ACCA study time

Gottopass

I am just starting ACCA with F7 and F8, how much study would I need to do for these in addition to going to lectures?

If you dont come from a back ground working wise in either subject then you should start studying right away to keep up with course work.

Many ppl can fall down doing audit as its more a way of thinking then learning stuff of. Hopfully you are not the latter and you will coast this one - exam technique is very important which your lecturer will point out.

I personally put a lot of work into F7, practiced questions like crazy and had no problems getting through. I basically studied from the first lecture (a few ev's a week) to make sure as to not let the course work get to far ahead of me. It is really benefical as you will be properly
prepared come the revision lectures.

hope this helps

Rule of thumb is about 2 hours for each hour of lectures, you need to divide it between reviewing what you've just covered, previewing what you're going to cover and longer term review/exam practice. At this stage it'll be hard to do exam level questions (because they normally contain a number of topics and you won't have covered much of the course) but make sure you can do any proof of concept questions, and that for F8 you are learning the check lists and mnemonics as you progress.
