Pass rates announced for December 2024 ACCA exam sitting

Pass rates have been announced by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) for students who sat their exams in December 2024.

113,910 entered for the December sitting, which saw 130,898 exams completed. 

Alan Hatfield, executive director – content, quality and innovation, said: ‘We’ve made a strong start to the new year with this robust set of results which reflects the dedication and hard work of our students. 

ACCA is focussed on supporting our students' career success and provides a wealth of excellent learning support for students and tutors. I'm delighted to see continued strong engagement with our key study resources, including My Exam Performance, our Practice Platform and the ACCA Study Hub, which has now been used by over 142,000 students. Using these resources has been shown to support improved exam performance, meaning faster progress to qualification, especially when studying with an Approved Learning Provider.   

The new Student Account mobile app also continues to grow in popularity, with over 220,000 users so far this year. Students can access a wealth of information via the app, including learning support resources, and can set their individual preferences to receive content and notifications most relevant to their study plan.

In addition, we would like to congratulate 4,734 students who have now completed all their exams and will move to affiliate status. We look forward to welcoming them to membership when they will join over 250,000 talented and committed ACCA members around the world undertaking successful careers and making a positive impact.'
