Pass rates have been announced by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) for students who sat their exams in December 2023.
113,636 entered for the December sitting, which saw 132,301 exams completed.
Alan Hatfield, executive director – content, quality and innovation, said: ‘A huge congratulations to the students who have achieved success in this session, it’s always pleasing to see so many students focus on their journey towards ACCA membership as demonstrated by this robust set of results.
For all students who are ready to move to their next exam or for those who are resitting we encourage you to make full use of the fantastic resources available including My Exam Performance, our Practice Platform and our new digital platform, the ACCA Study Hub. The new ACCA Study Hub is designed to provide extra support for students and tutors, it gives exclusive access to ACCA study materials on the web and mobile. It streamlines revision, helping to increase understanding and maximise exam preparation. The Study Hub content has been proven to show an increase in student pass rates – meaning stronger exam performance and faster progress to qualification, especially when studying with an Approved Learning Provider.
In addition, we would like to congratulate 4,503 students who have now completed all their exams and will move to affiliate status.
If your next exam choice is Strategic Business Leader, read more on the exciting change to this exam which now includes pre-seen material and changes to Strategic Business Reporting question format.
As always, we encourage all students to make full use of our learning resources to support their studies towards the examinations. We also recommend that all our students use the ACCA exam Practice Platform, a free resource allowing them to practise questions and attempt mock exams with software that simulates the real exam platform. Accompanying the platform are guides to self-marking and debrief resources, to help students and tutors better understand performance. Pass rates remain up to 20% better for students who use the platform.
