    Hello everyone, I need an advise please..
    I just start studying for the ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business, I have the F1-F2-F3 2016-2017 books, are there any major changes between them and the books of 2020 ?
    Do I have to get the 2020 books or are the ones I have enough to pass the exams?
    I couldn’t get the latest books, it would be very appreciated if you can clear this out for me or give me a practical advice.
    Thanks.

    I don’t remember there being any changes for Paper FA (was Paper F3), but I don’t keep old syllabuses and so I cannot be certain. I would imagine that there is a syllabus printed in your book and if so then you can compare it with the current syllabus on the ACCA website.

    If you are watching my free lectures for Paper FA then you do not really need a Study Text, because the lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed for be able to pass the exam well.
    What is essential is that you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers because it contains lots of exam standard questions for practice, which is vital to passing the exam.

    For Paper MA (was F2) there certainly have been changes. If you are watching our lectures then it is just a new Revision Kit that you need (if not then you need a new Study Text also).

    I do not know about paper BT (was F1) – you need to ask in the relevant Ask the Tutor Forum.
