Now that you have chosen ACCA, calm down, stick to it and go all out. Make a review plan and a timetable. For working students, time is a short board. They work 8 hours or more every day, and their rest time includes eating, sleeping and spending time with their families, leaving even less time for themselves. As Lei Youqin said, time can be squeezed out. You can watch it for one hour before going to bed, one hour in the morning, or one hour in the office in advance and six hours on weekends, which can ensure sufficient review time and balance work, life and study. The timing of the test center is also very important. Hu Yanhua said that the time should be arranged according to the score of the topic. If it is a 25-point topic, it will take 25x 1.8 minutes. Don't spend too much time on one topic, so as not to affect the time to do the next one.
Two: effective use of free network resources
As the saying goes: know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle. Before reviewing ACCA, you should first understand the exam structure, the question-setting mode and how the examiner tested you. In ACCA official website, there are related free examination resources under each examination subject, such as examination outline and study guide, passing examination papers, examiner's report, examiner's guidance, technical articles, passing rate and so on. Recently, ACCA also launched a brand-new "Student Planner" application, through which students who use iPhone can access vast amounts of information and arrange their studies in an orderly manner.
Three: Do the problem while reading.
Cai, director of education affairs in ACCA China, said that there is no shortcut to the ACCA exam. You must read books and do a lot of exercises. When reading a book, take notes and underline the main points of the exam. Hu Yanhua, who won the first prize in ACCA for many times, said that she would read the whole book like a novel first, know what it was about, then do exercises, correct the answers and read the book again. After reading this time, she will summarize chapter by chapter and think about which topics will be tested frequently, so that there will be no blind spots in knowledge. For example, F7 (financial report) usually has only five questions: the first question must be consolidated statements, do more exercises and get familiar with it, and you will get 25 points for this question; The second question is financial statements, the basic application of test standards, and it is also 25 points; The third problem is cash flow; Cash flow; The fourth problem is ratio analysis; The fifth issue is the application of other standards. The routine of doing the problem is the same, and the key is the proficiency of doing the problem.
Four: extensive reading, pay attention to the business environment
ACCA's knowledge is closely related to the current economic and commercial environment and practical work. The knowledge in books can be directly transferred to practical work, and the focus of assessment is how to use knowledge to analyze actual cases. Therefore, in addition to the contents mentioned in ACCA textbooks, we should read more English business articles, which is especially important for professional examinations. Lei Youqin said that most of the whole professional stage is discussion, and only a small part is calculation. The advantage of China students lies in calculation, while English writing is a shortcoming. Therefore, in order to make up for this shortcoming, we should read a lot of economic English papers and business magazines, pay attention to the changes in the surrounding business environment, let ourselves have ideas when taking exams, and exercise our writing ability and speed when reviewing at ordinary times.
