The latest AAT pass rates show the Advanced and Professional Diploma Synoptic assessments now have the lowest pass rates, at 54.6% and 59.8% respectively.
However, the newly complied worldwide pass rates show a slight improvement in the Introduction to Business and Company Law pass rate. It was 57.8% last time out, but has risen to 61.9% this time around. FSLC also jumped from 65% to 67.9%.
One professional assessment that still seems to be a particularly big challenge for sitters is Management Accounting: Decision and Control, where the pass rate was 62.8%. Both examiners and tutors will also have to keep an eye on External Auditing – the pass rate here has dropped from 72.5% to 68.6%.
Despite the ups and downs of individual assessment pass rates the overall CBA rates remain the same. The Professional pass rate is 68.4%, at Advanced it is 74.9%, and for Foundation the rates are 84.6%.
When it comes to distinctions, these are still hard to get for those completing the Professional Diploma in Accounting. Just 3% of PQs who passed the diploma were also awarded a distinction.
