September 7, 2019 at 9:42 am #545419Why don’t you dip into what we have to offer for one of the papers – you can download the notes (pdfs) for any or all of these papers – or review them online – try out a lecture – look at a practice test. We have many many successful students all the way up to affiliation for membership.
Re how many exams/progression – for definitive answers you should always refer to ACCA sources https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/enter-an-exam/exam-progression-rules.html. If you passed FA before September (which it sounds as though you did) you can theoretically sit 4 exams this quarter.
But I strongly recommend you reconsider – the average number of exams sat by students per session is 2. I recommend that you get at least two more of the on-demand exams if not all of them (I assume you will sit a variant of LW which is on-demand) under your belt before you start on FR.
September 7, 2019 at 10:04 am #545422sir what if i give Management accounting (f2 ) and (f7) Financial reporting this december? okay i have reconsidered my decision ..Will i be able to pass? My cousin who is doing CA says f7 (financial reporting ) is a very tough paper..you do LW(F4) AND MA(F2) till december . What do you recommend sir?
September 7, 2019 at 10:34 am #545425Although ACCA has dropped the numbering F1 … F9 and does not enforce a strict progression it was there for a reason – as is the distinction between 2-hour on-demand “knowledge” exams (“F1-F4”) and 3-hour applied skills exams.
I recommend that you clear the on-demand CBEs first. As you are still starting out you should not be overly ambitious – if you were to study MA/FR at the same time and then fail FR that would be an immediate set back. You say you’ve studied F2 before but forgotten everything – so unless you try the CBE Specimen and find it all comes flooding back to you that you haven’t forgotten it – you will need to devote some serious study time and question practice to it. As for FA you should be aiming for a firm foundation of 2/3rds of the marks rather than scrape a pass as PM (F5) is also tough and requires a through foundation.September 7, 2019 at 10:59 am #545432Sir i have passed FA (f3) with 68% marks..so you recommend me to take FMA(F2) AND LW(F4) in these 3 months?
September 7, 2019 at 11:04 am #545434sir i want to complete my acca as soon as possible… i am not intelligent but maybe hardwork can let me achieve..i dont have a degree at the age of 22..i want to get a degree by the age of 24 atleast..it seems impossible..
September 7, 2019 at 2:25 pm #545462Since you will presumably enter for on-demand CBEs you could prepare for and enter AB(F1) and MA(F2) and as soon as you have passed one of those, then start preparing for and enter LW(F4). Then depending on where you are (time wise) enter for FR for the next exam session. You are far more likely to succeed with a slow and steady approach rather than trying to rush it – spreading your studies too thinly over too many exams – and risking failing.
