    I put the effort in for this exam but I doubt I will get the reward as I feel like I have studied for a different exam, despite using a current revision kit. I would much prefer a written exam as the whole CBE set up is just hassle.

    Well done gyu338. Did you study daily – do you work in accountancy?

    I recently passed F2 and during the exam I did not feel it was going well. I somehow turned it around but I certainly did not feel that the questions came out in the topics I would favour.

    I don’t work in accountancy and I am choosing to go as far down the ACCA route as I can.

    Thanks John.

    I have watched every lecture F1-F3 inclusive – but I seem to be developing my own way to get some answers.

    Hello, I would like to ask about Part A.

    The method you have used gives a figure of 53,610

    As I am teaching myself and do not work in accountancy, I tried what I thought was an alternative method using the individual figures for each year from the PV table, and I got a figure of 53,520

    If the income is a set figure each year – then we must treat it as an annuity ?

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Thank you both for the replies.

    I have a 2.1 in a non related subject and I chose ACCA over CIMA because it would seem it gives a wider choice of employment opportunities.

    I have found a BPP centre and they have been very helpful – but as I am funding this myself I am thinking of self studying for F1, F2, F3 and then maybe enrolling for tuition. I see this as an investment so self study would save me about £1000 just on these 3 exams.

    I will call about the degree.

    Do you think I need to buy books for these exams or is there enough info on this site ?

    Thanks

    As a new comer I wasn’t sure how much info was available for free etc. I have been reading this site for the last 2hours and it seems decent.

    So I need to register with ACCA and then just find an exam centre ?

    Hello People,

    I have just found this forum and this thread particularly interests me. I am in my 40s and after a career in the construction industry I am now looking to begin the ACCA journey.

    I am currently taking time out from work and I want to get stuck into study and to get the ball rolling. However, I would appreciate our advice. I have no accountancy background and I am looking at subscribing and paying for some online recorded courses for F1, F2, F3. I am doing this because I need a solid foundation to start from or do you think this is money wasted as there are cheaper alternatives ?

    Thanks
