    Sorry for re-posting but this is somewhat urgent! 🙁
    Hello my fellow ACCA students, i need some guidance on taking these 4 papers at once. Here is a brief description of me currently. I have some background in accountancy but ain’t that strong. I cleared my first 3 papers with a decently high score. I prefer calculation over theory but both suits me quite well. I am also a full time student. What i am trying to find out are the following. Note to ALL: It is okay if you did not take 4 papers at once, i will still look through all your suggestions! 🙂
    – How many hours should i study a day? ( for eg, lets say 2 hours each paper a day, equivalent to 8hrs a day)
    – When should i start my revision? (I have yet to choose the course, the course last about 4-5months, when should i start studying? eg, 2months in, or 3 months in etc…)
    – How should i split my time to study so that i can make the most out of it? ( split the study sessions into multiple sessions?)
    Thanks to all those fellow ACCA students that chipped in your opinion! I will think about ALL your suggestions and i will come up with a final plan myself.
    Have a lovely day,
    Flavian

    I normally took 2 exams at a time and studied about 8-12 hours per week, so 4-6 hours per exam. But I always felt that wasn’t enough so I struggled with exam anxiety a lot as I felt under-prepared! I normally started revision about a month before the exams, but again I never felt this was long enough. I have read that we tend to remember better the things we learn at the beginning and end of study sessions, so shorter study sessions with frequent breaks should, in theory, help you remember more. I hope this helps & you find a plan that works for you!
