I am new to ACCA. I had attempted one paper previously and I passed that. I am now attempting two papers and feel I a bit stressed .
Does any one have a strategy for studying two papers at one time? I work full time as well.

Create yourself a study plan and above all be strict and stick to it.
I completed ACCA in just under 4 years. I sat 2 papers in June and 1 in December each year.
The way I did it was 2 to 2.5 hours per evening Monday to Thursday. I never (ever) studied on Friday evening, that was my night off.
I revised theory for around half hour in my lunch break.Nearer the time, say 4 to 6 weeks before the exams I also gave up my weekends to study on afternoons.
Go through all of the Opentuition lectures.
Get as many Exam papers as possible and summarise them into brief notes.An average student will fail some exams along the way and have to resit (I failed 3). Stay focused and dont get downbeat. You will pass them next time!
Be strict with yourself – but above all else – keep your sense of humour and have fun!
Very best of luck with your studies
February 25, 2015 at 5:25 pm #230202I usually choose one written and one computational.
I am able to listen to OT lectures while i work so i do that and read the notes on the commute to and from work.
for the computational i usually have a liquid meal at my desk and take that time to work questions from the kit.
I don’t study at home (cant with a baby) so i get in a lot of time at work when possible.
the weeks leading up to the exam means practice one exam paper per day.
as MikeLittle says the key to passing is ‘PRACTICE, PRACTICE and then practice some more”
