ACCA’s – examiner’s say…

11 May 2010

ACCA students must answer all the required questions if they want to pass this June – simples!

Candidates cannot expect to pass if they don’t have knowledge of the whole syllabus. This is the harsh analysis of the people in the know - the examiners.
F7 examiner Steve Scott revealed that too many December candidates answered only four out of the five compulsory questions set. There were also a significant minority of scripts with answers to only three of the questions. P3 examiner Steve Skidmore felt too many December sitters only answered two of his questions; the compulsory Q1 and the optional Q2. Skidmore suggested that this meant many students were unfamiliar with quality and project management, which are significant parts of the P3 syllabus.
However, P2 candidates seem to be bucking this trend, and the examiner Graham Holt noted that there was less evidence of candidates only answering two rather than three questions required.
