Hi
nearly finished the OT tutors and opened up the study text from BPP and feel like I have forgot all the start, is this usual to feel like this?
Worried I haven’t took anything in.
still 8 weeks to go, thinking of studying BPP study text from the start and then doing the revision books. 🙁 thought I had gave myself a head start.hopefully it all comes back.

Yes, that is the nature of tax.
So many rules to remember.In my opinion, I would not go into the study text.
I think you can re-watch the lectures, and then get into the revision kit.
Or you can start on the revision kit, and when you forget something, you can go back to the OT course notes and lecture.
Perhaps, it would be best to go through the lectures with the notes one more time for the next 4 weeks. And then get into the revision kit for the last 4 weeks.
Also add F6 technical article to your study.

Thank you gave me some faith.
I have ordered the revision kit from BPP. I’m going to finish the tutors and perhaps do the examples again from the notes and go over the tutorials were I’m stuck.
I can use BPP study text to do the questions for practice and re read anything I’m unsure before moving on to the revision kit and pass papers.
If I study 2 hours a day I should be ok. I hope fingers crossed.thanks again

You can also ask questions in the ‘ask the tutor forum’ if you need help from the F6 tutor.
Good luck with the studying.
October 13, 2017 at 9:11 am #4107448 weeks is plenty of time to study if you approach it right. I would agree that going back over the study text may not be the best approach. There are many rules to remember in this exam, and many exceptions to the rules to remember too!
As with any exam the key to passing is question practice. I used the Kaplan text for this exam and the study text is HUGE, over 1000 pages. So it’s normal that you’ll forget stuff from the beginning by the time you get to the end!
Perhaps just review the topic areas and re-read any bits you really don’t remember anything from, then start practicing multiple choice questions. This will then give you an idea of what your strong and weak topics are, and you can focus more on the weaker ones.
