The ACCA is regarded as one of the most prestigious degrees in the world. Because it is a globally recognized credential, the tests are quite tough to pass. To ace the ACCA qualifying examinations, you must be prepared to face every challenge that may arise throughout the preparation period.

Here are some revision strategies to assist you in preparing for the ACCA exams:

REVISION ADVICE FOR THE ACCA EXAM

Plan ahead of time:

If you rely on last-minute revision, you may not have enough time to cover all of the material. The greatest strategy is to plan ahead of time and play to your strengths. Revise the things you already know; this will help you prepare for your ACCA tests. 

After you’ve finished working on your strong themes, prioritize the ones that are most important to you and move on.

Exam Methodology: 

The ACCA syllabus is extensive and well-known. If you’re cramming for a test at the last minute, focus on avoiding things you haven’t studied in the first place. While taking tests, you’ll need to use a time management plan as well. 

Don’t waste time trying to answer questions on which you do not know. Get straight to the point. Refer to past years’ question formats to familiarize yourself with the skill of answering questions succinctly. 

Past papers and example answers can be found easily on the internet. If you have enough information to pass a question, don’t waste time studying topic intricacies beyond what you need to know.

Smart Revision: 

Because you only have a limited amount of time to prepare for the ACCA examinations, you’ll need to be strategic in your approach. You must devise a strategy for maximizing the amount of knowledge you can absorb in a short amount of time. 

Self-testing is the most effective approach to revise. Self-testing approaches such as flashcards and quizzes are the most practical, especially if you only have a limited amount of time to revise. This will assist you in identifying the areas that require attention and in properly managing your time.

WHAT ARE THE WORST STUDY HABITS TO AVOID?

Every work necessitates a specific approach. You must get rid of any vices that can sabotage your attempt to become an ACCA-qualified accountant. Keep an eye out for the following bad habits to avoid:

Cramming:

Taking in a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time can lead to confusion. To be a competent ACCA-qualified accountant, you must concentrate on applied knowledge rather than packed knowledge. Make sure you devote enough time to each topic, but not so much that one issue consumes all of your time.

Inappropriate Study Setting:

Make sure you’re in a study-friendly environment so you can focus on your studies. Some people prefer to study while listening to music, while others require full silence; choose the best environment for you to study in and go with it.

Stress:

Avoid overstressing yourself while studying. The ACCA course is widely available, and passing the tests requires a significant amount of effort. You must participate in social activities to cope with the stress that comes with the ACCA course.

The difficulty level of the ACCA qualification is proportionate to its global reputation. Join ACCA at NCA College of Management!
