Six things you can do to maximise your chances of success in exams!
|
1. Study plan Make a study plan and stick to it! Take a look at our self-study guides to help you do this. Importantly, make sure you include a range of different styles of questions in your study plan. Also, specify which questions you will do in full to time and which ones you will write plans for. 2. Attend a course If you are able to, consider including time to attend a retake or revision course with an Approved Learning Partner (such as DBS). These will give you the chance to really understand what you need to know for your exam. 3. Do a mock exam Again, if you are able to, schedule in time to attend a mock exam day offered by one of our Approved Learning Partners or do a mock exam online. These will provide you with feedback and help you to focus your last few days of revision time. Also, include time to practise at least one mock exam in full to time. This could be a mock from the Approved Content Provider question bank or perhaps the specimen exam. 4. Check out the resources ACCA has some great resources to help you around exam technique. Make sure you factor some time in to review all the exam technique and technical articles as well as the study support videos. 5. Visit the Learning Community Use the ACCA Learning Community to link up with fellow students around the world studying the same exam as you – get tips, join discussions and share ideas and advice. You can also access live Q&A sessions and presentations. 6. Last, but not least... Remember to personalise your edition of Student Accountant so you receive specific information as you need it to help you with your next exam(s).

ACCA Qualification Student Journey
|
Exams The exams are divided into two levels – Fundamentals and Professional. The Fundamentals introduce you to both financial and management accounting techniques and cover the main technical areas that all accountants are expected to master. At the Professional level you build on that knowledge and explore advanced skills and techniques. Fundamentals Knowledge - F1 Accountant in Business
- F2 Management Accounting
- F3 Financial Accounting
Fundamentals Skills - F4 Corporate and Business Law
- F5 Performance Management
- F6 Taxation
- F7 Financial Reporting
- F8 Audit and Assurance
- F9 Financial Management
Professional Essentials - P1 Governance, Risk and Ethics
- P2 Corporate Reporting
- P3 Business Analysis
Professional Options (two to be completed) - P4 Advanced Financial Management
- P5 Advanced Performance Management
- P6 Advanced Taxation
- P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance
Experience To qualify as an ACCA member you must complete three years’ relevant work experience, achieving 13 of a list of 20 performance objectives. The performance objectives link to the exams so that what you learn relates directly to the workplace. Each performance objective sets out a clear guide of activities for you to do in the workplace and they need to be signed off by your workplace mentor. Ethics ACCA members are not just good accountants, but also accountants that are good. That is why ethics is at the heart of the ACCA Qualification, embedded in the exams, experience and through the completion of an online professional ethics module.
