Most success stories look impressive at the finish line, but they usually begin with a small, uncertain first step. For Mufaddal I. Bohara, that step happened during school in Kuwait when he joined ACCA classes out of simple curiosity, never imagining it would one day lead him to become a Kuwait Country Topper in Financial Management.
In this interview, he shares how he balanced college with ACCA, overcame real preparation challenges, and used structured guidance from QuintEdge to stay consistent.
More importantly, he breaks down the exact system and study approach that helped him turn effort into results so others can follow a similar path.
Tell us about your background and how your ACCA journey is going.
I was born and brought up in Kuwait and completed my schooling there. My school offered ACCA classes along with grades 11 and 12, which is where my ACCA journey actually began. At that time I joined mostly out of curiosity, but once I started understanding the subjects, I realized how practical and career-oriented they were, and that’s when I knew I wanted to continue on this path seriously.
Right now I’m in Pune pursuing B.Com from Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce while continuing my ACCA preparation alongside college. As the subjects became more advanced, I wanted structured guidance and clearer direction, which is when I started preparing with QuintEdge, and that support has really helped me become a rank holder.
What made you decide to pursue ACCA?
When I explored more about ACCA online, I understood its global value and how strongly it builds real finance and accounting skills. It showed me how this qualification can help build a stable career not just in the UAE but across major finance hubs worldwide, giving you the flexibility to work internationally and grow as a global professional.
That clarity made me realize this was not just another course but a long-term career direction, so since I had already started early in school, I decided to continue and give it my full focus rather than switch paths later.
What specific preparation challenges did you face while studying for ACCA papers?
My biggest challenge was managing two ACCA papers simultaneously while also keeping up with college studies. It wasn’t just about general time management. The real difficulty was switching between subjects without mixing concepts, finding focused study hours during packed college days, and staying consistent even when I had to revise the same topics again and again.
More than the syllabus itself, maintaining momentum during those phases was the real test, and having structured guidance and clarity in preparation, especially through the support I received during my learning phase, really helped me stay on track.
How did QuintEdge’s coaching support your preparation and help you improve your performance?
One of the biggest advantages for me was the clarity I got during preparation. The notes were structured in a way that made revision much faster and more effective, which really mattered when managing multiple papers. Instead of spending time organizing material, I could directly focus on understanding concepts and practicing questions.
Another thing that genuinely stood out was Krupang Sir’s teaching style. He explains concepts in a very simple and logical way, so even difficult topics start to make sense. Because of that, I spent less time feeling confused and more time practicing.
That combination of clear guidance and strong material made a real difference in my results.
Can you share a practical ACCA study strategy that students can realistically follow?
Yes. My approach was simple but very structured. Anyone can follow it if they stay consistent.
Phase 1. Concept Building
I read every chapter three to four times until it felt natural. I never rushed through topics because strong basics make everything easier later.
Phase 2. Practice Integration
Right after finishing a chapter, I solved questions from practice kits. I used both BPP and Kaplan because different question styles prepare you better for the exam.
Phase 3. Weekly Reinforcement
Every week I revisited weak topics and redid questions I got wrong. This helped me understand my mistakes instead of repeating them.
Phase 4. Final Revision Strategy
In the last phase I only revised and practiced. No new topics. I focused on accuracy, speed, and confidence.
The key was not a shortcut or trick. The real difference came from repetition, consistency, and sticking to the plan.
What result did this preparation approach lead to?
I secured Kuwait Country Topper in both Financial Management and Performance Management. That result meant a lot to me because it showed that a disciplined system really works, even when you are balancing college and professional exams together.
What advice would you give to students who are starting their ACCA journey today?
Stay consistent with your studies. You do not need complicated strategies or shortcuts. If you study regularly, revise properly, and practice enough questions, you will score well. Consistency is what actually creates results.
We’re incredibly proud of Mufaddal’s achievement and the discipline he showed throughout his journey. His success is a reminder to every student that with the right guidance, consistency, and belief, exceptional results are always within reach.
