Questions
The things students ask before buying.
Are the ACCA Applied Knowledge exams hard?
The Knowledge papers are the most accessible level of ACCA - they're designed as entry-level papers with no prior accounting experience assumed. Most students find BT the easiest and FA/MA slightly more technical. With focused study, the Knowledge papers are very manageable.
Can I sit Knowledge papers on demand?
Yes - BT, FA, and MA are on-demand CBEs, available at approved centres throughout the year. There's no need to wait for an exam session. This makes the Knowledge level the most flexible part of the ACCA qualification.
What is in the Applied Knowledge pack?
All three papers - BT, FA, MA - for £149, with lifetime access to each.
What do I need before starting this level?
No prior accounting qualifications required.
Do ACCA courses include mock exams?
ACCA courses are taught courses: video lessons with an AI Tutor in every lesson. Online mock exams with marking are part of our CIMA courses.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access, on every course. There is no subscription and no renewal - if you need to resit, or come back to the material years later, it is still there.
