Question regarding ACCA exams.

Wacker The Attacker

I undertook a professional certificate in accountancy with the open university.

My last exam will be on the 18 march at which point I intend to undertake the ACCA exams.

I will only have three exemptions and was wondering how many ACCA exams it would be prudent to take at any one time?

It really depends on the individual. I did 2 exams each sitting in the last 3 years while also working full time and found them quite doable even though challenging. By combining a theory dense exam and a calculation dense one, you can easily pass two of them at the same time. Having said that, it requires a lot of work and as the level goes up, it gets tougher. I did my last exam P6 alone and I still failed it.

I would agree with the gigglemuch 2 exams per sitting is usually enough, you should make contact with ACCA to clarify your exemptions and have all the paper work ready to go so that you can start to study as soon as your exam results come out.
Good luck
