Thank you so much Mr John Moffat! I have passed my AFM exam in September 2023 in the first attempt. I absolutely cannot thank you enough. I have used your lectures and studied from the Kaplan Exam kit directly. This series was extremely useful for my exam.
There are no changes to the syllabus for June, so the lectures are OK (but obviously do also read all the Technical Articles on the ACCA website, and work through all of the questions in your Revision Kit).
It is impossible to define a level! It is only normal school arithmetic really, and you perform most of the calculations using the spreadsheet provided.
Hello, I plan on sitting for this paper in March 2022. Could you please tell me if these lectures are good for that attempt since I would be highly relying on these lectures.
@shamaun1619 I have the same plan as you concerning March 2022. For me, I think you should practice exam standard questions as much as you can in addition to the videos.
In future please ask this kind of question in the Ask the Tutor Forum and not as a comment on a lecture.
A normal calculator should have a square root button. However that is not what your first question seemed to be asking, and to take a 5th root (or to calculate something to an unusual power) then you must have a scientific calculator, and of course you can use it in the exam.
CALCULATION USING NORMAL CALCULATOR : Step 1 : Underroot 12 times Step 2 : subtract 1 Step 3 multiply with number in the power ( in above case 1/5)(in case of 3 times root 1/3) ( or in case of 2/3 multiply by 2/3) Step 4 : add 1 Step 5 : press x= (multiply sign and equal to) 12 times The result would be the answer Try with number 32 as it has result 2 ( follow the above steps)( in india we do like this)

Dear Sir
I have passed AFM in the examination attempt of June 2019 and attained 65 marks. The credit goes to you for this success. The method of your teaching would make difficult concepts of AFM much more easier to me to understand and learn.
Thank you once again, many prays and best wishes for you.
previous material on open tuition has really helped in passing my exams and am looking forward to use AFM materials for my forthcoming exam in December
Yes you can 馃檪 Sorry for the late reply, but I do not always see comments here. You should ask this sort of question in the Ask the Tutor Forum and then you are guaranteed a fast reply.

Hi there, are the AFM lectures suitable for September 2023 sitting? Are there supposed to be any changes in syllabus for Sep 23?
John Moffat says
There are some changes for the September exams, but they are not major and everything in the current lectures remains examinable.
We will be uploading updates immediately after the June exams.

Hi Mr moffat,
please can you tell me what is the mathematics level needed to tackle the afm paper
thanks,

axel.frederick says
Dear Mr Moffat,
thank you for your reply.
i was asking because i thought there were calculus or any topics from an A level mathematics involved in this paper
Reagrds,
frederick
John Moffat says
There is certainly no calculus and no advanced arithmetic 馃檪

5?(4722/3570)
May i ask how to compute the above using normal calculator than scientific calculator? Between, can we use scientific calculator for AFM exam?
mmlim2003 says
5?(4722/3570)
mmlim2003 says
4722/3570 square root 5

I tried the BPP question on MIRR calculation…Noticed that such complicated formula and hardly compute using normal calculator..

CALCULATION USING NORMAL CALCULATOR :
Step 1 : Underroot 12 times
Step 2 : subtract 1
Step 3 multiply with number in the power ( in above case 1/5)(in case of 3 times root 1/3) ( or in case of 2/3 multiply by 2/3)
Step 4 : add 1
Step 5 : press x= (multiply sign and equal to) 12 times
The result would be the answer
Try with number 32 as it has result 2 ( follow the above steps)( in india we do like this)

The only change is the addition of initial coin offerings (crypto currencies) to the list of sources of finance.
