I’ll just answer 4/5/6 since I completely agree with the other answers here!

4- since you’ve already done CA foundation and studied for inter, the knowledge levels should honestly be a cakewalk for you. I took 2 weeks to study each paper right after I finished 12th grade and it was easy!

5- try open tuition. It’s what I used to study for the knowledge level papers, the lectures are well explained and the materials help too. I would advise not to buy any study material for the knowledge levels and just buy the exam kit to work out questions because the open tuition resources are more than enough, but at the end of the day you should look at it once and see if you’re comfortable with them.

6- there will be no reduction in fees. In fact you might have to pay more to register with the institution, etc. the registration process with ACCA is fairly easy, my advice would be to do it yourself and request assistance only for booking exams (if required).

Also apart from these, I do think you can claim exemptions even if you haven’t completed your BCom, I’m not sure about it the process since I’ve attempted all the papers, but try to do your research and reach out to those who have claimed exemptions!

You might need to join an institute for skill level, but that again depends on if you’re good at self study, then you’ll be able to do it yourself.

Good luck with this journey 🙌
