General ACCAThree Exams in One Session

Former userFormer user6y ago
Would anyone recommend taking SBR, AAA and APM in one exam session(Dec 2020), assuming one doesn't work at the time.

See what I wrote here about sitting SBR and AAA together https://opentuition.com/topic/can-i-sit-for-aaa-and-sbr-together My general advice for sitting multiple exams is as follows: Download ACCA’s “Study Support Guide” which is clearly referenced in ACCA’s resources (e.g. this link for AAA https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7/self-study-guides.html) for each of the papers you are considering. Skim reading these will give you a “flavour” of each of the exams. Use the proforma planner and topics lists provided (or you could take the contents pages of OT notes as a topics list instead) to plan how you will study two exams in 4 months - is three possible? Generally I would not recommend more than 2 in one session to any student who does not have a clear pass history of having previously sat 2 exams a session. I have sadly known too many students spread themselves too thinly attempting 3 exams in one session and marginally failing all 3. This is only my opinion - for a student response please post to ONE of the exam specific forums (I suggest AAA of APM is most likely where you will find students sitting both or this and/or SBR).

I am planning to do 3 exams in December, FR, AA and SBL. I fave finished F9 already hence SBL. is this a good combination ? Is it better to finish FR and AA and then do the professional papers ?

Hi, I would recommend taking only a maximum of two papers per sitting. SBL is a professional paper and it would be more challenging than the skilled papers. However, it would all depend on your abilities and how much time you have. You would know best. :)
