Key to ACCA exams is exam technique and hard work
I failed my first 2 / 3 ACCA exams after moving on from AAT. The step up on effort and attainment was a huge shock to me as I only used to do AAT revision literally a week or before the exam.
After than passed the next 10 exams I sat in a row.
The key is to not get bogged down in the fringe areas of the syllabus. Concentrate on where you can get all the easy marks. Don't question spot but make sure you nail the basics.
Also forget the BPP study text. Waste of time, way too much info. REED and BPP classes provide course notes which are a third the size and are geared towards you passing. Open tuition has their own free course notes - brilliant. Mike Little is a great teacher aswell, there are many free videos lectures on there.
The best thing I done by P2 was enroll on a LSBF virtual classroom course, like the reeds of this world but the best at online material by a county mile.
People say Q practice is key but for me it was all bout the knowledge.
Here is how I passed:
1) Quality of teaching is key. If you don't attend a class then you NEED to to some online lectures from great teachers. Open tuition provides great material and is EXAM FOCUSED.
2) You need to understand what is being taught, otherwise don't move on. This comes back to teaching.
3) Constantly go over the main areas again and again.
4) Leave the Q practice towards the end for discursive subjects but get plenty done for the practical ones such as F6/F9 etc.
I have bought all the videos courses for LSBF if anyone is interested.

Read back over Glynis's posts and then answer!
I fully understand the value of ACCA however the value is only there with relevant experience. Glynis is struggling to get the job she wants to give her that experience. By persevering she is running the danger of being over qualified with no experience which I'm sure you understand doesn't help.
My pay increased when I got my ACCA but I was already working in practice so had 5 years of experience before I even started.
I fully agree with the fact that tuition is much better but Glynis has said several times that she isn't in the position to take tuition.
I made my comment on the whole history of Glynis's posts, not on the value of the ACCA qualification but the use of it to Glynis!0 -
I agree I did take this in relative isolation.
I'm not all clued up on the posters full history but wouldnt put an age limit on how long the ACCA has value for.
I do agree though that it depends on the experience you have already obtained amongst other things.0 -
