Hello Sir
Firstly, I very much appreciate the efforts that you’ve put in to provide reliable, timely and commendable resources for Accountancy students; by the use of which I’ve cleared all my fundamental level papers. Now, I’m planning to write AFM in December 2019; I’m yet to start with the syllabus but have a firm grasp of concepts revolving FM. Kindly recommend the amount of efforts, hours, exam technique required to clear the stated exam.
Warm Regards

The sooner you start the better. Watch our free lectures (together with the free lecture notes). Much of the syllabus is revision from Paper FM – you say you have a firm grasp and so that should be be a problem, but if you do find that you have forgotten anything then look back at the relevant FM lecture.
It is vital that you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers and that you leave several weeks after finished studying to have time to attempt every question in the Kit. It is not an easy exam and it is important to get used to the style of the examiner and the level of knowledge required.
If you also follow the link from the main AFM page to ‘Revision Kit Live’ you will find lectures working through a few past exam questions, where I deal with the approach to the questions as well as, obviously, the technical content.
