Septemer 2021 ACCA ATX(M) Exam preparation

  

What a year! It is September ACCA AAA exam cycle and you have been preparing for this exam since forever.  Some of the students had to postpone their exams in June 2021 due to the exam cancellation 


One of my students that set for remote invigilation in Johor managed to get the highest score in Malaysia for the ACCA ATX (Malaysia) paper for June 2021.

His approach was simple - follow the advice that was given and practice as much as possible the past papers; develop a strong accounting and audit sense and do the paper.

Exam advice 
  1. Aim to get 50% of the marks first out of the way by targeting what can be done
  2. Read all the examiner articles about technical matters
  3. Rest well before the exam - a tired mind is not going to help you answer the question
