    Hello,

    I have 4 ACCA Exams left which are the two compulsory strategic papers: SBL & SBR. As well as the two optional papers which I’ve chosen, AFM & APM. Is there a logical order in which these papers should be taken?
    My original plan was SBL first followed by AFM, would this work?

    Also would it better to choose Kaplan or BPP, I am new to ACCA and only have those 4 exams left due to university exemptions.

    Thanks

    Since you do not plan to sit AAA (which would require you to sit SBR first), order doesn’t matter. But as you have not sat any professional exams before, you might be better starting with a 3-hour exam rather than the 4-hour case study exam.

    BPP’s and Kaplan’s content have the same approval, so this tends to be a matter of choice (or availability) – though you can get 20% from BPP as an OT student https://opentuition.com/20-discount-bpp-books

    The 3 hour exams being AFM or APM? And the 4 hour exams being SBL and SBR?
    Thanks

    Only SBL is 4 hours – this is the “case study” exam. All other exams are 3 hours.
