Approaches To Studying Towards ACCA Qualification

I believe as a student, we have a part to play if we want to excel. One cannot just expect to be spoonfed by lecturers and waits for magic to happen ie. be an ACCA Worldprize winner. Lecturers are there only to guide you. You gotta do you part as well. As the saying goes it takes two to tango.

As ACCA students who are pursuing a professional qualification, we are expected to be different from normal college students. We are pursuing a higher level studies. So think maturely. Our approches to studying should be as those of a working adult. Professional traits such as competency, skillfulness, independence, time-management, reliability should be in us. At least if we don't have them all, we should train ourselves towards professionalism. 

My approaches to learning is summarized in three stages: 

Before: 

Prepare before class starts. Scheme through past year papers or questions so that your brain is in an inquisitive mode. Have some background knowledge. If you do not prepare, you will feel blur in class and can't really relate when the lectures start. 

During:

Pay full attention. Engage with the lecturers. Ask questions. Get involved. Make full use of them. Be an active student not a passive one. Clarify to confirm your understanding. There should be interaction and communication, that how to learn. After each class you should bring home extra knowledge with you.

After: 

Revise after class, do homework, practise questions, read relevant articles. Summarize your understanding in a notes(if you want to practise your writing) or blog it (this saves paper) so that you can browse through what it wrote. That way knowledges are retained. If ever you have the chance, apply it in your workplace.

Anyway, in all you do, have passion and thirst for knowledge. That way you wont feel tired studying. Think of all the unfortunate ones who actually yearn to go to college but don't have the means to do it. That way you wont ever take your studies for granted. Have big dreams. Be ambitious. Know that knowledge is power. It will take you somewhere one day. Don't waste a single second of your college life. Embrace your education.

I wish you all the best in your undertakings.
