General ACCAYour easiest / hardest paper so far!!

Ccaribean14y ago
Brought about by an earlier comment, I would be interested to see what have been your easiest / hardest papers so far??

For me the easiest was F4, I managed to pass this after two days study (not recommended!)... F7 was the hardest by far!

ACCA Pass rate would conclude this question: https://www.accaglobal.com/sg/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/pass-rates-professional-exams.html So it's obviously P5 for the past 3/4 years perhaps due to the examiner :)

In terms of studying a subject: F6 - hardest P3/P5 - easiest In terms of exam itself (which is even more subjective because it depends what you get on the day of exam) F6 (POL variant) - hardest (I had no idea what I was doing) - but thankfully passed 1st attempt 50marks. From time perspective I would like to write P5 twice than re-sit F6 exam F9/P1 - easiest (because when I opened questions I felt good) although they weren't my highest pass marks. P5 was the easiest and the hardest exam I sat in the same time! It sounds cranky but this is how I feel about it

I now think this: Hardest: F4 That was when it was a proper exam and not this multiple choice none sense! Most boring to study: P3 very dull and not that relevant to real life even though it claims to be 2nd hardest: p4. Did that yesterday and while I enjoyed revising for it because of the content matter, the range of questions that could be asked is massive and over whelming. I did p3 and p4 this week. If all goes well I'll be an affiliate in April :-)

F6 is the hardest of the Fs and P2 ties with P4

F5 was a nightmare! So was P7 ! Easiest would be F4 hands down!

Easiest F4 and F6, hardest F8, not because I found it difficult but just excruciatingly boring. I hate Audit...

Personally: P2 was tough for me, likely the most difficult of the lot. P1 and P3 were rather easy - I enjoyed P3. P5 I did not enjoy the study content, even though I passed first attempt it was a chore. P7 was easy for me, however my 3 years "Articles" was performed in auditing - This one I barely needed to study for.

P4 is the hardest by far

I found F4 the easiest, now it's a CBE. I found F7 the hardest. I have sat it three times and failed each time. It will now be the last F paper I attempt.

Easiest F9, hardest F8 Surprisingly both from F-level modules.

Having only taken 3 papers, F4,6 and P1, I find F6 hardest unless you're well prepared in the tax laws of your variant especially the corporate taxes which has a connection with the individual taxes. P1 you need to read pyp to understand how they approach the questions and a basic read on some of the ethical theories, the rest are basically internal controls and risks which are basically on the spot and it's according to the case study, so just pick out all the anomalies and give a reasonable resolution to it. As for F4, I prepared entirely by studying KAPLAN notes from my friend, and I can say as long as you nail the MCQ, it's hard to fail.

I became an affiliate two days ago, having chosen P4 and P6 optimal papers. I found F9 the easiest, probably on account that all the questions I was hoping for came up. I finished 15 minutes early and got my highest mark. I found P2 the hardest. It's the only exam I failed twice.

P5 was the toughest for me.
