Sorry I meant to say I started in March and wrote my exams in June. On top of that I was doing my OBU. And I passed all of them =DQUOTE(terryble @ Oct 17 2012, 11:17 AM)
Well, the passing rate is based on the population of all ACCA students on the planet, i strongly believed that the statement is statistically reasonable, unless u are saying all previous students are worse that existing student.
Of course i have no argument that ultimately it still comes back to the individual. There are still 6.4% students who can actually make it (pass 3 P papers in 1 sitting). So the point comes back to how to make yourself to be the top 6.4% ACCA student on the planet. Anyway, my friend did pass 3 P papers in one go before (with 2 resit papers)..
Personally, i think doing so is suicidal, as Ianlee only ask this question in mid Oct 2012~~
This should be a question that should be determined much earlier~~
Lastly, i am not in anyway "predicting results", i am stating the CHANCE of passing 3 papers in 1 go~~
Your statement has no logic at all. You are making 2 wrong assumptions when performing that computation:Of course i have no argument that ultimately it still comes back to the individual. There are still 6.4% students who can actually make it (pass 3 P papers in 1 sitting). So the point comes back to how to make yourself to be the top 6.4% ACCA student on the planet.

First, you assume passing a paper is TOTALLY based on random luck, i.e., every single student has the exact same chance of passing a paper, regardless of intelligence, preparation and language mastery.
Secondly, you assume the events are independent of each other, i.e., passing the first paper does not affect the probability of a student passing the second and the third paper.
A simple question to rebut your statement - if assuming all things are equal, except for the fact that student A studied for 5 months, and student B studied for only 5 days, will both students share the same chance of passing all 3 papers?
I do agree it would be a bit late if Ianlee has not begin any studies though... The last 2 papers are no real tough!
