    Dear Tutor, I started working 2 months ago right from 3rd day after my FR exam, and now i haven’t able to start preparing for AA exam becz of my routine and laziness. in FR i studied for 45 days before exam and passed with 55% Thanks to Crish and god.
    all your published guides for AA on this site focused on Practice. Should i Book the exam for December ?
    I mean i don’t want to skip a attempt like last time and i have little time left. I believe i can finish the syllabus in 2 weeks if i work hard may be 3 weeks considering uncertainties. Then idk with 10 days are enough for practice. I am not sure if its feasible to pass this Scary exam in such sort notice. Do you think i should give it a try ?
    If so, Can you provide me some Strategy ? I mean i will met the deadlines you provide at all cost if you can suggest something.
    There isn’t alot of time for leisure activities when duing acca and after every exam i guess i celebrate my success too much and give my self too much rest before next exam. But now again i am serious and work hard to get through this one too 🙂

    Thank You very much

    I have 2 days for standard entry for AA exam , If you will say i should go for it i will book it today and do my best for AA exam and follow what ever plan you suggest for this much time. I just need 50 percent for passing it , I am not aiming for alot higher than that.
    In last exam i was in more or less same situation but considering the time left i will manage to get more time by waking up early and only studying after work hours.

    I can’t be responsible for the decisions of individual students – I do not know their circumstances.

    I can tell you that ACCA recommends 6 weeks for resitters.

    A student asked me 4 weeks ago and I advised caution then: https://opentuition.com/topic/acca-aa-exam

    This was my advice to a student mid-Sept preparing for Dec session: https://opentuition.com/topic/preparation-for-dec-sitting

    Perhaps after looking at these posts you will consider starting your studies now for the exam in March 2023.

    Okay, Thank you for your extremely helpful answer, Its better to attempt in march then to go through breakdown from getting failed. Now i understand its quite a bit of work to go through for this exam in particular. Not really considering sitting two exams in march currently but If i wish to sit two exam in future which combination makes more sense:
    AA + FM Or AA + TX TX+FM

    only these three exams are pending for skill module.

    My “Planning your ACCA journey” article https://opentuition.com/acca/plan-your-acca-exam-journey includes commentary on best combinations with other useful tips – like you don’t want to be planning to sit TX for the first time for a March session – because if you defer for any reason or fail – the June exam will be based on a new finance act.

    I had a prize-winning student sit AA and FM together https://opentuition.com/topic/my-approach-towards-clearing-aa-with-85 – by her own admission this was very stressful (!)
