How was day one of the ACCA exams? Here’s what some of the sitters thought:
AA
Students were in general agreement that Monday’s AA exam was ‘OK’. Some 69% pressed the OK button on the Open Tuition Instant Poll this time around.
Just 7.6% felt the September exam was a disaster for them – that’s low!
One sitter said: “It wasn’t an easy paper and I did not manage to finish the whole paper.” Another felt that while section A was a disaster, section B was much better.
AAA
One in five (19%) sitters told the Open Tuition Instant Poll that this sitting was a disaster for them. Another 33% found it hard. As one sitter said; “It was a bloody horrible exam.”
Time was an enemy too, and a student admitted they just wrote bullet points for some of their answers at the end.
We also heard there were some technical issues for those sitting in Manchester in the morning.
One sitter also admitted they struggled to identify the ethical threats when writing about sustainability reporting. Many fellow PQs agreed.
The problem with AAA is even when people think they have done well they look at the pass rates and become worried anyway!
