      That specimen exam is from ACCA.

      The main difference between this and previous exams is the inclusion of multiple choice questions. We have lots of those available on this site now.

    Hope this makes the pass rate improve but i suspect timing of 3hrs will be an issue because the whole syllabus will be examined.

    Well done! It is is our plan as students to pass exams at the first sitting and Open Tuition have helped in the processes.

    The review notes are awesome and support from any angle. What a way to give back to those who are in need!!!!!!!!!!

    The exams are not easier, and it is more time consuming to write so many things in the time allotted – time management is what it’s about to succeed at ACCA. Thank you for making things understandable and digestive.

    OT, you’re the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Regards,
