Remind me – how were those March ACCA exams again?

The AAA and APM exams stood out as the ‘difficult ones’ for March 2024 sitters. Both papers had 34% pass rates in December and students are not expecting anything better this time around.

The AAA exam was described as “meaty and hard”, with many students admitting they panicked when they read Q1. Some PQs said that is why they answered Q3 and Q4 first, hoping to give themselves more of a chance of passing!

Some 29% of sitters in the Open Tuition Instant Poll said the AAA exam was a disaster for them, with another 44% saying the exam was hard. That’s almost a record, but not in a good way!

APM sitters described their exam as ‘horrible’ and ‘really hard’.

But it all wasn’t doom and gloom. Over 60% of those sitting the March SBL exam thought it was OK, in the Open Tuition exit poll, And, 54% of sitters were OK with the AA exam.
