Why is the ACCA AAA (P7) pass rate so low?
This is what the examiner says..
-
Writing out or simply restating facts from the question with little or no development,
-
Not answering the question as set,
-
Quoting accounting standards without applying them,
-
Using vague phrases like “perform analytical procedures”, “check the relevant documentation”, “in accordance with the relevant standard” which do not earn marks unless the point is developed further,
-
Poor presentation and layout with a lack of clarity to the explanations provided, and
-
Obvious lack of accounting knowledge; an error cannot simultaneously overstate assets and understate profits for example
So take it on board, and leave those errors to others while you pass with flying colours
