General ACCAFirst ACCA Exam (P1)

AAn8y ago
Hi, I have graduated with an accounting degree and due to the content of my course I have got 9 acca exemptions (f1 to f9). I want to take my first professional exam in March (p1). Will getting an exam kit and book from say, kaplan, suffice for a pass? Or should I enrol onto a tuition course as it is my first exam?

No need for a study text or a course for P1. Start by watching the P1 lectures here on OT along with reading OT course notes, and then... “Try this: – put your study text in an envelope and mail it to a fictitious address in another country … and don’t put your own name and address on the envelope as the sender (use another fictional address) – open the revision kit and read it, from start to finish, question, answer, question, answer, question, answer, question, answ…. and keep doing that, reading the book from start to finish – when I say “read” that’s exactly what I mean. Don’t try to learn. Don’t try to memorise. Just read – pay attention to the way in which the specific question requirement is addressed – notice how many different points are raised in the answers – reflect upon the professionalism of the answer – and read too: examiner’s reports the last 10 technical articles my exam technique article on the P1 home page the exam technique article on the P3 (yes, P3) home page “From a marker’s perspective” – this article repeats the advice from my own article but it may reassure you to know that the advice is not mine alone but is supported by no less a person that a member of the P3 marking team – but, most of all, read that book over and over again and again until 21 November and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P1” – Mike Little
