Ask the Tutor ACCA PM

RESIT OR MOVE TO NEXT PAPAER

LLeslie3y ago
Hi I have sat PM twice and failed scoring below 30%. I have covered the entire syllabus, watched the lectures over again and also practised. Should I resit for March or Move on to something else?

I would resit in March while you will still remember some of the topics. When you say that you have practice, how did you practice? You should use a current edition of the Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers and attempt all of the questions (without looking at the answer until you have attempted the question yourself). If you are not clear about anything in any of the answers then ask in this forum and I will explain :-)

Thank you Sir. I did buy BPP exam kit which I did practised the 90% of the entire kit. I also attempted online question on the ACCA platform and also did the Exam mock via ACCA platform. Should I focus on practising more questions or re read the syllabus again then practice or focus on area where I lacked knowledge?

Because you mark was actually very low, I think that it will be worthwhile watching all the lectures again. Then practice all the questions in your Revision Kit (especially the mock exams in the Kit, under time pressure) and really make sure that you really do understand whenever you have got an answer wrong (and ask in this forum when necessary).

Unfortunately Failed again Sir below 30% again for June sitting. I honestly do not know what to do at this stage. I will revisit the lectures again and give it another go. At the moment I am lost for words as I did put in so much work. Juggling full time job and a family. I am speechless honestly

Don’t be too down hearted. Think of what you are trying to achieve. A pass in PM. You first need to understand why you have failed. Try to think and understand -is it exam technique and/ or you don’t have sufficient knowledge. Which I think by your score is the main reason. Start with reviewing the last few examiner reports which are available on the ACCA website. Then work through each section and videos in order. Identifying areas that you lack knowledge and understanding is key.

Hi Sir, what advise will you give me. .Should I attempt in September or go through the lectures again and try for December? At the moment I am lost for words as I don't know where to start.

It’s up to you. My advice is to make sure you are ready next time. Identify if you need just over a month or a few months to be ready. Only you know that for sure.
