    I prefer Kaplan books which are not theoretical. And get straight to points.

    Hey There,

    It is unlikely you will find any practice tests that would’ve been updated to this FY, and since this syllabus usually gets updated yearly, you’re unlikely to find any sort of tests. Your best bet is to practice from a revision kit, which has topics divided. Make sure you use the kit of the current version, otherwise the rates and amounts will confuse you

    thank you it really helps. I practice the revision and also try to sort the topic vice question.

    From my side, SlickPie is the best tool for accounting software. It helps in invoicing, sales tax management and finance, also more.

    So you can check the number of exemptions you will get (i.e. the papers you will be exempted from giving) by going here
    https://www.accaglobal.com/middle-east/en/help/exemptions-calculator.html

    And if in case

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you so much for your help. I will go through this link.

    Every stage we should change the study material such as Kaplan and BPP and also change the way of study.?

    Hi,

    I have decided to start my ACCA professional exams. The first one is Dec 2017 for P1 and deciding to do P2 and P3 in March 2018 so i can have a chance at passing these before the relevant ACCA exam/unit changes.
    I was wondering as i would be self studying, would it be possible to pass these exams just by using open tuition resources (lectures and notes) and past ACCA papers.
    I would appreciate any advise and also experiences of those just relying on open tuition and acca papers or similar.

    Thank you.

    I would also confuse for which follow for study and which pattern should follow…
    follow kalpna book or BPP book …either only study through video lectures and online notes materials.

    Hi there.<br />
    I qualified my AAT back in 1994 (Yes 1994!! lol) but ACCA still granted me a conditional exemption.<br />
    I know its not really a comparison since I completed AAT such a long time ago and it will have changed dramatically now – but I found ACCA to be completely new. My hardest paper so far was F5 Performance Management – I would say I could remember about 10% of this from AAT days!!<br />
    I think my biggest advantage is that I have worked in Audit and Accounts Practice since 1991 so have kept up to date with modern accounting that way.<br />
    I basically started each subject from scratch. The paper I found easiest so far was
    Taxation due to my workplace knowledge.<br />
    I would guess that AAT is now very similar to ACCA F1, F2 & F3.

    AAT is fresh start accounting. It just takes a basic knowledge of accounting to attempt the AAT exam. ACCA is the toughest one and it for accountants looking for career progression.

    I don’t have any secret sauce. I used Kaplan books and did all past exams of the past three years available on the ACCA website. My scores in the P exams are average (53%-60%). I had a strict discipline regarding time during the exam and I have always completed 100% of the exams, always keeping 15 minutes at the end to come back on some questions. I also paired and scheduled the exams nicely (numerical with wordy ones). Having gone through the classes preparatoires in France and the CFA, I am used to this kind of exams and time pressure. I initially aimed to do it in six months! (three sessions) however P1 and P5 occur the same day and I would probably have failed P5. Some people may prefer classes, however I get bored and daydream usually. Opentuition forum is excellent to motivate each other and tutors answer all your question in a timely manner, even one week before the exam!

    You only follow the Kaplan books for study ?
