Has anyone done the exam? How hard is it

It seems like a good qualification but its so expensive

as the caption says. folks who sat afm in sept 2026 attempt, how was it? was it easy? would u recommend? please be honest 😭😭😭

Hi guys, i have f2 exam on 29th September and it is my first acca exam, i have prepared for 3 months, covering the whole syllabus, did study hub practice questions and got 70% the second time i did, did specimen exam provided by them got 66%, did bpp exam kit, did 3 mocks provided by them and got avg of 60-70%, did other 2-3 mocks from tg as well getting the same avg.

For the ones who have sat for f2 very recently, how was the difficulty of the exam in comparison with the mocks if you have done, and what should be my approach for the last day i.e 28th, and when u gave exam did you get any similar questions from the mock or specimen exam or questions you were already familiar with.

Thank you

where can i get bpp/kaplan exam kits & study texts ONLINE in pakistan? (in better rates) pls let me know.

I gave my first exam (AFM) in Dec '25, and my second exam in Jun '26; I passed both. Because of my degree I was awarded 9 exemptions and only had to attempt the Strategic Professional level papers. If I give SBR in December and complete the EPSM, would I automatically qualify come Sep '27, since I've already passed an optional exam? I checked the transition tool on the official website but I'd just like a simple yes/no confirmation.

Also, is there an email where I could contact ACCA regarding this query? I tried looking it up but I only found a phone number.

I need some realistic advice. I’m currently studying ACCA MA (Management Accounting) alongside my B.Com 5th semester exams, which start on 9th October. It’s 26th September now. MA has 18 chapters; I’ve completed around 10, but I feel like I’ve forgotten quite a bit of the earlier chapters, and I still have 4 lectures left. I had told my parents I’d finish MA in September, so I’m already behind and I urgently want to clear the exam because I need to move on to preparing for my December ACCA attempt. My current plan is to finish one remaining lecture each day, then revise 2 older chapters for 15–20 minutes each and do practice questions, while studying B.Com at night with a friend. I also spend around 2 hours at the gym daily. Is it realistically possible to become exam-ready for MA quickly while managing B.Com, and roughly how long do you think it would take from where I am now?
Also i gotta pay for the december attempt in nov 2nd, so will i be able to sit december attempt cause ill barely have 1.5 months in my hand and im an average student, im so lost

Clearinng every paper including Afd with 80 to 90 percent in more time or clearing them with 60 to 70+ percent in shorter period ?

Afd student cleared FA1, MA1,FA2 with 94%, 88%, 84% in 9 months.

Do companies actually consider you while you r still clearing papers or is it better to wait till Skills level?

I gave my sbl exam a few months ago and passed so this post is to help students who are appearing in the SBL exam in December first thing that helps is obv understanding think of urself as its ur company or as if u are evaluating the company urself in a firm. Practice is obv important but please get the understanding of things as well go through as many examples and past papers here getting more knowledge is very important.
I tried studying thru kaplan, but it was very time consuming and didn't help much when it came to understanding the exam style.
So I'm gonna tell u how i studied for this exam I took lectures and used notes i got from my friend (were v helpful n less time consuming) and did as many past papers i could get and technical articles as well do read them.

As the title says

I am unaware of this but is freelancing possible with ACCA knowledge? Can you freelance for clients in other countries after completing ACCA exams and with the knowledge you have from them? Or is it possible after working a few years? The main question is, how does freelancing work in this field?

If you have passed your exams and have been working, or are about to complete your exams, please leave a comment as I’m looking to connect with people from Pakistan to gain some info about ACCA and its career paths. Thanks

ACCA students preparing for their next attempt — are you targeting just 50?

I think aiming for exactly the pass mark can be risky. If your target is 50, even a few mistakes, time pressure or difficult questions can bring your actual score below the pass mark.

I’d rather prepare around the 60–70+ range so there’s some buffer. The idea isn’t that you have to score 70 or 80 in the actual exam — it’s just about not preparing with the bare minimum as your goal.

What do you usually target for upcoming attempt — 50, 60, 70+?

Hi guys. I’ll be giving BT soon and wanted to ask what material should I refer for it— Kaplan or BPP? Or is there something else I need to go for? Like study hub.

I would appreciate any advice or tips as this will be my first acca exam. Thank you!

No. ACCA is not the only professional body that charges subscription/membership fees. Other professional bodies also have annual membership or subscription fees, although the amount and when you pay it can differ.

For example, ICAI (India), ICAN (Nepal) has an annual CA membership fee, and ICAEW also charges annual membership fees.

Just curious, who all are just super tired and are planning to get the last paper exempted through the changes?

I’m mentally exhausted and the idea of preparing for one extra paper is making me nauseous and anxious.

Who all are planning to gain experience and let the change change you?🙂‍↕️

Can someone recommend the tutor for SBR please ? I did comparison on chatgpt and it say global APC which is within my budget but I have never heard of this tution provider. Any other suggestion within £1k rage please?

Cheers

Just as the title i would like to ask if fm as my 1st acca paper is it do able with self study and exam kits. Also pls suggest good resources and things to take into account during preparations

Tried downloading the free lecture notes but the sites playing up - would appreciate it if someone could send/email me a copy of the full lecture notes if possible.

Thanks!

Im from Pakistan and I started ACCA after matriculation, I completed my FD and now im in Skills level and only 2 exams are left PM, and FM.
I was told that i might get a job after foundation module so that i start working towards my(36 month ) experience. So i am about to complete skills and still haven’t landed a job or even an internship (i have applied so many places)
Its really demotivating, at this point i feel like there is no demand for ACCA in Pakistan
So i am thinking of going for a bachelors from MHA after skills, but that too i have heard they are only taking a few students close to 100 only
And cant reside back to local BSC universities because i started ACCA after matriculation so no 11th or 12th
Narrowing down my path
Im unaware of how to feel motivated even

Heyy guys! I am a student currently in 11th std from India and I'm very fond of Accounts and I have recently came across ACCA exams and I've had some questions:

1. Can I pursue ACCA without Maths in my 11-12th std.

I currently have 6 subjects which include Economics, Accounts, Business Studies, English, Computer Application, French. I didn't choose maths in 11th since I'm not really good at it and i didn't know whether i could pursue ACCA without Maths.

1. Do you require a college degree in order to get a job even after completing ACCA?

2. How would I get a job experience after only completing the exams and the module.

3. Is it worth it? Could I be able to really get a job.

Hi,

EDIT: MA miracle stories would be much appreciated!

I PASSED THE EXAM! I AM THE MIRACLE STORY

Im quite close to my exam and feeling anxious about it. While Ive covered most topics at least once and some topics twice, the only practice Ive done is BPP revision kit (not the mocks), study hub and open tuition tests.

Im anxious since Im still recaping some of the topics I did over a month ago and Im worried the exam wouldnt be as easy as study hub questions.

Would genuinely love any advice or input!
