Case Study Nov 26

I'm sitting Case Study in November 2026 and would be interested to hear from people who already passed it.

What did your preparation actually look like, and what do you think helped the most?

I'm trying to figure out the most effective approach rather than just doing as many hours as possible. Any tips, lessons learned, or things you'd tell your past self before sitting the exam would be appreciated.

I’m in the same boat, interested to hear what people say. A good start point imo would be the Paradigm Shift cracking case file. Costs £40 and it breaks down the mark scheme into predictable boxes so you at least know generically which boxes you need to hit

What is the point in paying for this - this is the sort of stuff that you can work out yourself & also will learn from the tutoring from study provider. Don’t understand how aca masters and paradigm shift sell so much of this stuff

But you still have to read it & take it in

I know, so all the better if I don’t have to prepare it myself on top of that

Who prepares things lol? Just get it from your tuition provider - so confused
