How difficult is the ACCA exam?

Dear, many students on the Internet have asked or want to ask such questions. I have answered them one by one. I will repeat them here. As someone who has been there, I still have something to say. The difficulty of acca gradually increases, and it becomes more difficult as you go forward, especially in the P stage, which is quite difficult. Reasons for difficulty: 1. Chinese candidates are accustomed to the thinking system of Chinese textbooks that starts with accounting entries. They usually pay attention to details in their studies, but lack a thinking habit of looking at problems from the perspective of company strategy. Moreover, Chinese textbooks are compiled in much the same way. If you look through the accounting books of the Annotation Association, the intermediate accounting books, and the accounting standards of the Ministry of Finance, you will find that the narrative patterns of these books are exactly the same, focusing on details, not paying attention to the whole, and standing at different heights. High, this is related to the positioning of accounting training in our country. 2. Most candidates lack practical experience. This may be okay for the F stage, but it will be very troublesome when it comes to the P stage. There are many people around me who are stuck in the last few doors of the P stage and can never pass, and they are very anxious. 3. The requirements for English in the P stage are much higher than those in the F stage. Both the amount of writing and reading have increased a lot, and the text in the textbooks is also a lot more obscure. So the requirements for English are very high. 4. To be honest, in recent years, some subjects in the P stage have been so abnormal that even normal people can't pass it. The current P stage is very disadvantageous to Chinese candidates. We are used to memorizing questions, and English is not ours after all. If there are many unfamiliar things in the examination room, Chinese students will basically be doomed. Therefore, I think that Chinese candidates have an advantage in the F stage, but will have a disadvantage in the P stage.

Generally speaking, I think ACCA is more difficult than CPA. For CPA, it is basically no problem for you to listen to the courseware and do the questions. Many people around me have passed CPA and passed many courses. There are many, but those who pass ACCA are very rare.
