The syllabus for Paper F5 does not change for December. The format/layout of the exam will be different and so this Introduction lecture will be changed slightly – a new one will be uploaded in the next few weeks – but otherwise the lectures are all valid for December.
The syllabus has not changed and so the lectures are still valid for December.
The only lecture that will change is this Introductory Lecture to reflect the change in the format of the exam – this will be uploaded in the next few weeks.
All areas are important. I do not think it likely that there would be a full question on information, but it is certainly possible this time as part of a question..
All areas of F5 are important – there are five questions and they test each of the five syllabus areas. You cannot risk just choosing some of the topics – all of them can be tested.
Best now is to go through the past exam questions for the last 3 years (but not much time on last December’s exam).
In particular look at the written parts – 50% of the exam will be writing – and learn from the examiners answers (and look at the marking guide at the end of the answers to see which points were getting marks).
Part b of this question is a bit confusing. This is the basic earnings per share capculation. For the 01.04.11 the number of share figure shouldnt it be 75000 and the shares for the 01.01.12 be 15000 which gives the total shares at end of financial year 90000 which is the same in the trial balance ($45000/.50). Please help
Hi, I have provisionally been exempted from F1-F4… Im planning to write F5 and F6 in Dec 2014. I am yet to claim the exemptions, But Im struggling to decide. If I claim exemption will I still need to study some of the notes and lectures for F2 and to pass the Paper F5 Exams?
Although certainly some knowledge from F2 is needed for F5, all the important topics are covered again in our F5 notes and lectures. I really would claim the exemption and not worry!
dear sir could u please update on the new format for december exam am doing self study so dont really now how the new exam will cum am writing in december
In December the format does change – part of the exam will be multiple choice questions and part will be full questions. You can fine a specimen paper on the ACCA website.
However the syllabus is not changing and so you can start studying using our existing Course Notes and lectures.
Hi Sir, for the exams, our copies are scanned and sent for marking. So e.g in a linear programming question, when we plot the graph on the graph paper, we use pencil or pen? I recently watched a webinar on exam technique for F7 and the tutor said not to use pencil. Thanks
The tutor was right. You are only allowed to use black pen. (What you could do is use pencil first and when you are happy then go over the lines with a black pen.)
hello sir if i can do these lectures and class notes with revision kit can i pass easily and one more question is that theory in the class notes i can learnt or read it thanks
If you really understand the Course Notes and the lectures, and you practice lots of questions, then you should be able to pass well (including the written parts of questions).
First Off thank you to the OT team for doing such an excellent job with the lectures and to think that they are free this is a God sent. I am now understanding topics so clearly and feel more confident now going to the exam. I only recently started studying F5 and hoping to write exams in December 2013 along with F2 with your resources I Know i will make it through .
Dear
is this note prepared by the website is enough ?? no need to the text book .
If you work through the lectures with the course notes, then you do not really need the Study Text.
What you do need though is a Revision/Exam Kit from one of the approved publishers, because they contain lots of exam standard questions and practice on questions is vital.
Thank You .. wish the best for all students .

The Course Notes say on them ‘December 2014’.
The syllabus for Paper F5 does not change for December. The format/layout of the exam will be different and so this Introduction lecture will be changed slightly – a new one will be uploaded in the next few weeks – but otherwise the lectures are all valid for December.
ohh thank you very much
Are these lectures and notes helpful for December 2014 exams?
When will the lectures for the December 2014 session be available?
The syllabus has not changed and so the lectures are still valid for December.
The only lecture that will change is this Introductory Lecture to reflect the change in the format of the exam – this will be uploaded in the next few weeks.
pls is it possible to dwnload the lectures completly at once?
Lectures cannot be downloaded – they can only be watched online.
It is the only way that we can keep this website free of charge.
Sir, I have read the last 3 chapters of the notes for which there are no lectures briefly. Would you say they are important for the exams?
All areas are important. I do not think it likely that there would be a full question on information, but it is certainly possible this time as part of a question..
Hi , would u tell me that f5 important area …
All areas of F5 are important – there are five questions and they test each of the five syllabus areas. You cannot risk just choosing some of the topics – all of them can be tested.

Sorry for asking again sir, so even the x-axis and y-axis should be drawn with pen and the lines labelled with a pen?
Yes – everything in all questions must be in black pen.
dear sir,
we heard that the exam pattern is changed . optional type questions are also included in the exam pattern would you help me to clear the doubt???
No – that is not the true. Whoever you heard it from is wrong 馃檪
In June there will be 5 compulsory questions of 20 marks each.
(The format will change for December, but there will be no optional questions!!).
thanks
You are welcome 馃檪
