrix. Doing a lot of practice questions was the key to me passing this time.

Wish you all good luck in future exams and future careers.

Passed with 60%, now an affiliate. It’s taken 4 years but it’s finally over!
