Exam in September 2019

The AA syllabus for 2019-20 is already published here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f8/syllabus-study-guide.html#
and you can the changes summarised on the last page. Most are clarifications, except for the addition of data analytics. So yes, it will be ok to start with the current edition of the notes and lectures except I suggest you disregard the UK CG Code in Chapter 2 as this is revised for 2019-20. When the updated notes are published (should be very shortly after the June 2019 exams) – you will be able to study the UK CG Code and data analytics will be included in Chapter 15.
The Approved publishers should be selling their new editions soon.

ACCA publishes a syllabus each year for an exam year of 4 exam sessions. The current exam year is 2018-19 and the AA exam syllabus and exam docs are the same for S18, D18, M19 and J19.

So yes, everything you have for D18 is valid for J19. As a retake, I recommend you take a look at ACCA’s retake guide for AA https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7/retake-guides.html If nothing else, please use it to consider if there were any essential resources which you haven’t yet used – these will add some variety to your resit studies.

Also scroll down this page https://opentuition.com/acca/aa/ – did you use ALL the resources? Even if, for example, you already used all the practice tests when studying for December, going through again now would indicate whether you need to go back and study topics again – or you can just crack on with question practice. If you didn’t use our “AA Mock Exam Section A” – wait until your final revision later in May to attempt it.

You are very welcome!
