ACCA SBL pre-seen pack
The pre-seen is at the heart of every case study exam, and to secure a pass, you must be confident that you fully understand the company and its industry.
Why? Well, the examiner expects nothing less than your ability to put EVERYTHING you’ve learned into the context of the pre-seen scenario.
However, with only two weeks to prepare once the pre-seen is released, your time is precious!
Over the years, we’ve helped tens of thousands of students pass their case study exams, and our team of case study experts knows exactly what it takes to pass. In creating our pre-seen pack, they have put in a lot of the hard work for you, crafting a comprehensive pack that analyses the case in detail.
All in all, the pack has been designed with one thing in mind. To boost your chances of passing.
We’re keen to establish ourselves as one of the go-to ACCA SBL tuition providers, and we hope you love our material so much you won’t help but recommend our packs to others and consider upgrading to our course if you are struggling to pass and want personal support to get through this exam.
For that reason, we’re giving away the entire pre-seen-industry analysis section from our pre-seen pack, which will be free to access shortly after the pre-seen has been released!

“I passed SBL with 94% and I owe it to the Astranti pre-seen analysis and mock exams. The pre-seen analysis was a real game changer for me. Until then, I was doing past-papers but I always felt I could not get enough marks due to misunderstanding certain aspects in the scenarios. I watched the pre-seen analysis videos 3 or 4 times before the exam and thanks to Astranti I knew exactly how to interprete every little piece of info they were providing in the pre-seen. I made sure I used it all on the exam day, along with the exhibits, to answer the questions given. I’m so happy and grateful to the person who recommended Astranti to me just a couple of weeks before the exam. And of course, I am grateful to the Astranti tutors who created this amazing material and got me this unbelievable result!”

What our students say
Please see our testimonials page for our latest student reviews. Here are a couple of examples:
“Definitely recommend them for SBL (first time pass). The case was broken down in a way that helped me understand and remember. The analysis was worked on thoroughly and the team worked very hard to produce the best.”
“I want to say a big thank for pre-seen materials, I even can’t expect to pass the exam with 59 mark, it was my 3rd time, and I can say that I really struggle with fast writing, but mostly due to my English level, that I need to improve. But all pre-seen materials helped me so well that I noticed that my writing was really faster and I spent less time to think about each point. I was happy with how I did the exam and now I happy with result. Thank you for your work.“
“SBL Pre-seen pack analysis videos did help me a lot in understanding the case study and I was able to pass this exam! The analysis covered most of the theories in SBL and guidance on how to apply them on issues that may come on during the exam.
A million thanks:)“
