Desperate for Help I amStruggling with ACA Exams, Risking Job and Visa

Hi everyone,

I’m in a tough spot and really need some advice. I’m currently pursuing ACA while on a study work visa. Balancing work and studies has been incredibly challenging, and I’m barely holding on.

I recently passed my double-entry exam, but it was my third attempt, and honestly, it felt like sheer luck. I had to guess a lot of answers, and even now, I don’t feel confident about it. I need to pass four more exams by May, but I’m struggling to figure out how to make this work.

It’s not like I’m not trying – I’ve been studying, but it feels like I’m just forgetting everything and can't create logic. I’ve always been an average student, and while I can remember things, I struggle to apply concepts if they’re presented in a new or different way. For example, if I’ve practiced a specific type of question, I can solve it, but if the question changes even slightly, I’m lost.

I feel like a failure, and the pressure is overwhelming because if I don’t pass these exams, I’ll lose my job and have to return to my home country.

Are there any tutors, resources, or strategies that could help someone like me? I’m open to any advice, whether it’s study techniques, time management tips, or recommendations for someone who could guide me through this.

Thank you in advance – any help would mean the world to me right now.
