Hi,
Which book/study texts do you recommend for me to use specifically to help me with Accounting Standards for the P7 paper?
I understand that it is important to learn the standards so is there any book that covers the standards only?
Thanks,

Have you downloaded our notes (see Chapter 15) and listened to/watched the corresponding lecture? https://opentuition.com/acca/aaa/relevant-accounting-standards-acca-advanced-audit-and-assurance-aaa
If you have any questions arising from that Chapter or Steve’s lecture please do ask further questions on this forum.

Do you think I have enough time to prep for the Sept exam through your online lectures?
Thank you
July 4, 2020 at 9:00 am #575890If you download ACCA’s Study Support Guide there’s a planner you can use to schedule your time. You can see that the lectures probably average around 20 mins each

Of course you need to read the accompany notes too.
For revision you should practice – as a BARE minimum – 4 hours’ worth of exam style and standard questions from a current kit – so at 3.25 hours an exam that’s a minimum of 13 hours to be spent writing answers – but you should double that time to allow for review of answers against marking schemes and reading examiner’s reports.
You should allow a day to “sit” a mock exam and review your answers.
I also recommend that you include in your schedule reading the articles/resources that I have highlighted in sticky posts at the top of this forum.
If it looks “tight” to be prepared for September you would be better preparing for December – schedules tend only to get tighter and more pressured as deadlines approach!July 4, 2020 at 11:47 am #575928Thank you for your reply.
This is a retake so I don’t feel I have to go through every single lecture, just some refreshers on the accounting standards and of course exam question practice.

July 4, 2020 at 12:05 pm #575943Also I’m confused as to how I should practice exam questions as it is now Computer based, should I still be using the kit?
July 4, 2020 at 12:31 pm #575953Familiarise yourself with ACCA resouces https://www.accaglobal.com/ca/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7.html See the link to CBE question practice
You should practice the questions that are available in the practice platform in the practice platform – there will be additional questions in the kit for which you should use the kit.Please checkout ALL my sticky posts at the top of this forum – this is where I flag the most essential resources.
