One intense week, on one page. One topic a day, taught right here — then the real past-exam question that goes with it, ready to answer and get marked on. You pick the week. Just show up seven days running.
The week follows the paper itself: cost it, decide it, budget and control it, then measure the performance. Each day: a short brief that teaches the topic, then genuine past-exam questions, to time. Pick any week before the exam — start on a Monday, or start today. Days 1 to 6 earn the marks; Day 7 is deliberately light, so if you run it as your final week it lands the day before the exam.
Draft in a doc, paste in, keep your draft. There's no save-as-draft, and you'll want your answer again on Day 6.
Next morning, read yesterday's marking before you touch today's topic. It's the cheapest teaching you'll ever get.
Each day tells you the one thing to look for in the model answer. Open it hunting, not browsing.
Day 6, 4pm: your lowest-scoring answer gets its second attempt. That resubmission arrow is the week's proudest number.

Five-ish minutes. It follows your mistakes — get one wrong and it digs deeper there — and it decides which calculation family your Day 3 question targets. Answer honestly, tag how sure you were, and it'll tell you the difference between what you don't know and what you don't know you don't know.
Six questions to start — one per Sprint topic — then it follows whatever you get wrong. Ten to fifteen questions at most.
It's in your purchase confirmation. Day 1 is open below either way.
Cost-volume-profit analysis asks one question: how far can sales move before profit disappears? The examiner's favourite version is multi-product — several models, one pot of fixed costs — and it is marked line by line: each ratio, each working, each stated decimal place is its own mark.
The spine of every answer: contribution first. C/S ratio is contribution over sales, per product. Weight it across the sales mix and you get the weighted average C/S ratio; divide fixed costs by that and you have breakeven revenue. The margin of safety is then just the gap between budgeted sales and breakeven, as a percentage of budget — and the marks for "explain the implications" are earned by saying what the cushion means: how much demand can fall before losses start, and how nervous or comfortable that should make the board.
When you reveal the model answer tomorrow, look for one thing: the workings are a tidy table — product columns, contribution row, weighting row — not a paragraph of arithmetic.

Before you submit: draft in a doc and paste it in — there's no save-as-draft, submitted answers can't be retrieved, and you'll want your first attempt beside the feedback on redo day.

Each day's brief takes ten minutes to read. The question takes the rest of the session. That ratio is the whole method — the marks are earned in the doing, not the reading.
1.8 minutes per mark. Every question above has its timer printed on it. Set it, and when it rings, stop — in the real exam the next question's first marks are the easiest ones left on the paper.
Underline the verb. "Identify and explain" pays twice — the name and the reason. "Discuss" wants developed points, not lists. And quote the scenario: generic answers score generic marks, which is to say almost none.
You cannot mark your own PM answer objectively — everyone gives themselves the benefit of the doubt. Submit each day's answer and let the feedback tell you what an examiner would actually pay for it.
The ten questions in this sprint are real past ACCA exam questions from the PM Ultra bank — 22 genuine past-exam questions, every one markable with tutor-led marking, seven days a week, back within 48 hours. Answer each day's questions and by the end of your week you'll have a folder of personal marked feedback to revise from.
Worth knowing: your access runs right up to exam day, and the last guaranteed submission is around midday on Tuesday 8 September — the day before the exam. Sprint early and you leave yourself the run-in to resubmit and improve.
