The course
Three stages, seven papers, one qualification
Foundation in Accountancy for ACCA takes you from your very first journal entry to a Diploma in Accounting and Business — and then straight into the main ACCA Qualification. Every exam is an on-demand computer-based exam of 50 objective test questions in 120 minutes, with a 50% pass mark. Here's how the ladder works.
Stage 2 · FA2 · MA2
Intermediate Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting
Maintaining financial records to trial balance and managing costs, cash and short-term finance.
Stage 3 · BT · FMA · FFA
Diploma in Accounting and Business
Business and technology, management accounting and financial accounting — the level that maps onto ACCA Applied Knowledge.

- 06
Sit the real exam at 90%
When your readiness score clears 90%, you've already proven you can pass — book the exam with confidence.
Find and fix weak areas
Your marks tell us exactly which chapters to send you back to
Students rarely fail a whole paper — they fail three or four syllabus areas. After every mock exam and practice set you get a breakdown by syllabus area, and the weak ones are turned into work you can actually do.
Weak area detected
Accuracy drops in, say, 'Control accounts and reconciliations' — it's flagged the moment the attempt is marked.
Revision rebuilt around it
That chapter's flashcards resurface more often, and practice sets pull more questions from it.
Tutor explains it again, differently
Ask the AI for a second explanation with a worked example, right from the review screen.
Retest until it's green
Fresh questions each time, so you're proving understanding rather than remembering answers.
Don't book the exam on a feeling. Book it on a number.
Your readiness score per subject moves as you study. Below 60% you're still learning. Above 90% you have already passed this exam several times over — in practice conditions.
45%Still learning
Chapters unread, flashcards new, no full mock sat yet. Keep going — the tutor and library are your home for now.
72%Getting there
Most chapters covered, mocks around the pass mark. Two or three syllabus areas are holding you back — go fix those.
93%Exam ready
Full coverage, strong flashcard mastery, repeated mock passes well above 50%. Book the exam.
Built around exam day, not just study time
Every part of the platform points toward one outcome — walking into your FIA computer-based exam having already sat something that looks and feels exactly like it.
Built for the real FIA CBE
Mock exams reproduce the on-demand computer-based exam: 50 objective-test questions in 120 minutes, MCQ, multiple response and number entry, marked against the 50% pass mark.
A tutor for every question

Why students pass first time here
No wasted study time
You never re-read chapters you already know. Time goes where the data says marks are being lost.
Zero format shock
You've already clicked through 50-question, 120-minute CBE papers before the real one.
Grounded in your study text
Answers, cards and questions come from the FIA material in your library, not invented content.
Proof, not optimism
Repeated mock passes above the 50% mark, tracked over time, are what push readiness past 90%.
The mock exams felt exactly like the real thing — by the time I sat FFA, the format wasn't a surprise, just the questions.

- Which subjects does this website support?
- All seven: FA1 Recording Financial Transactions, FA2 Maintaining Financial Records, MA1 Management Information, MA2 Managing Costs and Finance, BT Business and Technology, FMA Management Accounting and FFA Financial Accounting.
- What do the exams look like?
- Foundation in Accountancy exams are on-demand computer-based exams: 50 objective test questions in 120 minutes, with a 50% pass mark. Every mock exam here is built to that same specification.
- How is my readiness score calculated?
- It combines flashcard mastery, question bank accuracy and mock exam performance per subject, weighted by how much of the syllabus you've actually covered — so it can't be inflated by drilling one easy chapter.
