Sorry what I meant was, is the resources provided by your website enough to achieve high grades on the F4-9 exams, i.e. over 75% or would you suggest I purchase other reading material?
Thanks
you definitely need up to date revision kit,
get the notes and watch the lectures for few topics and then see, if you understand it well enough to do past questions..
then you will get your answer ;)
GOOD LUCK
Firstly I would like to thank you for all course notes and lectures that you provide on your website, I have passed F1, F2 and F3 exams entirely on your resources.
I am enrolling on the Oxford Brookes degree course and would like to achieve high grades on each F exam. Can you please confirm whether I need pay for BPP books for extra support or does your material cover everything and is up-to-date?
Thank you for your help.
Dean
I'm afraid, we do not provide materials for Oxford Brookes :(

Thanks to OT ;)
congratulations and good luck in June!
i gave four fundamentals F4,6,8 and 9 and i passed them all. But i had to go thru a lot of though time even being a full time student.
my advice, if u are confident and can study more than 12 hours in last one and half month..GO FOR IT !!!
P3, P4 and P5 would be ok as they are all based more on the consultancy / management accountancy side of the fence with enough cominality to make them a good single sitting combination.
P7 is best sat with P2 as P7 expects all of the knowledge required for P2 plus the addition of audit standards and ethics.
Trust me. P7 is a huge undertaking and it's one where many come away from it after writing huge amounts with a feeling as though they've passed only for a fail to hit their inboxes a couple of months later (been there, done that, got the T shirt, writing the book).
HTH,
Shaun.

P.S. Sorry everyone, new to the forum and hit the wrong reply button so my first attempt at a reply ended up as a main post rather than a reply. Sorry...
Hello again. Unfortunately none of the options at this level are easy but P5 will fit much easier with your self study than P7 if it is being taken with P3 and P4.
You will note that elements swap and change in the syllabus between P3 and P5 showing how close those two are.
As mentioned Above. For P7 you really need to be sitting it either with P2, or shortly after passing P2 as P7 although a mostly written paper with few if any complex calculations is very much based in the learning of P2.
Hope that helps, kind regards, Shaun.
thanks and best regard , Malik Sadiq.
44% in P5.
The day of the exam I actually sent a message to the ACCA complaining about the mess that was Q1 in the P5 exam which seemed to be less about finding out what we know and more about an examiner proving how clever they are in a manner where you spend a disproportionate amount of exam time trying to work out what the heck he's looking for in the answer rather than formulating the answer.
Can't believe that we spend months doing old paper after old paper, revising at every given minute and then open an exam paper with the first question to my mind being so poorly written.
Personally, considering the results combined with the volume of complaints that I am sure the ACCA have received about it I would not be at all surprised if there is an emergency change of examiner for that paper before the next sitting.
I would i do that?
The pass rate is so daunting that affects my choice on what paper i should study and how many i should sit in one go!
Thanks
B
p1 50%
p3 55%
p4 53%
p6 58%
F8 is best sat with F7 if you haven't done that one yet.
I would say that F5 and F9 are closer to each other and best sat as a pair.
HTH.
any suggestions??
Many thanks

The pass rate is really not encouraging, but we cannot give up. May be we need to change our approach to the exam overall.
I agree with you completely. The OT pass/fail rates differ from ACCA official rates. Dont know why students are not honest, after all there is nothing to be ashamed of if you fail.
for some papers almost 1000 people voted in 4 days! so dishonest people, even if there are some,,. are small minority that would not influence the poll that much!
Well, maybe you should start believing, that for some people Opentuition really helps passing their exams.. and acca global pass rates includes many thousands of students who do not know about opentuition? so they failed? :D
there is no reason to restrict it to logged in users only..
Dear Sadiq the choice is quite interesting and conflicting also. P7 relates to P2 coz it will ask you to apply your auditing and accounting standards knowledge while taking a scenario to apply auditing procedures. P5 now is very much linked with P3 coz of extensively inclusion of business models and advising the company as independent management consultant. P5 pass rate is very low but the new examiner approach is entirely different, he will ask for performance measurement rather for evaluation. Well i strongly advice you to take P7
Thnx dear and best of luck.
