General ACCASBL or SBR?

JJasmine6y ago
I want to attempt one of these exams in March 2020. I know I only have 6 weeks to study and revise for the exam. 1) Is it possible considering I only have 6 weeks? 2) Should I go for SBL or BBR? which is easier? I would appreciate your help with this.

"Ease"/"Difficulty" is relative - I suggest you start with ACCA's "on one page" summary introductions: SBL: https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/acca/SBL/SBL_exam_approach_infographic_v2.pdf SBR: https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/acca/SBR/approaching-sbr.pdf Each of these has links to support resources - so you could quickly look at the Study Support guides and use the study plan in the getting started section to see how you can use 6 weeks to prepare.

There is no easy paper as all papers requires a lot of paper But the SBL course is large considering it has topics from P1 and P3 and new topics and the exam is four hours, it is a case study and the exam can go either way and requires a lot of commercial awarness I would pick SBR if i had six weeks and as you have more certainty through the syllabus guide what IFRS AND IAS are examinable.
