    I'm going to be sitting P1 and P2 in December. I'm trying my best to be as positive as possible and focusing on getting the best results I can get with the overall aim of passing.

    Just finished an honours degree in Accounting so have gained exemptions to the professional exams. The thing is the big jump from degree to prof. is catching me out so far. I can't seem ti get my head around where to start, where to go and what is the best way to tackle these exams.

    I'm willing to put in the time and effort but am unsure as to what is the best approach to get me over the line in December.

    By the way I'm classed as full time student with lecturers on monday and tuesday. I work saturday and sunday so as to make the time available to fit in the studies.

    Any input would be appreciated,
    Col.

    I think the ACCA exams are all about exam technique, so as you're learning the topics, you need to be doing exam questions. Then compare your own answers to the sample answers

    The examiners produce reports after each sitting (available on the ACCA website). Read through the last few for each topic to get a feel for what the examiners are looking for & what they consider to be big errors.

    Mock exams are also well worth doing.

    One last thing, written theory answers are a big part of P2 -which isn't necessarily obvious when you're going to lectures or reading the notes. Ethics theory questions also appear on P2 in nearly every exam paper, so you should be focusing on maximising marks on those questions -which will tie in nicely with the Ethics part of P1
