Why do I suggest to go for the highest pass rate paper to start? It is because that paper is something more students can do well or it is simply easier than others. Golden rule 1 is to start the paper with highest pass rate.
From my teaching experience, I saw a lot of students are passionate and optimistic when they start ACCA program. They are also very serious in finding reference materials, tutorial courses and study buddies. Spending more time in this paper can build a solid foundation for your future exams. Simply pass rate is higher? Well…… not exactly. Two papers are more or less the same in terms of difficulty but what I look at is how they link to other paper in Applied Skills Module.
My answer is no. I simply refer to my golden rule, start with the highest pass rate paper first. If possible, take FR and AA in the same sitting is also a wise choice because knowledge in financial reporting can be shared in your AA exam. In the past, Financial Management FM scared a lot of students for its lengthy syllabus. But in recent sitting performance, I find the pass rates and examiner comments both show more and more students can pass as students and tutors know how to do it.
To have a brief summary on the approach in Applied Skills Module, my advices are —. If you need to take MA exam and pass it, go to PM right after that and the suggested sequence is:. If you are exempted in MA exam, the following sequence is more preferable:. It is not only a requirement but also benefit for you to take Strategic Professional exams. In this module, students are from various background and it is no one rule to select papers.
For example, some students come from university accounting degrees with exemptions on all Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills Module papers, Strategic Professional paper is the first ACCA exam they take. Some students just finished Applied Skills Module papers and wonder which Strategic Professional paper to attempt. In view of this, my suggestions are divided into these two groups of students and hope you can find yourself falling into one of them. Or which is the easiest ACCA optional paper?
