Frequently Asked Questions
Why do students opt for F5 as their last ACCA paper?
  • Before starting their skills level, students have misconceptions that F5 is a little difficult as compared to other skilled level exams. That’s why they prefer to commence their journey with an easier paper with a high passing ratio. Scoring good marks in the initial paper boosts the confidence of students before giving them an F5.
  •      • Ensure that your calculating methods are connected to the management tool.
  •      • Ensure that the information in the question incorporates your knowledge.
  •      • It takes revision to pass the ACCA F5 test.
  • Lately, the passing ratio has been around 40% for the performance management ACCA paper.
