    Hello!

    I have two questions regarding the revision material of F5:

    1. Is it a waste of money if I purchase a ‘passcard’ from the approved tuition provider (for F5 in nature, is it worthwhile for me to use such revision material)?

    2. For the question bank, should I choose BPP or Kaplan (self-study)?

    Thank you in advance for your support!

    Rather than use the revision lectures, you would be better using the main F5 lectures (together with the lecture notes) because they provide a complete course covering everything you need to be able to pass F5 well.

    The only book you need is a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers. They contain lots of exam standard questions to practice on, and practice is vital.

    BPP and Kaplan are both fine – it does not matter which one you choose 🙂

    Dear John,

    Thanks for your reply!

    I have heard that Kaplan’s is concise (for more experienced guys) and BPP’s is comprehensive (for starters). Is this a misconception?

    The ‘passcard’ I mean is a pocket note rather than the course.

    Thank you once again for your support!

    Have a nice day!

    I think it is a misconception. Everyone is different – some people prefer Kaplan and others prefer BPP, but it is a matter of taste. The overall level is the same.

    Yes – I know what Passwords are. Some people like them for last minute revision, but they are simply summaries of the main points – they are not for actually learning from.
