    I am self studying as well. I enrolled in FIA last year October and I completed FA1, FA2 and my MA1 exam is this Friday. I use BPP Text books and Revision Kits. I’m hoping to do my MA2 exam in June and do two of the applied knowledge courses before end of year, probably FBT and FMA(exempts for BT and MA). What works for me is planning my week and days. I do 2 hrs of studying Mon-Fri and at least 8 hours on weekends(4 a day). I know as the courses get harder I won’t be able to do as much exams a year but I’ll scale back when necessary.

    Thank you for this great video. I would like to know more on the exam structure part. Let's say a person is doing 4 modules per year on the pro level. Does it mean they are going to write 1 exam of any of the 4 modules in every quarter of the year then finish or it's exams every quarter on all modules until the last exams at year end? I hope you understand my question. And also what is the pass mark for professional level(mark needed to pass)? The average and the pass mark of each module.

    Hi Andrea, thanks for watching. Well done on starting your ACCA journey. Now you can take tuition if you have it available. Just ensure the provider is ACCA approved or the material you’re using is. Self study can be an option if funding is an issue or after you’ve done a few papers and you feel you can give it a go yourself. It’s down to your preference. Point is to get your qualification 😉
