The latest ICAEW Professional exam result reveal the big differences in the pass rates of those sitting in Europe versus the rest of the world.
For example, while the pass rate for the Business Strategic & Technology paper this June was 90.6% in Europe, it was just 32.3% for the 99 students sitting elsewhere.
The difference was also over 30 percentage points in Tax Compliance (78.4% v 44.3%).
However, in most of the other papers the rest of the world pass rate is around 20 percentage points lower. It should be noted that while the numbers are statically small, they still represent real people trying to gain their ACA.
Most sitters opted to sit two exams this session, with 74.4% passing both papers. Another 566 sitters passed one of the two they sat, and 307 (8.9%) failed both.
Some 1,200 students sat three papers in June, and 75.7% passed all three. Just 42 students failed all three.
It is a different story for those opting to sit just one paper – with 73.2% passing, but 769 (26.8%) failing.
