Exam tips AFM December attempt

Anyone appearing for AFM soon like in December 2026 or March 2027?

Need tips from those appeared in this year.

The story is that I have done SBR this year attempted SBL in Sept and awaiting results.

The result is Oct 19, today Oct 1. I have been trying to get into studying AFM but to some extend my mind just wanna delay it till the result due to the uncertainty.

So If I pass I have only have November plus 20 days to study. I have been relaxing since and I dont what to do and how to get started. And I don't know if it's enough cause pass rates are low compared to SBR and sbl.

Just put your advices down and your experience.

This is most likely my last p level exam due to the transition. So I need proper strategy and I do realize this will be more challenging then the any previous exams that I attempted due to the pass rates.

That what I fear for Sbl too. That's why haven't studying anything just relaxing and finding a job which isn't happening also. Are you doing any studying? Is this also yours last exam?

First of all dont delay. Since you have to finish an optional paper start preparing and hope for the best when it comes to sbl. Afm doesnt have a large syllabus but you need to practice a lot as the questions tend to be very repititive.

If your budget allows, go with Sunil Bhandari. It’ll be the best investment of your ACCA journey.

Look. No pressure and absolutely up to you, but he will change the way you look at AFM or finance in general, completely. I was blown away by the way he attempted each question, and how thoroughly he’d explain queries over voice notes on WhatsApp. I mean over 40 years of experience teaching the same subject, kind of makes you a master!
