    I don’t know how many responses I’ll get to this question, as I know that most people who use this website don’t get lessons, but I thought I’d ask anyway.

    I’m extremely fortunate that my work pay for lessons, in my old job I tried to self teach myself a lot, but I found it hard to stick to a timetable for the CBE exams, as you can just sit the exams “whenever” and I ended up doing live online lessons.

    So I have one more CBE exam to take, F4. I’m trying to plan my holiday around my exams. I plan on studying F4 through the summer then starting F7 in September. (I’m currently studying F5/F6 taking them in June)

    There is a course in manchester which runs 11th June -23rd July on Saturdays. I was just wondering how long a gap you would leave between lessons and exam? I was thinking 2 weeks? I’m always tempted to give a bit longer but obviously to long and then I might find it hard to keep up motivation / unnescarily prolong stress and just wanted to see what was “typical”.

    I’m posting this in general and not F4 as I figure people who have sat F4 so have an idea of how much revision is needed wont be looking in there anymore!

    Hi,
    I believe that ACCA say you should have 6 weeks of revision before an exam (as a guideline) but I expect that most taught courses will have between 2 to 4 weeks of revision prior to the exam.
    I have always left 4 weeks and find this to be enough so far.
