AAT has now released the CBA pass rates for the year ending 30 June 2025.
The stats show the global pass rates for Levels 2, 3 and 4 are all up on a year ago. In fact, the Level 4 pass rates at 70.3% are higher than the Level 3 pass rates (68.6%)!
The four UK assessments with the lowest pass rates are FAPS (63%), AMAC (63.7%), MATS (65.3%), and PNTA (68.6%).
And, there is still a disparity between UK and the Rest of the World (RoW) pass rates. That means while students in the UK sitting CRDM achieved a pass rate of 71.7%, just 38.2% of those sitting from the RoW managed to pass.
Obtaining a distinction in the Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting is still tough too. Just 3% of candidates received one, with 47% awarded a merit and 50% a pass. It is slightly easier to achieve a distinction for the Level 3 Diploma in Accounting – with some 14% of AATs achieving the required standard!
Check out all the pass rates for assessment sat between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025 in the latest magazine: https://issuu.com/pqpublishing/docs/pq_magazine_november_2025.
