PMSelf study

Yes, you can pass any ACCA exam self studying. I passed all the exams self studying. The key is to practice lots of questions. Learn the material using OT lectures and notes (or a Kaplan/BPP textbook if you have one, but this is not essential), and then purchase a Kaplan or BPP exam kit and practice every question in there. As the exam approaches do some timed mock exams, and make sure you understand how the CBE software works.

what is BPP textbook? I have failed my June exam and need to retake in September. Currently I take FR and AA at the same time. I think I am stressed. Please help!!

BPP and Kaplan are learning providers who produce books for ACCA study. They produce 2 books for each exam: the textbook, which contains the knowledge needed to pass, and the exam kit, which contains questions to practice. The notes and lectures on this site can be used instead of a textbook, and many prefer the notes and lectures as the textbooks are quite long and sometimes contain too much detail. It takes a long time to read through them fully, whereas the OpenTuition notes and lectures are more focused. Personally I mostly used Kaplan textbooks, because my employer paid for my studies. However if I was paying for it myself, I would have used OpenTuition notes and lectures for sure. The exam kit however, is considered an essential purchase for each exam as question practice is vital. The exam kit contains many questions for you to practice, and the learning providers will use real questions from old exams but update them so they are relevant to the current syllabus, as well as creating their own questions. There are some practice questions available on this site, as well as past papers from ACCA, but there is no substitute for the exam kit. You say you failed your June exam - did you practice many questions? Did you have an exam kit?

Thanks a lot mate.I did not ask the question but i have a habit of reading questions posed by my mates and learning from them.I have learned one thing which i think i have not been practicing the area of practicing all section C questions on Excel or Word.Thanks i will include this in one of my strategies.
