ACCA sitters described the December SBL exam as ‘awful’, ‘very tricky, and ‘horrible’!
And, according to the ACCA Open Tuition Instant Poll it stood out as the hardest paper this time around, by a long way!
Another paper in the hard camp was ATX. Quite a few sitters said it was the hardest paper they had ever sat! Time management was a big problem, and many sitters admitted they struggled to answer the last question.
PM was also described as ‘brutal’ by some sitters. Other found it ‘hard but fair’.
In stark contrast SBR was the most ‘liked’ paper this time around. Some 65% of voters in the Open Tuition Instant Poll ticked the ‘OK’ box, and another 5% said it was ‘easy’.
Nigh on half (49%) of TX sitters thought the exam was ‘OK’, and for AAA sitters the exam was also deemed ‘OK’ by 43% of voters in the instant poll, which is pretty high for that paper too!
Sitters will have to wait a little longer for results this time around – they will hit inboxes on Friday 17 January 2025>
