It’s good for the first few exams, once you move to advanced level it really does lack the number of exercises and worked examples to be able to pass. Word of advice avoid acowtancy at professional level

The course is divided into multiple sections where you are progressively taken through subjects relating to the accounting paper you are studying, and each learning section is followed by a list of exercises/practice questions. The problem I had was that, unlike the way most subjects are taught - where the exercises/questions get progressively more complex as you complete the learning in each section - Acowtancy instead throws in questions/exercises with subject matter you haven't yet seen. This was incredibly confusing/frustrating and I wasted a lot of time going back over the subjects that had been taught in an attempt to find out what I had missed, only to find out that I the material I needed to be able to solve the questions had not yet been presented/taught. It felt like being taught addition only and then immediately being presented with a question on division. I contacted Acowtancy to ask if there was a better/clearer way to go through the material and was told no, just follow the sections in chronological order. When I brought up that it was very confusing to be given questions with information that hadn't been presented (ie questions at the end of section D, where the material needed to answer the question is only presented further on in section E), I was told this was the only way to teach the subject. I quit the course halfway through as it was just an exercise in frustration and I regret spending the £150. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because the weekly emails Acowtancy sends out have useful bullet point tips and they're also really fast at replying to contact emails, which is great.
