Firstly, I recommend you read the following article- https://opentuition.com/acca/plan-your-acca-exam-journey/

I would recommend you make use of the ACCA study hub.

I would recommend you attempt F1 first. With F3, if you get a good grip of double entry it should form a solid foundation for the rest of your financial accounting ACCA studies.

thank you so much, i just realised that i bought the f3 book that expires in aug 2025 so i have to do this first. i am so stuck on general ledger and double entry, i even attempted the acca parctise questions and failed. it is so difficult

I think the only major change in the syllabus is IFRS 18 will become examinable.

Hi Nikita, I think I've made the same mistake ? I'm studying FA now and struggling to understand it. Have you passed your exam yet? Kind regards, Immy
