    I am unsure as to ACCA’s preferred consolidation workings method – BPP’s or Kaplan’s. For my undergraduate studies I learnt the Kaplan way but for my ACCA self distance learning studies I went with BPP method mainly because ACCA use this in all their past exam answers– for that reason I thought ACCA preferred BPP’s over Kaplan’s. I failed my last P2 sitting, most likely due to my limited understanding of BPP method. I am now contemplating reverting back to Kaplan method which I understand a bit better. Is that a wise idea?? I know both BPP and Kaplan working method arrive at the same answer but if I use Kaplan method in the exam, will I be marked down for that or will the ACCA exam markers understand this method?

    Neither is the “preferred” method! And the markers are, without exception, professional people of integrity. There is no way that you will lose marks because you have chosen one approach instead of an alternative approach.

    Rest assured, any approach is equally as good as any other. They all (should) arrive at the correct answer!
