hi guys! i would like to know if its possible to study f8 fresh from today and have any chances of passing the exam. i have printed out OT notes and bought the bpp revision kit. please give your thoughts. thank you
Not sure, but nothing is impossible. Are you currently working in accounting/ auditing sector? If yes, the chance will be higher due to the familiarity between knowledge and what you are doing in the office. My friend, who used to be an accountant, merely passed F8 years ago by studying FTMS Lecture Notes in around 1 week but she admitted that she was lucky at that time. Therefore, if it is not urgently, may you advise you to take the late exam, you will have more time to study and obtain better understanding to study higher papers.
how much time do you have to devote to study. if you have the time to go through OT and lectures notes, the technical articles and practice all the questions in the kit then you will have a very good chance of passing.
I hope it’s possible because I’ve only just started it! Im not working but I have 4 young children so only able to study during some of the school day. It’s taken me 3 days to watch the lectures. Now I will be going through my study text along with the notes I made from the lectures to make my flash cards. Then I will be doing the revision lectures.
My biggest difficulty is that this module is not fun for me. I prefer working with figures such as in tax and performance management. However, now we are so close to the exam I am being much more strict with myself. It can be done 🙂
@kutiez2005, to not let it be as boring try doing exam questions that are based on the chapter you have read.
I would normally say there is no need to go through the text just practice the questions from the kit. but i found when doing this paper it helped esp the ones that do test of controls and substantive tests.
The key to passing this exam is to practice writing out the answers and then comparing it with the model answer. it is one thing to think out the answer and the model answer may have all the points you thought of but what if you write it out how you phrase it may be different and that i where you would have an issue.good luck
