AAT assessments – the latest pass rates

The latest AAT pass rates are out and they are looking much better…in most cases.

The IBLW Foundation paper jumped 4% on the annual pass rate six months ago, to 58%, and AVBK was up to 67.4%.

At the Professional level pass rates for BSTX (74.9%), ETAU (63.1%), and FSLC (59.4%) all saw healthy rises in the pass rates on those published in June last year.

One paper that hasn’t seen a rise is the Advanced Diploma Synoptic Assessment which slipped to 57.8% this time around. It was 61.6% last time around.

The pass rate for PLTX also slipped back to 62.9%.

The assessment with the lost pass rate remains MDCL. There was a slight rise to 53.9%, but this exam remains the one to pass!

Overall, pass rates are looking better, in general too, with the Professional CBA pass rate now standing at 62.8%, and Advanced level at 72.9%.

Getting a distinction is still pretty tough. For the Professional Diploma in Accounting its still 2%, with the number of merits awarded at this level falling from 45% to 44%.

That said some 50% of sitters at the Foundation Certificate in Accounting received a distinction, as they started their AAT journey.
