We are now entering the last five sittings of the current ACCA syllabus exams. There are only positives to be gained for the ACCA students in this period.
This is the time I would recommend ACCA students to ideally qualify or at least complete as many papers as possible.
Why would I say this?
Well, I have lived (‘lived’ being a key word given recent events) through so many exam syllabus/format changes over the last 39 years. The same pattern happens each time. I see no reason why this will not happen again now.
Firstly, we are all familiar with the current exams. There are plenty of past exam questions available to use. That makes preparation easier for sure.
Secondly, the examiners are unlikely to make any changes to a syllabus that is in its last embers. It makes sense to keep the status quo.
Thirdly, there may well be the ‘churning’ of past exam questions. They will not be a ditto copy of what is in your exam kits, but similar. I have seen this already to some extent with my exam ACCA AFM.
I am not saying the exams will be easy or easier.
But if history repeats itself, there are factors surely in your favour.
