A well-structured study plan is your roadmap to success. Here’s how you can create one that keeps you consistent & stress-free:

• 1. Allocate Buffer Days in Your Schedule
• • Many students make a rigid study plan that falls apart when unexpected events occur.
  • Always include buffer days in your plan for revisions, catching up, or lighter study.

Example: If you plan to complete a chapter in 5 days, schedule 1 extra day as a buffer in case you need more time.

• 2. Mix Heavy & Light Topics: If you study tough topics back-to-back, you’ll feel drained & demotivated.
  • Balance is Key! Schedule:
    • Challenging topics (e.g., Consolidation, Taxation, Audit Risk) on high-focus days.
    • Lighter topics (e.g., Ethics, Theory-based areas) in between for mental relief.

Pro Tip: Rotate between calculative & theoretical topics to keep study sessions engaging!

• 3. Plan Weekly Revisions & Mock Tests: Revision should not be left until the last few weeks. Instead:
  • Review concepts every week: Spend one day per week revising older topics.
  • Take mock exams early: Simulate exam conditions 1 month before your ACCA exam.

Fact: Students who practice at least 3 full mock exams have a higher pass rate than those who don’t!
