    guys

    has anyone of you felt like giving up on school because of lack of time for all the commitments??

    here is my situation… i am a young married man attending school after work, i do P1.P2 and F9.

    MY main challenge is that i do not feel myself settled in any of this, i do not have time,for study,is it wise to postpone P2 to September,or maybe december and at least focus on what i believe i can do best? being F9 and P1 ??

    My life seems almost miserable……please guys help ME OUT

    Completely understand, I guess, do it slowly and step by step, but I do not think giving up is an option. Start with what is manageable right now and stick with it. Motivate yourself, watch positive films, read inspiring books to keep your positive mind-set. I am 100% sure you are not the only one who feels this way and also know for sure, giving up is the only way to failure. Choose wisely.

    Yes, no problem, you may need a day or two for a break to feel refreshed? I failed F9 3x now – was working then but single, so you must be proud of yourself you have gone that far despite of your personal commitments. I nearly gave up, but after all my interview experiences, I realised how important this is if I want to progress. Completing ACCA is my best option and I will do it even if I have to do it slowly, and if I have to keep trying again and again…

    We can do it!!

    Do you work full time? If so then 3 modules in 1 sitting is way too much.
    To put it into perspective, a full time student is only allowed to do a maximum of 4 modules. So a person working full time, doing 3 modules is studying 75% of a full time student.
    So my advice is don’t do more than 2 modules per sitting if you work full time.
