Hi everyone!
I have decided to undertake the ACCA and wanted to get some clarification on when I can take the first three exams (Business & Technology, Management Accounting, and Financial Accounting). I understand that these exams can be taken “on-demand”. What does that entail? Does this mean I don’t have to wait until the standard Sep/Dec/March/June sittings to sit them?
Also, how many exams can I sit at once and what is the estimated time needed to revise each module (I have an Economics degree if that helps with the studying for it at all)?
Finally, I was planning on using the free online lectures and revision kits for sale from OpenTutition as my sole way of studying for the qualification- is this the right way to go about it? And would it suffice?
Thank you guys 🙂

Yes re resources – it doesn’t matter so much for the first papers if an approved revision kit is not the latest, but once you get into the applied skills exams it is vital to have a current edition.
