rafaelassc1 says
Hi,
I will be sitting my F1 and F2 exams in Ireland. Can I still study from the website?
And Do I need to pay any courses or buy any book? If I study from here.
MikeLittle says
@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 )
