How to pass ACCA exams / ACCA exam tips - Phase 2.
In the last article, we have discussed tips for Phase 1 – Planning Phase (before starting studies). In this article, we will discuss tips for Phase 2 – Preparation Phase (during studies).
2. During studies i.e. Preparation Phase:
By the time I’m sure you will be working hard either studying by yourself or by tutor in class. This phase requires most of your time and efforts. If you have worked hard and smart in this phase, your chances for success are bright.
Cover ENTIRE syllabus – i.e. no topic spotting.
In ACCA, there are no such techniques / tips which can help you in guessing which topic / question is important for exams. If any topic / question has appeared in last session, it doesn’t mean that it will not appear in coming session. Examiner often confuse student by asking unexpected questions.
SUMMARIZE what you read in your own words. Prepare MIND MAPS (e.g. flow charts / diagrams etc.):

II. In your last week of revision you don’t need to refer back to your books, just refer those hand written notes.
After you have read the theoretical content from study text, solve PRACTICE QUESTIONS of that relevant topic immediately from revision kit.
Do at least one practice question under EXAM CONDITION i.e. as per defined / allowed time limit and format.
HIGHLIGHT such practice questions which covers most of the (important) things from the topic. You will do such question during revision, so that you can revise most of the things in lesser time.
