You have scored such high marks, many students must wonder what is your study technique?

For the prior to study, I read through syllabus, the “size” of the paper to plan for my studying. I think  2-3 months  should be taken for each paper .

At the start of the learning stage, I study entire syllabus in details, practice all questions of BPP revision kit, take advantage of opentuition’s free studying resourses.

Deeply study and make sure that I understand not remember the answer, because  to pass F1 you must apply your knowledge  in real conditions.

I think 1 week prior to the real exam, you should review all knowledge, you can write your notes into a small book

Yes, Past exam practice is a good way to past ACCA exam, I practice regularly to be familiar with the style of the examiners.

To my mind, determination, patience, stick to the proper plan, and be confident to take the exam are the most important factors in my success  in my ACCA exam.
