ACCA has released the pre-seen. Hasper World is the business you walk into on Tuesday 8 September — and the fortnight in front of you is the whole difference between knowing the case and being able to use it.
And it isn’t just the pre-seen. £99 unlocks every single thing we have for SBL, right through to exam day.
One payment. Access runs to exam day. No subscription.
ACCA released the Hasper World pre-seen on 25 August 2026. You sit SBL on Tuesday 8 September.
ACCA publishes an examiner’s report after every sitting. Read five years of them back to back and the same four failures come round every time. This pack drills against each one, on this September’s case.
Candidates answer the question they revised, not the one on the screen. Marks for a brilliant answer to a task nobody set: zero.
Exhibit text lifted straight into the answer. The marker sees the case’s own words handed back and awards nothing for them.
A list of headings with nothing underneath. Two marks needs a point and its consequence for this business.
Figures quoted but never interpreted. The KPI is not the answer — what it means for Hasper World is.
That last one is the case. A family firm losing ground while its market grows — and you have a fortnight to work out why, and what it should do about it.
Every item below was made after ACCA released Hasper World on 25 August. None of it is recycled from a previous sitting — which is why it lands in stages: some of it is live now, and more opens every day between now and the exam.
SWOT, PESTEL, Five Forces and a full stakeholder map — every single point page‑referenced back to the pre‑seen, so you can always show where it came from.
The issues most likely to matter, the question angles they invite, and the official ACCA article to read for each. Themes to understand — not predictions to memorise.
Every KPI with what it actually implies, the linkage map between them, and the accounting traps sitting in this particular case.
Requirement Decoder (15 marked drills), the 2‑Mark Sentence Machine, the Skills Phrasebank, Copy‑Paste Detox and the Model Clinic — each built from five years of examiner reports.
Every answer personally marked, with examiner‑style feedback and your professional skills marks called out explicitly. This is the part that changes your score.
Three ten‑minute marked planning drills. Because in SBL the plan is where the marks are won or lost, long before the writing starts.
The pre‑seen taken apart line by line on video, plus a 30‑minute podcast for the commute.
An interactive Pre‑Seen Explorer and a fact quiz, so you stop hunting for exhibits and start recalling them.
A do‑this‑in‑order plan that adapts to how many days you have left. Start today or start in a week — it tells you what to skip.
One page. What to do in the first five minutes, how to split the time, and what to check before you submit.
…and that is only the pre-seen half of it. Keep scrolling — the rest of SBL comes with it.
ACCA’s own advice on the pre-seen is not to memorise it — it’s to spend the fortnight practising how to apply it. That advice is literally the shape of this pack.
Hasper World, cold. The strategy, the numbers, the stakeholders, the traps — and where each one sits in the pre‑seen.
Decode requirements, write two‑mark sentences, kill copy‑paste. Drilled, not read about.
Two full mocks and three plan‑only sprints. Twelve questions, all marked, all fed back.
The Pathway tells you what to do with the days you have left. The Protocol Card tells you what to do on the morning.
A pre-seen analysis PDF can be forwarded round a WhatsApp group in ten seconds. Feedback on your writing cannot.
You write the answer. We mark it the way SBL is marked — technical marks and professional skills marks separately — and tell you the specific habit that is costing you. Then you do it again.
Tip: there’s no save‑as‑draft in the answer workspace — write in Word, then paste in.
Your £99 doesn’t just open the Hasper World material. It opens every SBL resource on aCOWtancy — the whole paper, not just the case — and it stays open until exam day.
Every guided video across the whole syllabus, the notes, the visual summaries and the recaps — with your progress tracked as you go. If a syllabus area is shaky, it’s in there.
The complete SBL revision programme, not a trimmed version of it. Exactly what you want in the last fortnight, when there is no time left for first principles.
Not only the 12 pre-seen mocks — a further 40 Ultra questions covering the rest of the SBL syllabus, and every one of those personally marked too. Real past ACCA questions, two attempts each.
The full SBL podcast library for the commute, and a tutor in chat every day between now and the exam to answer whatever the practice throws up.
That’s 52 questions you can have personally marked — the 12 pre-seen mocks plus 40 more across the syllabus. The marking doesn’t stop at the case.
Plus, until exam day:
Card or PayPal, handled by Stripe. Access follows shortly after payment — check your email. The pack opens in stages across the fortnight, so more is there each time you come back.
Two pieces of the pack that we don’t put behind anything — no sign-up, no card. Both go live before the exam.
Every SBL metric you might meet in Hasper World’s financials, in plain English, with what a mover actually signals.
Coming soon Live before the exam — no sign-up neededOne page for the morning of the exam. First five minutes, time splits, and the final check before you submit.
Coming soon Live before the exam — no sign-up neededAccess is granted to your aCOWtancy account manually, so it follows shortly after payment rather than instantly. Check your email — that’s where the confirmation lands. If you haven’t heard within a few hours, message us in chat and we’ll sort it straight away.
No, and we’d rather say so plainly. The pre-seen only came out on 25 August, and every piece of this is being built against this case — so it opens in stages across the fortnight rather than all at once.
Inside you’ll see four doors — Know the Business, Master the Technique, Rehearse and Walk In Calm. They unlock as each part is finished, and everything is in place well before exam day. The Pathway always tells you what’s ready and what to do next, so you’re never waiting around.
Inside the SBL Classroom, under the Pre-Seen tabs. It isn’t a separate product with its own login, which is why people occasionally think nothing has happened. Open SBL, look for the Pre-Seen tabs, and it’s all there.
You type your answer into the workspace and submit it. It’s marked seven days a week and guaranteed back within 48 hours, usually far sooner. You get examiner-style feedback, your professional skills marks broken out explicitly, and the model answer unlocks underneath once it’s marked. You get two attempts at every question.
One practical note: there’s no save-as-draft, and submitted answers can’t be retrieved. Write in Word, keep your copy, then paste it in.
Around midday on Monday 7 September — the day before the exam — is the last guaranteed submission. Anything after that we’ll still try, but we can’t promise it comes back in time. Plan to be finished a couple of days out.
All of it. The Pre-Seen Mastery Pack is what you’re buying, but the access that comes with it is the full SBL account until exam day: the entire Classroom, every revision course, the SBL podcast library, daily tutor support in chat, and a further 40 Ultra questions covering the rest of the syllabus — with those answers personally marked as well, not just the twelve pre-seen mocks. 52 marked questions in total, if you get through them all.
There is no cut-down tier here and nothing extra to buy on top.
Until you sit the exam. ACCA released the pre-seen on 25 August 2026 and SBL is sat on Tuesday 8 September 2026 — so this is a two-week product by design. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel.
No, and please don’t use them as if they were. The June 2026 examiner’s report specifically warned about candidates who had memorised forum “predictions” and then dumped them into tasks that asked something else — losing marks they’d otherwise have had. Our Top 10 are the themes worth understanding well enough to apply to whatever the requirement turns out to be.
No. The Pre-Seen Mastery Pack is included with Ultra for SBL — look in the SBL Classroom under the Pre-Seen tabs. This page is for people who want the pack on its own for the fortnight. If you’re not sure what you’ve got, ask us in chat before paying.
Our refund position is set out in full at acowtancy.com/legal/refunds. Read it before you pay. If you’ve bought the wrong thing, message us in chat and we’ll fix it.
Yes. aCOWtancy is an ACCA Platinum Approved Learning Partner — the highest level of ACCA approval, and the same level as the largest providers.
You get one fortnight with Hasper World before you sit SBL. Spend it rehearsing, not reading — with the whole of SBL open behind you.
