Hi,
I am just wondering if it is too difficult to study the ACCA from home. And which exam is best to start with (I am exempt from F1-F3).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Roxanne
It depends on your experience/expertise.
Since you’ve enjoyed an exemption, so we can say you have a degree in accounting or a similar field. With this in mind, I can say yes, you can self-study at least some papers.
F4 is to begin with. It’s very simple and non-computational.
Regards,
Ali
Hi Roxanne,
I am in your position – I am studying from home with F1-F3 exemptions.
I have personally chosen to work through the exams in order , I sat F4 & F5 in June 11, and F6 in Dec 11, all of which I successfully passed.
I have taken F7 & F8 in June 12 and am anxiously waiting results!! If all goes well I am intenting to sit F9 in Dec 12.
Unfortunately I didnt hear about Opentuition until about a month before my first exams in 2011, but Since then I have studied using the great online lectures, study notes, and kaplan.
Working in a busy accounts practice I can safely say that up to now F6 has been my easiest subject!
F5 seems to be a tricky one – I found it difficult to study as did a lot of my friends. Luckily I passed it at the first attempt so am glad its out of the way!
I suppose like alisharifazedeh said above – it depends on your experience and expertise and whether you are in practice, management, etc .
Best of luck

Hello Roxanne
I also self study, I work in finance although it is a basic role so I’m not able to bring much from my experiance to my studies, it’s hard going, I’m not too accidemic and I have failed the odd one along the way but it doesn’t cost too much.
Hoping to pass my last sitting and move on to the final five P papers so fingers crossed for tomorrow. As for order of papers I have sat them in order finding F5 and F6 easy and struggled with F8 and F9 but we are all different.
