Check your grammar!
I think its very surprising that you've even got to the level you have if your posting is indicative of the grammar you use in your exam answers!

If yours and ML's grammar is typical of the average ACCA student's skills, then until you can string a proper sentence together you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the finalist stage!

God knows what the profession is coming to - its not all about numbers you know, employers value the ability to communicate effectively too!

Don't bother
I took an administrative review after failing an exam in the summer, on the basis that it was only £50 and I had nothing to lose.

I thought I would get some kind of feedback but it doesn't tell you anything and there is absolutely no chance of them changing your mark.

Out of interest which subject was it?

I got 43 at P3 Business Analysis
I feel the same also whether is it worthy to have adm review. Out of 3 paper on Dec 2007, my P3 fail.. So it became my last paper need to clear.

Right or wrong on my exam paper also don't know. Because it was so long-long strategies writing. But I feel that 100 mark should be have 50 mark at least.

I feel that is true if my result is around 48 and 49, I should that the review.

How about your suggestion ????

45 is a long way from a pass....
I agree. While there is the review service I would not recommend you use it unless you scored 47 or 48 and are strongly confident. 45 is actually 10% off the pass mark.

You don't state which level of exams, or whether you scored above say 60 marks in other papers which would indicate good exam technique.

I was advised that there was a gulf between 49 and 50, in that a marker will look closely at a mark of 49 in order to decide whether a candidate should be a pass or a fail. If they failed you they probably did it with good reason.

We've all been there, just get back on your horse and ride it over the line next time!

Don't Give Up!
The ACCA exams are very demanding.

A recent United Nations survey of financial education concluded that they were the most demanding accountancy exams in the world.

Just focus on the future and make sure you pass next time.

In the end you will succeed!
