Revision guidance

Hi Mike,

Firstly I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic notes and lectures, I am genuinely so pleased to be back in your virtual classroom following P1 (your stories can turn the biggest frown into a smile).

I am looking for some guidance with regards to revision, if you would be so kind. I listen to your lectures every day before work and follow your notes also. I do however realise that with the number of subjects you cover for Open Tuition that you can’t cover anything and so I’ve invested in a BPP textbook and revision kit.

Normally I would read the entire textbook then work through the revision kit (fingers crossed it’s worked so far), however P2 is so comprehensive that I have found myself working through the revision kit for that section after each chapter. My problem being that the questions in the revision kit gather information from all over the syllabus (eg financial instruments also contains share based payments) and I haven’t read that chapter yet!

I know you didn’t write these books and realise that this is not your problem, but I didn’t know if there was a best method approach to this, eg read the textbook and test yourself later? Or perhaps test yourself as you go but expect to get some elements wrong if you haven’t got that far?

I will be sitting this in September and have estimated that I can finish reading the textbook in 16 days if I stop attempting the questions as I go.

Any advice gratefully received!
Donna
