ACCA - highest marks

franciscanpunk

Is there is a listing of the highest marks by country or exam published by the ACCA?

Did well an exam and although wont be quiet on any awards listings would be nice to be able show my emoloyer i was within relatively small distance from irelands top performers. make a change from the usual passing by a percent or 2 (although 52% or 100% do the same job)

Took me 3 seconds for internet search. As a future accountant, you need to have a skill to find a basic information yourself. Try, maybe you'll like: "acca pass rates".

Pass rates do not equate to highest marks, though they can demonstrate you are in the top 30-80% ish depending on the exam. Not a very small margin if you are trying to demonstrate to a critical employer that, for example, 60 something is a very good score.

There was one year ACCA revealed the 1st in World % for each paper and the majority were ~90%, with a couple lower. Top global affiliates used to average mid to high 70 in Ps. Generally I think ACCA do not publish the prizerwinners actual marks. The Ireland only top three will be lower, (but could include world placings). Personally the lowest top three in Ireland I came across was 69% (a tough P level paper) and it was a joint second or third placing.

thanks for that and not assuming i have some issues where i cant use google and im someone who has facebook statuses like "does anyone have the number boots on grafton street"!

defintely wouldnt be placing myself or close to it but just would be nice to say to current employer the top 3 ireland were xx%, I'm within xx% and scored within whatever percentile so them exams ye keep paying for im making a good attempt at them.

seems to just be where someone placed thats published like 1st in Ireland. 25th in yhe world as opposed the actual mark they scored.

There has always been a lack of info, and it would be nice if they did, the global pass rates offer little useful information other than identifying if a paper was possibly harder or easier than the last sitting.

I imagine country stats are seen as problematic as there are going to be notable differences between countries, not because the individuals are any better of worse accountants, but because of things like language (the exams are only available in English). I imagine they don't want to put something out there that can lead to negative comparisons, if viewed without considering context (which things always are by some, no matter how much we would like them not to be).

ACCA inform you if you place in the top 3 in Ireland. They also let you know how you placed in the worldwide table.
