Hello,
First of all thanks to all tutors who are behind creating this wonderful platform for all students.
I have a simple question related to ACCA studies. I am about to start my ACCA journey and came across this platform and found amazing but am not sure whether these information on OT’s platform alone is enough for a student to appear for exam or this is just a kind of crash course related curated information for revision purpose ?
I would highly appreciate the response for my question.
Thank you in advance.

I have a learning difficulty so I find the pace of BPP classes way too fast for me (I can’t comment on Kaplan). The tutor was very unhelpful, however the revision tutor was really nice and often stayed late to help with additional questions – however, by that time it was too late for me as I was feeling very overwhelmed. Thankfully I passed the exam by the skin of my teeth.
For my March exam and I am doing self-study, which has allowed me to study at my own pace, however I have noticed that I do feel a bit lost without a tutor’s insight into how the exam is structured and when I am stuck on questions, sometimes it’s helpful to speak to someone in the here and now, rather than submitting questions and then waiting hours to get a response, especially if your daily study time is limited. So for my June exam, I am going to do a mixture of self study and invest in a private tutor for a few hours a month.
OpenTuition is a great resource, it’s been around for years, so they are obviously doing something right.
I would suggest that you try a mixture to figure out what’s best for you as everyone is different. Maybe for this exam, you could try just using OpenTuition. If the resources are enough and you pass the exam, then it’s all good!! However, your next exam might be a bit harder for you to get to grips with, and you might find that although there are loads of resources available on OT, you could benefit from having an actual tutor to speak to.
You can always start a study group too.Hope this helps 🙂
Good Luck! - AuthorPosts
