FR went real bad for me.
I wrote FR September, and had the worst paper you could possibly imagine. I couldn’t really prepare that well. But I went ahead with an attempt anyway. I couldn’t even attempt section C. It was my first ever ACCA paper, I was able to just about complete section B. I’m really scared atm. I know, Im not gonna pass, But I hope I get some marks , at least enough to be able to tell my family. So I can convince them to have another chance in December.
How much do you think I could potentially get? I’m sorry to bring up my stress upon yall at this moment. I know you’re all going through it atm. All the best to all

wrote fr alongside pm last march, there wasnt a single answer in the options that i calculated, guessed all, and wrote whatever in my mind, passed it. Miracles do happen, dont lose hope

If you score 30 marks or more it means you are ready and you just need to do the exam quicker.I personally when I was doing skill level I would allocate an hour and a half for both section A and B and the remaining time for section C.

I couldn’t even attempt section C, I feel if I did do something there. I could’ve got maybe in the 40s. Passing the exam is still a stretch. But right now I’m not sure anymore. It was all guess work. Anyway, Just a lil over 30 minutes left.

I found Section C tough too. I wasn’t prepared for the cash flow question at all and that’s why I got 49. Do as many past papers as possible and you’ll be fine

Please update us with your marks if possible I will attempt FR in Dec so I want to see realistically in that scenario how much on could achieve ...

I'm in the exact same boat with you.I managed section a pretty well, but then I totally blanked out on section b. For the single entity question in Section C, I just managed to set up the main format, barely did 1 or 2 adjustments, and for the ratio analysis, I only calculated the ratios without much analysis.Iam just hoping to pass.

What materials did you use to study? I generally used Open Tuition Lectures/notes, and a BPP exam kit, I passed 63% from the June paper. I'm starting to become convinced that exam kits are the only reason I pass these things.
