    Hi I am about to restart studying for ACCA. The last exam I completed was Business Law exam and that was in 2016. I would like to restart as my children are now at school. I was looking at doing the AA module to ease myself into studying but I got really overwhelmed with the course content. I am now going to choose another exam to do which I can practise loads and is straight forward and clear in answers so there is not much to analyse. Any advice on which exam i should study for? Financial Reporting, Financial Management or Performance Management?
    Thank you

    Although AA assumes only Financial Accounting (“F3”) knowledge (e.g. of IFRS) you may prefer to attempt Financial Reporting first – so you can refresh your financial accounting/auditing knowledge. To get to grips with AA as a practical subject it’s important to be able to visualise how transactions come to be recorded and reported in financial statements – because that’s what you are auditing.

    Thanks for your reply.

    my best method of learning is by practicing questions again and again. can Financial reporting be passed like this or performance management easier to pass with practice?

    Armed with an Approved content provider’s revision kit, past exams available on ACCA’s website and the CBEs in the Practice Platform (which will be new to you https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/cbe-platform-support.html) you should find there are lots of different questions you can work through. I really don’t recommend that you try and learn your way to get the right answer to specific questions by repeating them over and over. Any question you get wrong you need to understand why. It is very common in the applied skills exams for the same point to be tested in numerous different ways – so you need to have confidence to attempt Qs that will look unfamiliar to you.

    Perhaps look at the specimen exam for PM, FR and FM in making your choice.
