ACCA Pass Rates 2026: The Official Global Data — and How QuintEdge Reports Results

ACCA publishes global pass rates for every paper after each sitting — that official data is below. What you won't find here is a "QuintEdge ACCA pass rate": in line with ACCA's guidance for tuition providers, QuintEdge does not advertise an institute pass rate for ACCA. Outcomes are published the verifiable way instead — as named student results.

Quick answer: In the June 2026 sitting, ACCA's official global pass rates ranged from 39% (AAA) to 55% (TX) across the session papers. The March 2026 sitting had 103,785 exams completed worldwide. QuintEdge publishes named student results rather than an institute percentage — 24 ACCA results are on the public wall, from 8,000+ ACCA students trained since 2018.

Why QuintEdge Doesn't Publish an ACCA Pass Rate

Two reasons, stated plainly. First, ACCA's guidance for tuition providers does not permit institutes to advertise pass rates — so QuintEdge doesn't, anywhere on this site. Second, QuintEdge's ACCA results wall is a partial listing (many students' results are not published), so it could not serve as a verifiable cohort numerator even if a rate were permitted. The honest alternative is the one you can check: individual named results, each backed by an official score document before it is listed — the same verification standard used for named CFA results and the FRM brief.

ACCA Exams in India: 2026 Practicalities

Two things Indian ACCA students should know this year. Remote exams were withdrawn for India from the March 2026 session — session papers are now centre-based. And on-demand computer-based exams cover only BT, MA, FA and LW, taken at licensed CBE centres; every other paper follows the quarterly sitting calendar (March/June/September/December).
