‘How to pass ACCA SBL’ mini-course

“The main reason people fail their case study exams is not lack of theoretical knowledge, not lack of pre-seen preparation – it’s poor exam technique. People just don’t know how to write answers in a way that scores marks, how to plan to focus what they say and how to manage their time across the exam to maximise marks in each section.”

Nick Best, Astranti CEO

Typically, case studies are difficult to pass, and the ACCA SBL exam is no different. After the very first ACCA SBL pre-seen-focused exam in September 2023, subjects like time management and answer planning were among the top responses when we asked students what they wished they’d spent more time developing before their exam.

On the whole, students who fail case study exams don’t know how to:

  • Produce answers that meet the examiner’s needs
  • Play the role assigned in the exam
  • Plan effectively
  • Manage their time to create balanced answers
  • Write answers that score high marks

Having helped tens of thousands of students pass their case study exams over a period of more than 20 years, we’ve pooled together our team of experts and have produced over 10 hours of video content to show you exactly what you need to pass your ACCA SBL exam.

We’ve also written a comprehensive study guide for you to work through alongside the video series, so that you can cement your understanding and begin to apply it to your exam.

“Everything I needed was included and it helped me untangle what my priorities should be in revising, as well as teaching me the best exam techniques. Passed first time which I put down to the excellent course structure, materials, and very communicative and helpful staff.”

“I purchased the full course and it was brilliant; the preseen analysis was very useful, the exam technique was absolutely vital, and I was really grateful for the marked mocks and support from tutors…”

What our students say

Please see our testimonials page for our latest student reviews. Here are a couple of examples:

“Being a complete self-study student, SBL was the first major challenge in my overall journey. For the first time I was not able to clear SBL in June session, therefore was looking for a resource that would boost my confidence. Astranti’s timing just couldn’t be better.
