Top tutors believe UK accountancy pass rates could shoot up in June, and they are putting it all down to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Students sitting exams in the week beginning 6 June – and we are talking ACCA, ICAEW, CIPFA, and AAT PQs here – had two extra days to practice questions and get themselves exam ready.
As one tutor told us: “If students weren’t too distracted with the celebrations and nice weather, they had four straight days to get up to exam speed. You may have missed Her Majesty sharing a jam sandwich with Paddington Bear, but those extra days of study will really have helped.”
As a leading provider recently said, 10% of ACCA exam students fail by less than 3 marks. The extra days will mean they could watch the Examiner report debriefs and practice even more exam questions. And, gaining those three marks could be more achievable!
