    Hello,

    My question may sound a bit silly but as am struggling to juggle between studies and family, thought its better to take your advise.

    I have completed 8 ACCA exams and i know i should start working to gain practical experience. But I want to wait for one more year because of personal circumstances.

    Is it ok to complete, as many as one, can ACCA exams or all of them before you start working/gaining practical experience towards the membership? Or study + work experience, is the only recipe for successful career in ACCA.

    Looking forward to your reply.
    Thanks in advance.

    It doesn’t make any difference as far as passing the exams is concerned. You don’t need the work experience to be able to pass the exams themselves 🙂

    Please I need help. I will like to start recording some of my experience gained and objectives achieved at work but I dont just know how to start with the skills and learning statement. How does it work, Do you write a skill and learning statement for each or example quoted under a particular objective?Please I need advice. Thanks

    This has nothing to do with Paper F9 and so I am afraid I cannot help you.

    Best is to ask in the General ACCA forum and other students will be able to advise you.
