Happy International Self-Care Day!💚

When you're preparing for exams, it's easy to think every spare minute should be spent revising. But looking after yourself is just as important as learning the content.

Our study survival kit includes:
💧 A water bottle to stay hydrated
🍎 A healthy snack to keep your energy up
✏️ Highlighters and pens for key revision points
🎧 Headphones to help you focus
👟 Trainers for a walk and some fresh air
📒 A notebook for ideas, reminders and practice questions
⏸️ And one simple reminder: Take a break.

Stepping away from your desk, getting outside or taking a few minutes to recharge can make all the difference when you come back to your studies.

This International Self-Care Day, remember that exam success isn't just about how hard you study; it's about looking after yourself along the way too.

Whether you've passed or fallen short, one of the most valuable things you can do after receiving your ACCA results is to spend time reading the examiner's report.📑

These reports provide insight into where students performed well, where common mistakes were made, and what examiners were really looking for. They're an opportunity to reflect on your performance, strengthen your approach, and build confidence for future exams.

In our FI Hub blog, ACCA tutor Emily Haigh shares five practical ways to make the most of examiner reports and use them to support your ongoing development as an ACCA student.💡
