For students who are new to ACCA, they must have heard of the difficulty of ACCA P stage. Take two courses where SBR and SBL advantages are more important in the P stage. So what is the difference between these two courses? Which one should I take first? The editor will take you to take a look. What is the difference between
SBR and SBL? How should I prepare?
1. What is the difference between SBR and SBL?
SBL and SBR are two very important core courses in ACCA in the professional skills stage. SBL was predecessored by two courses, P1 and P3. The full name is Strategic Business Leader, the Chinese name is Strategic Business Leader; while SBR is Strategic Business Reporting, the Chinese name is Strategic Business Reporting. In terms of course content, the SBL test paper is only for one case. It not only provides a detailed introduction to a single company, but also provides six forms. Some describe the current status of the company's business, some involve internal meeting minutes, and some also provide financial data for strategy selection, etc. SBR is different from SBL for a single company. Its comprehensive test is relatively higher. SBR requires students to thoroughly understand and flexibly apply the criteria. Students must think carefully and be clear in order to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the cases. The examiner strives to examine students' deep understanding of the connotation of the IFRS/IAS criteria from the perspective of principle interpretation and theoretical analysis.
2. How to prepare for these two exams?
1. Preparation for the exam SBL-the most critical question review
Remember to prepare for the exam SBL, don’t rush to start writing. First, you must figure out the specific meaning of the core vocabulary in the question, and then sort out all the core vocabulary.
2. Preparation for the exam SBL-Case Split
First, you must summarize the keywords contained in the question, and then consider the question stem and meaning in the case based on the keywords. The most taboo part is arbitrary. Like other reading comprehensions, cases and questions must be refined. It seems very difficult, but if you can spend a lot of time practicing before the exam, you can still succeed in one blow.
3. Preparing for the exam SBL-Collection of the knowledge structure and ideas
In the last ten minutes, write down your answer ideas in the blank space of each question. This can greatly improve your accuracy in your questions and prepare for future reviews!
4. Preparing for SBR-theoretical writing ability must be improved
ACCA SBR exam, only about 12% of the questions involved calculations, and the rest are all the explanation and explanation parts of the theory. This requires that our theoretical writing ability be particularly strong in order to pass the SBR in one fell swoop. This has certain requirements for the candidates' English level, but it will not be a big problem through daily study.
5. Preparing for SBR - Clear logic
Because SBR is a very comprehensive subject, students are required to thoroughly understand and flexibly apply the guidelines. Students must think carefully and be organized to analyze them deeply!
and above are the differences and relevant examination techniques collected and compiled by the editor. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Although SBR and SBL are both very difficult, don’t be afraid, as long as you have a reasonable study plan and keep practicing questions and summarizing them up. It's not difficult to live once.
