The ACCA March pass rates are here. In all some 90,707 students took 102,076 exams! In all 3,877 students completed their final exams to become ACCA affiliates.
Despite the outcries after the tax exams, the pass rates were the highest of both the Applied Skills and Strategic papers! One TX sitter described their exam as ‘just crazy’ and another said it was ‘brutal’. At 52% TX is slightly down on passed sitting, but not by much.
Meanwhile ATX is the highest it has ever been, at 52%. It is the first time it has broken the 50% barrier, and is way off the all-time low pass rate of 28%, achieved by December 2007 sitters.
The really brutal pass rates were the usual culprits – AA and PM at the Applied Skills level, and AAA and APM at Strategic.
For March PM hoovered around the usual low 40% – it was 42% this time around. At 47% the March AA sitting is a bit higher than normal!
ACCA should be concerned that AAA and APM pass rates seem stuck below 40. That said they have been higher for the last four sittings now, and above the 33% APM and 38% AAA sitters managed in March 2024.
ACCA MARCH 2025 PASS RATES: TX 55%; FR 49%; PM 42%; FM 50%; AA 47%; SBL 53%; SBR 50%; AAA 39%; AFM 45%; APM 39%; ATX 52%
