Pass rates have been announced by ACCA for students who sat their exams in March 2026
92,224 entered for the March sitting, which saw 103,785 exams completed. A total of 3,334 students completed their final exams to become ACCA affiliates.
Commenting on the latest exam results, Alan Hatfield, executive director – content, quality and innovation, said: ‘It’s great to see so many students advancing towards their goal of ACCA membership in this first exam session of the year. Congratulations to all successful students from the March session.’
'ACCA strives to ensure our students’ exam success and we delivered a well-established learning support journey in the lead up to the March session. There was an enhanced focus on subject-specific live sessions that integrated key insights from examiners, illustrated using examples from the latest Examiner’s Reports. Students also benefited from deeper insight into how markers assess performance, including how marks are allocated and the most common reasons candidates lose marks, supported by practical examples from Read the Mind of the Marker articles.
'We remain committed to supporting our students’ career success and it’s great to see to see continued strong engagement with our key study resources, including My Exam Performance, our Practice Platform, and the Study Hub. Using these resources continues to support improved exam performance, meaning faster progress to qualification, especially when studying with an Approved Learning Provider.
'We also continued to work closely with Approved Learning Providers, offering guidance and resources to help them effectively embed ACCA content into their tuition and enhance the support they provide to students.’
