ACCA SEPTEMBER 2022 EXAM RESULTS
LW 86%; TX 52%; FR 50%; PM 40%; FM 51%; AA 44%; SBL 49%; SBR 51%; AAA 34%; AFM 42%; APM 34%; ATX 43%.
A total of 86,630 students entered the September 2022 sitting, and some 99,192 exams were completed!
These were the first set of exam results with professional marks given for optional exams (ATX will change from June next year). It was hoped that this would mean a jump in the pass rates. There were very slight increases across these papers, when compared to the June sitting, but two-thirds of sitters are still failing AAA and APM.
There is a hope that eventually the optional pass rates will look more like those achieved at SBL and SBR.
Talking about the Professional Skills changes, Alan Hatfield, executive director – content, quality and innovation, said: “This is an important change in ensuring that our students are work ready and have the strong skills, abilities and competencies required for the future accountant. It’s also pleasing to see some students demonstrate their technical mastery of their chosen specialisms, alongside the professional skills they need to be a successful finance professional in the workplace. We continue to encourage students to make full use of our learning resources to support their studies towards these examinations.”
He reminded students that pass rates remain up to 20% better for those students who use the ACCA exam Practice Platform.
At the Applied level the pass rate for AA stood out – at 44% it hasn’t been higher since June 2016!
Those sitting the Applied Skills exams will be able to avail themselves of the new tailored feedback service on their performance – ‘My Exam Performance’. ACCA is developing feedback for Professional students and dates for this service will be published shortly.
