Thank you sir for response. Open tuition has always been my savior through out my ACCA journey.
I am an ACCA member from Nov 2022 and would like to ask whether I have to make a CPD declaration before December 2022 or not. As in ACCA information it has clearly stated that “ new members must submit a CPD declaration from 1 Jan after you became a member “. But a few days ago I got mail from an ACCA stated that “It’s time to declare a CPD and need to schedule before 1 Jan 2023”. So I would like to know about the whether i have to declare it before this year end or not : as my ACCA portal shows that “You are all up to date with your declarations” and Released 1 January 2023(In professional development dashborad).
Thank you in advance.
I couldn’t find a relevant forum to confess how grateful I am for open tuition resources so I decided to write here thinking that it may help ongoing students as well on their journey. Now from September onwards I am an ACCA affiliate but this journey has not been as smooth as I think. Until my all skills paper(9/13), I had completed all my papers in my first attempt and while attending a class for professional paper, I think that I can attend by self study as I used to do in my most skill paper. And at that time my confidence level is on the next level that I will pass my all ACCA paper in 1st attempt . I am that type of student who doesn’t attend class regularly but I think it would be problematic in your ACCA journey if you cannot make it on your own. I attended my SBL paper as a 1st professional paper and prepared it on my own by reading books and kits as I had prepared for skill papers. But on my result I failed with 46 marks but it doesn’t make me feel that much level of sadness as I thought throughout my journey “What would happen if I failed? Cause i know i can beat on the next attempt. So in the June attempt I attended my exam with my same confidence level but again I failed with 49 . But that day, it hit me differently, I got shocked and even cannot believe my eyes and it took me 4-5 days to normalize and accept the fact that I failed again. Then after a week i started to prepare SBR and SBL side by for upcoming September but i am still confused regarding my decision to attend both or not at a time. But Before 1 month, I tested COVID positive and in post period i am suffering from high fever and i still remember before a certain days of exam too i have a hope that my health condition will be normal and attend a exam but until the last moment i am not able to recover so with a heavy heart i had decided to withdraw my exam . At that time, I was so frustrated that again 3 months had been delayed. It’s been very difficult for me to continue my study with the same confidence and efforts I used to give in my past papers. Then I decided to start from my scrap and decided to attend only SBR for the December session with my full efforts as 2 papers will not be feasible as I am a full time working student. And as stated earlier i am that type of students who hadn’t been regular in course class so i am not in position to ask my tutors for professional guidance. So on my search, I came to know about open tuition and I started to use lecture videos and notes completely and also I used a number of ACCA resources that have been available .On exam day, I was not able to complete around 12 marks so i got nervous that i will not make it again. But on result day, I was shocked as I got the result: Pass with marks 80 in my 1st attempt for SBR. Then everything changed, I got my 1st position in my country and also due to my SBR marks ACCA SBR expert tutor Tom Clendon provided a scholarship for ACCA SBL mock from one of expert tutor, Sean Purcell . After that I passed my SBL and the remaining 2 papers: both AAA and AFM with rank as a Nepal 1st in both. And this made me realize that professional papers do not only test knowledge but also test your real professionalism and techniques too.
At last, I just want to say, this journey taught me that if you believe in yourself, and are able to give full efforts, failure will obviously turn into success and for all my professional papers I used open tuition notes and lectures side by side with acca resources.
Never give up on your effort even if the result is different than expected.Once again Thank you Open Tuition Team.
