hi there
any body knows what is the highest score somebody got in P7, and where to find them
thanks

passed with 52 and are now affiliates, Allah ka shukar

unfortunately I failed for the 2nd time (47%)
the first sitting I got (48%)

I am devastated!!

For all those passed would you kindly please advise of some tips to pass this paper? an inout is much appreciated. I think my technical knowledge is good but maybe I am not writing enough points?

Which college do you reccomend taking into consideration that I am in full time employment. I have already been with BPP.

I will also be sitting my P3 paper (Business analysis), for those who sat it, is it a tough paper. From what I read it appears to be less technical than P7?

Look forward to your comments

sound knowledge of auditing concepts is essential if u want to excel but what is even more important is your application and analytical skills which can only be gained through detailed past paper practice nd this should be started early in ur studies

I feel my full script was not mark..impossible to get 37 marks…last sitting Dec i left out 15 marks questin and got 45 this time i did everything….an felt confident..even after seening the answers….i feel ACCA need to give results with total marks to each question attempts..nottin hard..just have the programmer do it on system..i beleive all my question was not mark…37..nah thats dead wrong…

This is my third fail in this paper. Any hints on how to pass this paper please before I quit??? A very well done to all those who passed.

dear Anil,

i feel the same i got only 35. i also feel my whole answer book was not marked!!! i was confident on the questions and i wrote 18 pages!!!! they charge you if you need to get it remarked. and to be honest. i dont think they will tell you that yes they made mistake and they have uneducated people marking it because this will defame their image. According to their policy they have no right to show you the script.!!!!!!! the way i see it they just have to fail students to keep the balance. what a bloody scam!!! can’t u see there is a correlation to pass rate to each exam paper EVERYTIME round about to same average. What a lovely co-indicence EVERYTIME. seriously. they just want you to fail so that they can keep fees coming……………..my paper was well answered¬!!!!!!

Same here, got 47 but was very confident coming out of the exam. wasn’t as confident for P6 and I passed that with 62!!

As soon as I saw the results I downloaded the paper, answers and marking scheme. I went through and marked it conservatively, if in doubt about what I wrote I didn’t give the mark. My total came to 57!!

Answered 5 booklets, about 40 pages all together, time management was spot on and I completed the paper, made me think the only possibility is that one of the additional booklets hasn’t been marked (they’re only about 5 pages so would equate to about 10 marks possibly!) I rushed to complete my details on the last booklet and the supervisor wouldn’t let me finish, she said it would be fine if they’re all fastened together!!?

I’m going to submit an admin review form to see what happens. It’s only £50 so cheaper than a resit and it would save 6 months of messing around as this is my final exam. Having read the website though, they don’t re-mark your script, just check procedures have been followed, hence, I don’t know if this would pick up an error like this!

Wow- I only used one booklet and got 50%- our lecturer told us not to write too much as this would annoy the marker!

Our lecturers just said “leave plenty of white space” i.e. don’t cram everything together. They’ve said this for all the other theory papers too and it’s how I’ve always gone about the exams with no problems.

The 40 pages wouldn’t therefore be crammed with writing, it’d just be spaced out so it’s easy to read. e.g. Every point for a question would have a:

Heading

Then your comment as laid out here,

Heading 2

Comment 2… and so on

Each question/ sub question started on a new page as instructed also. The pages soon mount up. The actual word count between a 20 page script and a 40 page script wouldn’t necessarily be very different depending on layout.

If you consider that the model answer is written using about a size 8 font and is about 9 pages long then that’s probably about 6000 – 7000 words. Using ‘average’ size hand writing and spacing things out that’s a whole lot of pages!!

Slightly off topic; I think going down the on screen marking route is asking for trouble anyway, it’s been reported that it caused countless problems when schools first introduced it for marking A Levels.

You had kids getting D grades when an A was predicted and so on so they looked into these cases. It turned out that a lot of them should indeed have been given an A but didn’t shade the front sheet in clearly enough etc. As a result the scanner wouldn’t detect some pages of their scripts and the marker would be none the wiser.

I don’t know what procedures ACCA have in place to detect any such errors!? I know they must have tested the system thoroughly before implementing it but it seems harsh that some candidates could fail a paper on a technicaality like this, with no available avenue of appeal/ re-marking.

The transparency of the marking and appeals procedure needs to be addressed but I guess this could question their credibility and wouldn’t be feasible for so many candidates!

got 67. 🙁 i knew id get a low score coz i thought the paper was easy. Whenever i think a paper is hard, i end up with great scores. Strange. There goes my average.

As for the secret to passing…aim for more than 50. If u aim for 50, ur gonna end up with 30. All i did was study the FTC book and go through the revision kit briefly, paying particular attention to the clarity project summary. Know your ISAs well. Rest is common sense. I only wrote one booklet, had about 10mins to spare after i finished writing the answers. I have absolutely zero auditing practical experience and i dont work in accounting nor consider myself an accountant. So everything i got was straight from the textbooks/revision kits.
Oh and of course, u need to be spot on with IFRS/IAS.
