    Hi John,

    Hope you can assist in a general query. I’ve passed all my ACCA exams apart from F3 ( I kept putting it off and over my study life concentrated on my written exams more).

    How long do you think it will take for me to familiarise my self with F3 and be in a situation to pass? I currently work full time

    what would be my best strategy ? study the text or pure past exams questions

    I appreciate this may be a strange request

    regards

    It should not take long to pass F3.

    You cannot study from past questions because the ACCA does not release past questions for Paper F3.

    You should watch my free lectures – they are a complete course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well – and you must purchased a current edition of a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, and practice all the questions in it.

    The notes are still OK – the syllabus for the exam is not changing.
