    • Hello Ken ,
      You are in the right place ; sitting on a Gold mine with out even knowing it. Please Kindly down load materials from open tuition website ? ( Free Lectures and revision notes for your personal use ) .
      Take advantage of the free online lectures. These also are Specially tailored for the ACCA Exams. Nothing more.
      All you need is all you’ve got available right here ! Any other material is a plus.
      If you can effectively put them into use , you wouldn’t need any other additions or lectures . Digest every details, and practice questions along side with the ACCA revision kits.
      Wishing you the very best. HAPPY READING !
      Thank you.

    • Find out from ACCA if you are entitled to any exemptions. Then decide what exams to study for first. Perhaps try two to see how it goes. Then decide on study resources. OpenTuition has good notes and lectures, but you should buy a revision kit (questions) from BBP or Kaplan to practise on. Remember most exam attempts need to be registered well in advance.

    • You can not only do ACCA even I believe you can also get Exemption on some Fundamental Level Papers of ACCA, you contact ACCA office in your city for more information plus I believe you can easily complete ACCA as you have practical experience in your accountancy field

  23. Hey everyone,

    I was wondering if you could ALL give me a couple of quick but very helpful and needed answers, 1) From your personal experience is it achievable to get a pass mark of 60+ through just studying the materials on this website for f1-f9 papers 2) if possible up to a certain point, what exams can you go up to before 60+ marks is too hard to achieve off OT materials alone?

    OR if you all say its not possible at all, what from your proven experience is the minimum study material I would need to buy in order to get 60 mark range like maybe a revision kit just for extra practice. Unfortunately I dont have the money to invest at this present time in study materials and feel it is hindering me in a big way in progressing which is frustrating but OT might be able to solve that (how I wish!). Thank you in advance if you can take the time out!

    • Oh and just in case you are wondering I am aware the pass mark is 50. But Iguess that is another question! If 60+ is a complete no then is it possible to get at least a pass in f1-f9 papers with just Opentuition material only. Like I said before if people that have actually done it could respond especially it would be very much appreciated as I would have some solid proof but all comments are welcomed. Thank you.

    • it is possible that you can even get 70+ marks all that matters is that you read and understand the text properly and you can test that by using revision kits(exam kit) if they are available on this website i am not sure there is or not but i think there is when you complete your revision kit give a mock exam and you will know whether you can get 60+ or not if you get 70 marks or above you are most likely to end up with 68-78 marks in the exam i hope that was helpful

      • Thank you for your answer above I am in a similar position as Kris and was wondering if i could study using OT material only…. I registered ACCA a week ago and studying after work i needed clarity. Thank you

    • ITS MORE THAN POSSIBLE TO HIT THAT MARK WAT U NEED IS TO HAVE A STUDY GROUP IN THAT U WILL ASK EACH OTHER QWESTIONS. IN TERMS OF BOOKS U CAN USE ANY BUSINESS TEXT, SO LONG AS U FOLLOW YO SYLLUBUS. ENJOY.

  40. am relying open tuition for study.I have kaplan note but I like only opentuition because the note are short and precise.Is opentuition emerged from ACCA ?Who is opentuition why the team are doing selfless service for the world.

    • @rafaelassc1, Yes, you can study from the website. You MAY feel that you need a study text, particularly if you find there are any areas where there remains some doubt in your mind. However, you really MUST acquire a revision kit – they are books full of exam-type questions and practicing those questions is essential for you if you wish to improve dramatically your chances of exam success. ( This applies to ALL your ACCA exams from F1 through to P7 )
