Hi,
How did you find the exam?
How did you find the exam?
...
For question 7 I presented my answer by pasting tables from excel and then typing out the workings underlying the table, for example column a = column b + column c. Did anyone else use this approach to presenting their answer? I thought that the guidance on presenting calculations was a bit ambiguous and am unsure if my approach will be enough to be awarded the marks.
Examiners report is out. 399 attempted and only 80 passed. 20% pass rate again like April
They have explicitly stated in the report that given the open-book nature, this exam will be more application based.
Welcome to the new era of exam papers I guess!
I failed this session and part of my concern is associated with past paper practice.
A lot of the pre-2020 papers have significant amounts of bookwork in them, hence in all fairness I'm not sure if they are a true reflection now of these online exams.
Acted tutors - could you please advise alternative question practice papers that might be more suitable?
I'm considering to order the Acted Mock Pack and Additional Mock Packs however I'm wondering if these also contain more bookwork than the online exams? If so, would you be updating these materials?
I'm only asking because I had done the Acted Assignments for the September sitting however I found that some of them had a bit too much bookwork Qs compared to the balance we now see with these online exams.
Agreed with the above - even the mock exam for September still contained several book work questions. It would be great to understand what ActEd will be doing about this.
I’m also a bit miffed about the 20% pass rate two sittings in a row though. Both online versions of SP7 have had incredibly poor pass rates (I think the lowest of the SPs for both sittings) - does that not indicate something fundamentally wrong with either the difficulty of the paper, or the adequacy of the study materials available for this exam?
I failed in April and in September again.. by 2 marks. 20% pass rate is just not fair.. SA3 had a 45% pass rate and it is supposed to be the hardest exam. This is just ridiculous and incredibly unfair. How do they even decide on the pass rate?

Have you got any reply from the message above? I will send them a similar one today.
