Ways to study for ACCA exams



The method you study for your exams directly impacts your exam outcome, so selecting how to study is a significant decision.


Many learning providers offer a variety of study methods and we wish the information below will help you select the study method most appropriate for you.


Approved Learning Partners

There are lots of different ways to study for your exams - and we strongly suggest that you study through an Approved Learning Partner (ALP). ALPs are judged by ACCA, for the standard of their ACCA course management,  study support, and delivery. We constantly monitor pass rates of ACCA students studying with ALPs as this is one of the benchmarks needed to determine and maintain the level of acceptance awarded.

Our investigation shows that students who study with an ALP perform much better in the exams than those who don’t.

Approved Learning Partners - levels of approval

Platinum


This is the greatest and most prestigious level of approval, available to learning providers who teach ACCA qualifications. Platinum ALPs are needed to meet our global best practice standard relating to course management and institution, student support, and course delivery. Platinum ALPs are needed to demonstrate aspirants' pass rates, which exceed global averages for the majority of the exam they teach.


Gold


This level of acceptance is awarded to learning providers who offer tuition for either ACCA Qualification or Foundations in Accountancy suite of qualifications. Gold ALPs need to meet our global best practice benchmarks relating to course management and institution, course delivery, and student support. Following the acceptance, Gold ALPs are required to display student pass rates appropriate for this level of approval.


Silver


This level of acceptance is normally awarded to learning providers new to educating ACCA qualifications, who are working towards being accepted at the Gold level.

Before registering with any learning provider, we assured to check the range of products they offer and the terms and conditions that apply.


Face-to-face tuition


Full-time, classroom-based tuition is taken at the learning provider’s premises. Full-time tuition basically takes place during office hours, Monday to Friday, over a period of various weeks or months. For the time span of the course, you may be taught one or more of the ACCA papers, learn the curriculum, and apply the knowledge required through question practice and mastering exam techniques in preparation.


 Some of the reasons why you choose full-time study:


  • When not in full-time employment

  • To complete your ACCA exam requirement as soon as possible

  • When taking a career break

  • When wishing to focus only on your studies



Part-time, classroom-based tuition is delivered at the learning provider’s premises. The courses will usually occur in the evening or at the weekends and may last several weeks or months. Part-time courses can also be condensed into a more intensive period of many days, during weekdays or weekends. For the time span of the course, you will be taught the module for your chosen ACCA exam(s), learn the syllabus, and apply the knowledge needed through question practice and mastering exam techniques in preparation for the examination.




The Knowledge syllabus exams for the ACCA Qualification are all assessed using little questions, known as objective questions. This is to make sure that examiners are able to assess widely across their syllabuses in the time permitted. All 3 exams contain 50 questions, and the pass mark is 50%. The exams have a time limitation of two hours. This structure is the same for both computer-based exams and paper-based.

Preparing for Knowledge syllabus exams possibly demands a different strategy than that taken when preparing for exams that need longer answers. In paper-based exams, all the questions are multiple-choice and include two, three, or four-answer options. The CBEs cover the same module areas as the paper-based exams but include a wider range of questions, which are expressed later in this article. As in paper-based exams, questions can be means one or two marks.


Finominal Education is the best launchpad to gain financial expertise. Our well-versed faculties provide the CFA aspirants with a healthy and competitive environment and strive to impart knowledge to gain productive results.
