ACCA March exam feedback

The ACCA March exams have finished, so where were the ‘problem’ papers this time around?

Well, it appears no-one liked sitting the tax papers! One in four of those sitting the TX and ATX exams this time around said they had a ‘disaster’, according to the Open Tuition Instant Poll.

One TX sitter described their exam as ‘Just crazy’. another said it was ‘brutal’.

For ATX sitters the exam was “quite hard” and “shocking”, all at the same time. What really concerned sitter was the unusual nature of the exam.

A leading tutor told PQ magazine that while the ACCA does not release papers anymore it is almost impossible to work out just how hard papers really are. “I really do think it is time the ACCA released the full papers again,” he ventured.

The other papers that student admitted they struggled in were AFM and SBR.

At the other end of the scale there were mixed emotions from those sitting the SBL exam, but with an ‘OK’ arrival rate of 63% in the Open Tuition Instant Poll, most sitters thought the exam was “alright”! One sitter even said: “I thought is was quite a good paper.”

AA was deemed another ‘easier’ paper this time around.

Check out the new PQ magazine, out on Friday, for all the feedback.
