    • Do without the study text

      Watch the lectures

      Read the notes (2 hours from start to finish just to read them (don’t try to learn, just read) at least once per week)

      Get heavily stuck into a revision kit whenever you want – and don’t worry about scoring only 15% – 20% first time through any section because the next time through you’ll be scoring 30% – 40% and the third time through you’ll be looking at 60% – 70%

      From there on, the World’s your oyster

      Don’t write your attempts in the revision kit itself – write them on a separate piece of paper so that your subsequent efforts are not influenced by your earlier ones

      Hour after hour after hour in the revision kit

      When you hit a problem where you don’t understand the answer, post in the Ask ACCA Tutor forum and I shall get back to you (I only rarely look at the ‘recent comments’ section)

      OK?

  4. Are we supposed to remember Carlill v Carbolic (the case names) and what happened in all these cases for our MCQ’s. Or they are just examples to make us understand the difference between what’s an offer or invitation.

    • You’re not going to get the opportunity to show off your encyclopedic knowledge of case names, sorry. Nor case dates nor section numbers of Acts, not the names of Acts

      Nothing really

      You’re only going to get the opportunity to show that you have remembered principles of law. Where will you find those principles? How will you remember that goods displayed in a shop window are invitations and not offers?

      • What is there not to understand about the two questions?

        Here they are again – and I can see nothing in there that needs any explanation 馃檨

        Where will you find those principles? Well – where will you find the principles of law?

        How will you remember that goods displayed in a shop window are invitations and not offers? Do you have some easier way of remembering that “goods displayed in a shop window are invitations and not offers” – other than by remembering the story of the flick knife case?

    • Natalia, if you want to be sure of a response from us, you need to post your questions on the Ask ACA Tutor page. We DO look at that page and we DO respond

      But a question posted in a general forum or after a video lecture – you’ll be very lucky if we even see it.

      How old are the lectures? that’s a beautiful thing about the English legal system – very little changes. Much of the law that is applied in the 21st century was laid down in the 15th and 16th century (and obviously more recent times too)

      The stuff in the course notes and in the lectures is up to date (except I need to amend the course notes to say that the minimum number of members in a public company is just 1 whereas notes and lectures say 2)

      And, of course, if you’ve any problems, you can post them on the F4 Ask ACCA Tutor page and I shall get back to you
