Study set up

Hi all, just wondering what people use to study. As in do most just use use pencil and paper. Or do people see it worth investing in ipads etc. Just wondering what everyone uses and if it helps. Looking at youtube I see people using macs on ultra wide screens so they can have 3 pages open at once etc. Is it worth the investment?

Please do not buy an iPad or any super expensive PC. Studying for these exams is a matter of time investment and not money 🙂 The PC I use to study is a cheap laptop that I bought 5 years ago and I never felt the need for any additional electronic devices. As beth33 said above, paper and pencil is the way I go for as well. The only time I have to use a computer is when I am doing revision and I use MS Excel to solve past exam questions (as the exams are all computer-based here in the UK). And please try to limit advice from online sources other than the official ACCA website and Opentuition, as many of them will give “obvious” tips such as “you should aim to score as many marks as possible” (I really heard someone say that as a tip). Each person has his own way of studying for these exams and that way might not be effective for you, and vice versa.
