What’s the trick to passing the ACCA?

The difficulty with the ACCA is that there is no trick. There’s no clever workaround.

The major thing, which isn’t a clever shortcut at all, is planning. There’s no way around this. You need to plan, practice, and put in a lot of hard work.

To pass the ACCA, you can’t just go and sit an exam after studying for three weeks and pass. Maybe you get lucky, once, but that’s not a strategy. Mostly, that’s just not going to work.

So you need to plan ahead. We recommend you spend about 12 weeks studying for every subject you’re taking. And yes. That does mean, that when you finish one set of exams, you only get a few days off before starting your next session.

But that’s the best way of doing it.
