“I would definitely recommend LSBF to any student who wants to study ACCA ... LSBF exceeded my expectations, I never imagined it to be like this.”
My name is Muhammed Hussain Pandor. I'm an LSBF ACCA student from Malawi, and I recently achieved something I never thought possible: a global ranking of 29th, and 1st in Malawi, for my Financial Management (FM) paper. I'm here to share my journey with you, offering insights into the strategies, mindset, and support from LSBF that made this success possible.
When I first saw the email with my results, I was in a state of shock. My first thought was to share the news with my family, who were all incredibly proud. For me, this achievement was a huge confidence boost. It has made me believe in myself more than ever before.
The Strategy Behind the Success
Achieving this phenomenal success was the result of a disciplined approach. Muhammed's key strategy was simple but effective: attending every LSBF lecture and truly connecting with his tutor’s teachings. For him, understanding his tutor’s unique techniques and insights was the most critical step, providing a proper foundation for the course material.
He also relied on a combination of resources. LSBF's class notes and the ACCA study hub were essential tools helping him strengthen his knowledge base. The constant feedback from his LSBF tutor during revision and practice sessions allowed him to learn from his mistakes in real-time and improve significantly.
"The LSBF revision sessions had a larger impact than the tuition classes themselves because practicing questions is what helps you apply knowledge in an exam-style setting."
Overcoming Challenges and a Lesson in Resilience
Muhammed’s ACCA journey hasn't been without its setbacks. He once failed an applied skills exam and was completely dejected, losing confidence in himself. However, the support from his family and his LSBF tutor was invaluable. Since then, he’s performed exceptionally well in all his subsequent exams.
This experience taught him a valuable lesson. It showed him the importance of having a strong support system and the power of resilience. He now knows that setbacks are just temporary, and with the right mindset and support, you can come back even stronger.
Why LSBF was the Right Choice
For Muhammed, choosing the right learning provider was one of the most critical decisions he made. He was drawn to LSBF because of its global reputation, professionalism, and organised approach. The sleek, eye-catching design of the website also played a part in convincing him that LSBF was the right choice. Looking back, he's incredibly grateful for that decision. LSBF has helped him progress smoothly with his ACCA career, and the student support staff and tutors have been exemplary in handling any issues he's faced. The flexibility LSBF offers has also been a major advantage, allowing him to study on his own free time without any pressure.
"LSBF exceeded my expectations, I never imagined it to be like this."
If there's one lesson he could share with every ACCA student, it would be this: don't go it alone. He wishes he had enrolled with LSBF from the very beginning of his journey.
"The answering technique taught by LSBF, especially at the skill and professional levels, is what makes the biggest difference. It's what allowed me to get the most out of my knowledge and achieve the results I did."
What's Next for a Global Champion?
Muhammed has already passed his Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) exams and is now focused on completing his ACCA exams by March 2026. The next three exams will be tough, but thanks to the foundation and confidence LSBF has given him, he feels ready to overcome any challenge. His journey with LSBF won't end there; he plans to continue with them until he completes his ACCA and will even consider pursuing a master's degree.
"I’m excited for the challenges ahead."
