  2. Hello sir,

    I’m taking the Singapore Variant paper for the June 2014 exam. May I know what are the chapters that are the same and which few chapters only applies to GLO/ENG variant?

  3. Hi Mike

    Firstly – thanks so much for your continued support and prompt responses to us students. I’ve just started ACCA and sit my F1 in a month and have F2&F3 exemptions approved. I have paid the ACCA to sit the F4 &F5 in December and was interested to note your comments on the F4 being a possible CBE. I’m sure most students would prefer the CBE route allowing them to immediately re-sit the paper in the event of a failure rather than waiting for another 6 months. Do you have any further details on this and many thanks for your help in advance.

    Kind Regards

    Chris

  4. This lecture was really helpful. But can you tell me what are those 10 points you are referring at the end of the video?
    Also I sat my F3 paper in January. And I’m doing f1, f2, F4, F6 in the June session. Just want to know whether I can write the F4 and F6 exams before facing for the CBE f1 and f2 papers.

    Thanks a lot for these lectures. VERY helpful
    🙂

    • You need 10 points per question. It’s no good having 3 or 4 even though they may be SUPER points – they’re worth only 3 or 4 marks.

      To score 10, you need 10 points

      Even 5 is not enough – what if the marker decides that 1 of those 5 is not clear enough? Then you have scored only 4 out of the 10 available, and that’s not enough for a pass!

      Ok?

      • Ok sir.. Thanks alot.
        and can you answer the second part as well 🙂

        That is ;

        THANK YOU AGAIN 🙂

    Hi Mike if a student does not pass the CBE sitting in Dec can they do it over immediately or do they have to wait till June sitting?

    I look forward to your reply

  7. @MikeLittle

    Hi dear

    In relation to the Dec 2014 CBE exams, what fee would apply for f4? I know there is an early fee and standard fee quoted on myacca. Will this remain the same?

    Also, is there a CBE demo for this paper?

    Thanking You
    Tempe

    • Hi, there are no videoed lectures on this site specifically for the global F4. However, around 60% of the lectures / syllabus for F4 English is relevant to the F4 global variant. In addition listening to the videos and reading the course notes, you should make sure that you have available a revision kit from one of the reputable publishing tuition providers and that you honestly work your way through the past exam questions and answers from that revision kit

      OK?

  12. sir, Since These lecture have been recorded few years beck. I would like to know weather is there any area there has been a change in the video explanations, or the way of answering for June 2014 sitting. Thankx a lot in advance

    • Hi Hixam

      When you remember that the basics of English Law were laid down hundreds of years ago …..

      No, there has been very little change since the recordings were made and certainly none of the cases mentioned have had their decisions changed!

      There have been isolated topics introduced since the recordings, but these are amply covered in the notes – principally the topics of “Treasury shares” and “the Bribery Act”

      • thank you sir for the immediate reply. So Will we be able to see the videos for that new two topic before our exam sitting for the june 2014.

      • Hi – no plans to record them in the near future. Both topics are relatively short – Treasury shares is just a page and a half and really needs no further comment. Bribery Act is also pretty much self contained and should be within the grasp of any student.

        Try it and see for yourself 🙂

    • Hey Petter, Admin’s normal reply to this post is “If it’s not on the site, it does not exist” or something like that You will find that there are some chapters in the notes for many of the papers which dont have a lecture. Opentution comment is normally “its easy enough for you to read by yourself – we have to leave you with some work to do on your own”

      And that seems to work!

  16. hi!
    can someone help me out please..i am in a big problem, actually I had to sit for f4-global paper but my registration is done for the f4-English variant paper, I am so confused what to do,, I am trying to open the lecture videos but it does not open.. what should I do?

    • Do you have F4 global revision kit? It doesn’t matter if you don’t because you can download all the past exam questions and answers from this website link to the ACCA

      Download from december 2007 up to last June.

      And then start READING – not trying to learn, just read. As many times as you can force yourself to do it.

      Start with December 2007, read June 2008, and then December 2007 again.

      Then December 2008, followed by December 2007 and June 2008.

      Then June 2009 followed by December 2007, June 2008, December 2008

      Then December 2009, December 2007, June 2008, December 2008, June 2009

      Then June 2010, December 2007 ……….I think you get the idea.

      READ, read, read again until you’re sick of it.

      And then read it all again

      And DO NOT try to sit and learn – JUST READ – over and over and over again

      And watch the videos from the course notes chapter 10 onwards – the videos are aimed at the English variant but the two variants, English and Global are parallel after chapter 10 (Agency – if that’s chapter 10) in the course notes

  17. about to sit F4 paper next week. So any tips what you think will be in paper or wont be in paper. Have gone over the videos three times now and got good notes, my problem is the syllabus is massive so hard to remember it all. One video the lecturer points out that one section if in past paper is never repeated twice in a row so tips like this be handy. So with ten days left any chapters you think are vital to know inside out as hard to learn all 17.

    • Let’s be realistic about this – there really is not a lot in either employment law nor agency law. A dedicated student could read ALL the past exam questions and answers in both topics in less than a day and the examiner has a habit of repeating questions in these areas.

      I feel no guilt when I expect you to do your own work in these areas

  19. great corporate and business law lectures in english version and it is very interested. The english laws are used in many countries and i am excited to be a part of this course. are these lectures reliable along with text book for a pass as acca exams is a challenge to pass?

  20. @ Mr Mike.

    In the course notes i can see the small , fast and multi tracks systems dealing with claims 5,000 , 5000-15000 n > 15000 respectively.

    However , in the June 2013 session there was 1 question on these. The ans given by the examiner was 5000, 5000 – 25000 , > 25000 .

    why this change.?

    • Apparently the de minimis limits have increased through he process of inflation. I would be inclined to believe the study text in this area. Those of you reading this …. DO NOT PANIC!!!! Pass / fail will not be determined by your knowledge of the up-to-date $ values applicable to small, fast and multi-track courts!
