ACCA and CIMA Students: ???? Start the New Year Strong with Resolutions You Can Act On Today!

Ready to make 2025 your most productive year yet? ??

Forget vague resolutions that don’t stick—this year, let’s focus on practical, actionable habits to level up your studies and career. Whether you're aiming to smash your CIMA or ACCA exams or build a standout skillset, these resolutions are designed to make real, lasting changes.

1. "I’ll set clear goals and break them down into manageable steps."

?? How to do it: Swap vague resolutions like "pass my exams" for something actionable, such as "complete one mock exam per month" or "spend 30 minutes daily reviewing key concepts." Clear goals lead to clear wins.

1. "I’ll create and stick to a weekly study schedule."

?? How to do it: Time management is a game-changer. Plan your study hours around work and life commitments using tools like Google Calendar or a dedicated study planner. Consistency is key—small, regular efforts add up to big results.

1. "I’ll study smarter, not harder, using apps and online resources."

?? How to do it: Leverage apps like Anki, Quizlet, or Evernote for quick reviews. And don’t forget platforms like Practice Tests Academy, where smart study meets success. When you work smarter, passing becomes inevitable.

1. "I’ll prioritise exercise and relaxation to stay sharp."

?? How to do it: Your brain is only as good as your body feels. Beat stress with regular breaks, proper sleep, and a bit of movement—be it a 10-minute walk or a quick workout. A healthy mind and body go hand in hand.

1. "I’ll hone skills like communication, leadership, and problem-solving."

?? How to do it: These soft skills aren’t just for the boardroom—they’ll also help you nail case studies and professional exams. Try practising mock presentations or explaining concepts to peers. Confidence starts small.

1. "I’ll keep up with key accountancy trends like AI, ESG, and tax changes."

?? How to do it: The profession is evolving rapidly, and staying informed gives you an edge. Follow blogs, subscribe to industry newsletters, or listen to short podcasts during your commute. Knowledge is power.

1. "I’ll invest in building my professional network."

?? How to do it: Networking isn’t just for career progression—it’s a treasure trove of study tips and industry insights. Join LinkedIn groups, follow thought leaders, or contribute to online forums. Every connection counts.

Start the year strong, stay consistent, and watch your progress snowball into success. 2025 is yours for the taking!
