How Every IFRS Standard Is Studied Twice (Without Burnout)

Preparing for the ACCA Diploma in IFRS (DipIFR) can feel overwhelming. The syllabus is wide, the standards are detailed, and many students struggle with when to revise what they have already studied.

At Eduyush, we solve this problem using the Moon Learning Calendar . This natural, stress-free study framework ensures every IFRS standard is learned once and revised again, automatically, before the exam.

This blog explains how Moon Learning works, why it improves memory, and how all DipIFR standards are aligned to two moon cycles between January and May 2026 for the June 5, 2026 exam.

What Is Moon Learning?

The Moon Learning Calendar aligns your study plan with the moon’s natural 4-week cycle:

• 🌑 New Moon – planning and starting new topics
• 🌓 Waxing Moon – active learning and practice
• 🌕 Full Moon – testing and mock exams
• 🌗 Waning Moon – revision, reflection, and rest

Instead of forcing continuous study, Moon Learning builds in Revision naturally, which is precisely how the brain retains technical standards like IFRS.

What “Second Reading” Actually Means (Important)

Students often ask:

“Do I reread the whole standard?”

The answer is no.

Second reading means:

• ✔ Definitions
• ✔ Recognition rules
• ✔ Measurement principles
• ✔ Disclosure headlines
• ✔ One past exam question

⏱️ Time required: 60–90 minutes per standard

This keeps Revision effective, not exhausting.

Why This Works

Human learning thrives with repetition spaced over time — this is precisely what the moon phases help you plan naturally

How Students Should Use This

✔ When a standard first appears in the plan, it’s for deep learning
✔ When it comes up again, that’s the strategic review phase
✔ Put mocks + past questions in Full Moon weeks
✔ Use waxing for application + waning for reflection

Common Questions Made Simple

Q: Why use moon phases for studying? A: The moon gives us a natural 4-week cycle that matches how our brain learns best - with periods of focus and rest.

Q: What if I miss a day? A: Don't worry! Just continue with the current phase. The calendar is flexible and adjusts to your schedule.

Q: Is this scientifically proven? A: While moon-based studying is new, the methods it uses (spaced repetition, regular breaks, goal setting) are proven to work.

Q: Can I use this for other ACCA papers? A: Yes! This method works for any subject that needs deep learning and regular practice.

Q: What if my energy doesn't match the moon phase? A: Listen to your body first. If you're tired during a "learning" phase, take a break. Your health comes first.
