Organizational tips

Dear ACCA Students,

I think I’m facing some issues organizing my schedule for working my ACCA exam. I’m a full time employee in a finance company and I’m doing quite a lot of hours. I have as well a quite demanding wife and a new born baby. I have managed to handle it but I’m now facing some issues :

1. I have less and less time available for studying
2. More I advance in ACCA exam, the more work needs to be done.

I think I can win in efficiency while doing ACCA work but I always failed to find an efficient way to study.

I have tried revision card with no success (and the strong feeling that I had more drawbacks than benefits as it’s highly time consuming and you may miss some important topic when summarizing) and do a lot of exercise (This is one of the most efficient for some topic (like F5) but not really relevant for topic like F8 for example).

Basically I’m always bad when I need to memorize a lot of things.

I just wonder. Are you able to share some tip you use to memorize stuff efficiently ? Do you have any specific schedule / workflow that you apply to make sure you will success at the exam ? Any reading on this topic that might be helpful ?

Thank you for your help !

Nicolas
