    There’s no such thing as an “average student” and it depends very much on how long ago a student studied AA , how well they passed it, how much assumed knowledge they have retained. Having some practical experience can also influence how many hours students spend preparing for AAA – though not necessarily in a good way!

    There are 31 chapters to cover in the notes (either Ch31 or Ch32 depending on whether you are studying for INT or UK variant. You can add up how long it will take to watch all the lectures here https://opentuition.com/acca/aaa/acca-advanced-audit-assurance-aaa-lectures.

    I suggest, but don’t know, that “on average” reading a chapter and watching the lecture might take an hour.

    Then you should be practicing a minimum of 8 exams’ worth of Qs & As (1 or preferable 2 of which should be sat as mocks). That would be 24 hours of attempting Qs – but you should expect to spend at least half that time again debriefing answers/reading the examiner’s reports.

    So (lecture + study kit) and 10 past papers would be sufficient to clear the exam so doing the Revision kit would not be necessary ?

    You shouldn’t do past papers published only as pdfs because they are as originally published and may not be technically up-to-date. There are 7 exams in the CBE practice platform that are up-to-date (1 x specimen exam for familiarisation, 4 x past exam and 2 x practice exams designed to be used as mocks). Any additional question practice needs to come from an Approved Content Provider’s revision kit.

    To properly attempt and study the answers/marking schemes/examiner’s reports should be sufficient preparation – whether a student then “clears” the exam on the day I cannot say (!)
