Ask the Tutor ACCA SBR

What can I do different?

GGabriel11y ago
For Dec 2014 P2 exam, I prepared so much. You may have seen my posts about P2 summaries of BDO and MNP LLP (CANADA) I read those, did past papers, practiced consolidations, ethics, read examiner’s reports, read examiner’s articles but still I will probably not do well on Sunday. So do you have any suggestions on what different thing I could do or what new approach I could adopt so that I can pass P2 in June 2015? Also made extensive use of ask the tutor forum in P2 but my exam was a disaster. It worries me as to what I’ll do to pass my P2 re-sit. I have no idea! I come from a developing country in East Africa and I cannot just afford to keep paying the expensive exam and subscription fees to ACCA. Should I just rather give up P2 and my dream to become an ACCA someday as I think I may not have the intelligence to clear it even in the re-sit?

@mike sorry for the late reply. Thank you for your advice and dedication. I scored P2 with 61%.

And the lesson learnt? You can never predict how well you have performed in an ACCA exam! Just read the comments on this site: "I thought I would score 80% so I'm disappointed to get only 52%" "I knew that I'd nailed it this time so cannot understand why I only scored 23%" "YES!!! Passed it with 72% - I can't understand how I scored so much - I knew that I had failed" Don't try to predict your result - it's a thankless and futile exercise

That's right Mike. I thought I'll get 85% in P1 and ended up with a 66%. In June 2014, I though I'll get 86% in F9 and ended up with 71% So it's just best to wait.
