These AAT results cover the whole of 2024, and while there are several early assessments with pass rates more than 80% (BUSK, BKFN and ITBK), most pass rate fall between the low 60 percents and high 70percents.
The highest pass rate at Level 3 and 4 was achieved in BNTA at 78% (once you exclude the old AUDT paper).
And, the overall CBA pass rate for Level 3 is 66.9% and for Level 4 it is 67.5%.
Looking at the Rest of the World pass rates, the AAT will need to put more resources in helping students pass the Level 4 CRDM assessment. While the UK pass rate for this paper is 67.9%, the rest of the World pass rate is just 35.7%. That means nearly two out of three students who have got through three levels are still failing this exam. Rest of the World students are also struggling with the Audit and Assurance exam – just 37% pass this one too!
