ACCA Exams June 2012

keano2012

Hi!

Is it possible to pass 2 ACCA exams papers in June if I start now? Which 2 out of these would be easiest?

f4- corporate and bus law
f6- taxation
f7- financial reporting
f8- audit and assurance

Is there any one of these that is seen and been tougher than the rest and are there 2 exams that are def possible to do in one exam sitting?

Any help would be great

I passed F4, F6, F8 and P2 last June.

Of those you've posted F7 is normally considered the most difficult, and there's the greatest overlap between F4 and F8.

Two exams at a sitting is very achievable.

F4 would be the easiest followed by F8, F6 is difficult but F7 is probably one of the most difficult of all the ACCA exams (IMO) given the amount of new information in it

F4 and F8 it is then! thanks for the info...much appreciated! which college did you study? is the course material that the college give you enough or is there extra stuff worth investing in?

do F6 as a June exam, so if you don't get it, it wont have changed to much if you need a repeat.

I would recommend F4 and F6 to do one theory and one numerical exam, just my preference

keano2012

will think about that too! but is f6 tough? which college did u do it in? DBS have an offer of buy 2 and get the 2nd half price! but are they any good is the question?? anyone know? I really need good lecturers!

Tbh, I wouldn't really consider anyone else other than Julie Hawkins for tax. I think she's still affiliated with DBS.

yeah Julie Hawkins is very good. Griffith have the lectures recorded which is very beneficial

How do you know Julie is very good? Based on your previous posts you're not even up to F6 level yet and you went to 'Griffith' for all your other subjects??!!?

To the OP; yes Julie Hawkins is the one to go to for F6!

is there any good websites to use for free notes etc outside of lectures? I saw opentuition.com but for f6 its just for uk notes? Looking for something irish?

I doubt you'll get any tbh. It's the start of a new tax year too. Whatever about maybe getting some online later in the year, I'd doubt very much if you'll be able to find anything now. Actually, I'd be amazed.

What about maybe signing up for a revision class? You'd get good notes then and the classes are reasonably priced.

I recommend Julie Hawkins for F6. I bought her manual and went to revisions classes (QBR highly recommended) and scored really high marks. If you want to be sure that you will pass, just go to her classes and do what she says:)

Hi

Passed F8 today - delighted.
Now I need to start thinking about June session and I am thinking of doing both F5 & F7.

I will be doing these home-study, I already have BPP F5 text from last sitting from a friend so I will be using that however I'm not sure what texts I will use for F7.

If anyone would like a study partner to catch up 2/3 evenings a week online, let me know.
I did this for F8 for Dec exams and I found it a big help, helped keep me disciplined as we had topics / questions set to have done & go through.
