    After being out of studying for nearly a decade now I’ve opted to finish my last 4 ACCA exams. I’ve worked in finance amongst other sectors so assume I can’t relay much “on the job” knowledge at exam. With that being said I’ve decided to opt for APM as my first paper but I’m just concerned now as it mentions that it assumes SBL knowledge. I’ve already booked my class room course and paid for my exam for September but just need advice. Will I be able to pass this without doing SBL first?

    Yes. SBL covers some of the theories that are met again in APM, but you are not at a great disadvantage.
