Management accountants manage the accounting of finance in a company, whereas chartered accountants give financial reports on a company.

What should I do if I can't study or take an exam as planned?

Sometimes delaying your studies or not being able to take an exam is unavoidable. When this happens, you need to review your plan and decide on one of two options. You could choose to take two exams in one sitting but if this feels like too much of a challenge, it may be better to spread your study plan out over a longer period. Once you’ve qualified and are reaping the rewards of your studies, a few extra months will not seem that significant.

I've just sat an exam. Should I wait for my result before starting to study for my next paper?

The simple answer here is no. There’s a six-week gap between finishing an exam and getting your result. So, whilst we would advise you to take a short break from studying in the week after you’ve finished your exam, this is valuable time you could be using to get well underway with your next paper.

What should I do if I fail?

First of all, don’t panic. It’s just one stumble in your overall journey. If you’ve already started studying for your next paper, what you do next will depend on the result you achieved. For example, If you only missed out by a few percent. We’d advise you to carry on with the new paper and plan in some extra time to revisit the paper you’ve failed. If you were more than 10% adrift on the paper you failed, put it to one side for now and focus on the new paper you’re studying for. There’s no reason why you can’t come back to it in the future. Therefore meaning you can succeed in another paper beforehand in order to build your confidence.
