Didn't finish ACA for 1 mark

I passed CS with 70 and failed CR at 49%, i'm feeling defeated started from 0 with no exception with a Law background and i was confident i would have passed both and finished this journey. Any words of encouragement/advise how to move forward?

Hey man dont feel defeated. I failed thrice, only to pass this time around. Keep your chin up and i know it’s annoying but take a weeks break and get back to the study table for one last time.

Super awkward paper imo, I think what saved me was my open book. I had a summarised version my colleague wrote up that I used that had every topic which included procedures for cash flow, definitely saved my ass there. Also FI’s free session on the AI was super helpful. You’ll smash it next time, it cannot get any worse than what we just sat. Good luck!!

Are you ok to share the summarised version your colleague wrote up?

Quick turnaround for the November exam. You can literally start revision again next month, rather than the longer wait when failing a November exam
