Hi Anastasia – it sounds like you need to take on a distance learning package to get the best support. It can be difficult to structure your studying with only text books and by yourself. Find the post on the site about distance learning courses to get some more advice on this.

Hi Habib – please go to the ACCA home page at http://www.accaglobal.com to find out about learning options.

I am happy to associate with pass1sttime.com. I have just completed my ACA (Nigeria) and i passed each of the three professional stages at first attempt (1st time as you call it). These stages take other accountancy students between 6 and 8 diets to complete but i completed them in 3 straight diets. I also just completed the fundamental stage of the ACCA, which i did simultaneously with my ACA. So, its really true and possible to do what you did. I congratulate you and encourage you to do more to share your experience with other accountancy students worldwide.

HI Chancy,

You’re not the only one! I once went into a university exam “knowing” everything and then got an “E” in the exam! Why? Because I hadn’t done any practice questions.

The difference between knowing the material and being able to get good marks is practice questions. This means short example questions, mock exams, and most importantly past exam papers. By doing these you are able to set your brain to almost “automatically” go into question answering as soon as you see the exam question.

It’s hard work doing past papers, I know, but it’s the best way.

Plus remember – you don’t have to write down EVERYTHING you know – write down what is relevant to the question, and also the points that score high marks. i.e. for longer questions more advice and evaluation in your answers, than just showing your knowledge.

Ali – Thanks for your comment and advice too! It’s always good to hear and share what works for other students!

I also face the same problem. After the long duty hour it is very difficult to study. Now, the proper way is to time management and opportunity usage.

Time Management means give less time to odd works after coming home. TV little but, not too much..Same for chatting and other thing. You know sacrifice to get something. And most important proper sleeping. Because, proper sleeping can make your working our perfect and worthy….

Second thing is Opportunity Usage as Soul Discussed. Try to keep passcard with you. Or try to keep soft copy of any material with you. You can get legal soft material from Opentuition.com and theexpgrup.com Use you small time in lunch time, free office time and traveling…..

I really love this article. Thanks Soul…

its a good tip coz if we set that we r going to achieve 50% then either we fail or pass by margin. So we have to go for the maximum say 70% then we are confirm of getting above 50 %.
Thanks

Hi Faithlyn,

To be perfectly honest I don’t have an answer to that one. I’ve never been in that situation so I don’t know what it’s like for you.

The only thing I can suggest is to not take too many exams on at once, and focus your time as much as possible – if you have a quiet moment really concentrate your mind for that time on studying. If you’re travelling can you read your books at that time? Or even if you have 30mins use it well. I hope that helps!
