Congrats. I started Acca an self studied for my first paper (F2) because just had my first baby an can’t afford tuition and I failed. So now I’m discouraged an can’t afford to move forward but I’m happy for you.

[@bunniesowoyale1503]

Hello Afro Girl, Congratulations for the successful completion of your ACCA exams. Please is possible for you to sell me all study packs? I will be glad to buy them for my own exam preparation.

Hi Mutale, that day will come and you’ll be grateful you took a chance on yourself. All the best 🤗

I self study as well but what I do is I do not waste time reading text books. I listen to online lectures and make my own notes and then practice

Thanks sis....I am also doing self studies.....I already book my Fa1 exam en working hard on MA1.... Ur words really make mi to believe more that I can do it.

[@afrogirldiaries]

Well done. You can do it !!

[@gauthapandith]

If you did it via 100% self-study, that is really good. Actually that is the way to do ACCA.

[@olaoluolusegun2851]

Nice video. Please where and how can I buy used study packs in the UK?

[@AyeshaK]

I am self studying as well. I enrolled in FIA last year October and I completed FA1, FA2 and my MA1 exam is this Friday. I use BPP Text books and Revision Kits. I’m hoping to do my MA2 exam in June and do two of the applied knowledge courses before end of year, probably FBT and FMA(exempts for BT and MA). What works for me is planning my week and days. I do 2 hrs of studying Mon-Fri and at least 8 hours on weekends(4 a day). I know as the courses get harder I won’t be able to do as much exams a year but I’ll scale back when necessary.

[@afrogirldiaries]

All the best Ayesha :)

[@hazelll_i6231]

How is your journey so far did you pass all of themm ? Im just starting mine so wanted to ask for guidance

[@nush_vaz]

Congratulations!!!! So excited for your journey ahead. What would you prescribe if you have less time to prepare for an exam and what would be key to clearing a paper ?

[@afrogirldiaries]

Thanks Nush. Look out for my next Q&A where I will address your question 🤗

[@igabebelise1109]

You're my motivator

Honoured to be 🙂 Wishing you all the best in your journey

[@kosarachiofoegbu9982]

Hello Goodday I’m would like to just begin my Acca journey. Currently an accounting student in my 3rd year but please ma’am I need advice if I should start as an in school or wait till I finish my undergrad.

[@lwandilentaphane5719]

Thank you for this great video. I would like to know more on the exam structure part. Let's say a person is doing 4 modules per year on the pro level. Does it mean they are going to write 1 exam of any of the 4 modules in every quarter of the year then finish or it's exams every quarter on all modules until the last exams at year end? I hope you understand my question. And also what is the pass mark for professional level(mark needed to pass)? The average and the pass mark of each module.

[@Cyn_thia60]

Doing f4 global now :-)

[@MinhNguyen-jw3ln]

Belinda, if I may ask, out of curiosity, why did you choose ACCA over ACA?

[@johnssinabulya3119]

I have no postal address as yet... What can I file on my dd_mandate annual subscription form? Can I leave it filled blank?

[@ladymallowyt]

I'm wondering whether it's worth signing up with a learning provider. The fees from these providers are high and I'll have to pay out of my own pocket. But many people recommend signing up with a learning provider 🤔 There's so many resources out there for self study, I'm gonna look at it as an option

[@damalilewis4181]

Thank u for the motivation ...I have a fear that some employers may ask how long I took tho 😬 Took a very long, REGRETTABLE break.

[@afrogirldiaries]

Hey Damali, don’t worry. When it comes to qualifications employers are less bothered about how long it took you and more about you actually obtaining it

[@marie-rogerfredericballael7045]

please why study test did you use ?

[@user-ub6jw1ny2h]

Wanna do self study too... How long did u take to be done??

[@trulygrace2555]

Good news from you indeed. How long did it take you to finish the 13 papers? Also, are you able to suggest the best calculator for ACCA exams for me?

[@afrogirldiaries]

Hi Grace, it took me about 5 years. A normal calculator will suffice as ACCA as most you will use the calculator for is normal math (addition, subtraction, multiplication etc)

[@maazafridi7379]

Hi girl I’m same as you working 9-5 job just applied for ACCA and got exemptions and have to answer just 9 now but I will be taking tuitions but you think it’s worth taking tuitions ? Your videos play a major role you motivate me x

[@afrogirldiaries]

Hi Andrea, thanks for watching. Well done on starting your ACCA journey. Now you can take tuition if you have it available. Just ensure the provider is ACCA approved or the material you’re using is. Self study can be an option if funding is an issue or after you’ve done a few papers and you feel you can give it a go yourself. It’s down to your preference. Point is to get your qualification 😉

[@okehoge1073]

Please what other sites can I order the study kit asides amazon

[@afrogirldiaries]

Hi Okeh, unfortunately this is dependent on country. You'll have to find out the local distributors for Kaplan/BPP books. Or get their online subscriptions. Requirement is as long as the tuition vendors are ACCA approved

[@darlingtondlipenga8145]

Just registered exempted 4 subjects. 9 subjects to go. Applied stage 5 subjects including tax
