General ACCAWorking plus studying
Start working asap if you can. In order to get the full qualification you need 3 years work experience. The sooner you start the sooner you receive your certificate!
Also, you may find that the work you do gains you valuable insight and actually helps you with your exams. For example working in practice helped me with my P2 exam and is helping me with P7.
Thats also a good advice but considering the pressure of p papers and work(balancing) is also an issue i guess!
I work full time and have done 2 exams every June and December for the last 2 years, passed every exam on first attempt, including P1-P3. Now have 2 exams left to attempt.
I also manage to maintain a reasonable social life (theatre/cinema, gym, seeing friends) and also spend a lot of quality time with my partner. This is on top of going to college 2 nights a week for my ACCA classes.
It's more than possible to work, study and have a social life, although I understand it's much more difficult if you have children.
Good luck!
