Forget the pass rate, where's the tab?


Seriously though, firms generally send out an email in the morning with the breakdown.

GusFring

One of the firms sent a mail earlier.

Pass - 1341 people (80%)
Credit - 236 people (14%)
Fail - 101 people (6%)

Three sat the exams in my apartment, all three passed one came 4th.

PwC overall pass rate - 91%
EY overall pass rate - 87%

I think the interim elective and extra AAFRP time made a big difference to the pass rate.

Pass rate is outrageous this year, 94% Core:D

Well done to all by the way

Hey your grand according to the Marking rules a yellow means that you met or marginally exceeded requirements. Green is if you more that met minimum requirement.
If you got Yellow in FR that means you met the requirements for it!

Hi Lads

Congrats to anyone that passed their exams fair play. I manage to fail the tax elective again!! I didnt feel the need last time to get the new tax book and I used the one from 2014-2015. If anyone that passed has the core and elective tax textbooks for 2015 - 2016 could you please private message me and I would gratefully buy these form you.

Whats the main difference between the FAE books provided by CAI and those provided by CGS? Are they summarised? Easier to understand?

Hello students,

I took early retirement from industry ten years ago at age 56. I was a chartered accountant, qualified in 1974. Back then you could do either a degree plus three years practice and final two exams, or five exams over five years. I did the five exams in five years.

I've read a bit of the thread and it is full of abbreviations. Can someone spell out the abbreviations for me, and tell me what is the route to chartered and other bodies now.

m1ck007

Degree - cap 2 - fae - chartered
Masters - fae - chartered
Accounting technician - cap 1 - cap 2 - fae - chartered
All with relevant work experience.

Does anyone have a copy of the May 2016 AAFRP paper?

diomed

Just a bit of trivia.
Around 1970 my boss showed me his finals examination papers ~1950.
From memory they had about eight exam papers in a short timeframe.

That's what the FAE exams are. You have the following subjects examined in two sittings:

Business Leadership
Audit & Assurance
Finance
Financial Reporting
Management Accounting
Taxation

The first exam is called FAE Core and the second is called FAE Simulations
And then you have the exam for whichever elective you have chosen.
Those 3 exams are done in three consecutive days.

I count 7 exams. So we are back to the 50s

Did anyone hear anything since submitting membership applications on Friday?
They took payment off my card straight away on Friday afternoon but I don't want to jinx it by asking them if mine was ok!

I applied on the 25th Nov and the money came out of my account last week. No confirmation email or anything yet though.

Hope my CA Diary is OK!!

superb choice of username

Your applications will be presented to the membership committee on 13th Dec when they will decide. You will get confirmation email up to 5 days later if no problems (http://www.charteredaccountants.ie/en/Site/Services/Your-Institute/Admissions-to-Membership/)
