      If you work through the lectures with the course notes, then you do not really need the Study Text.

      What you do need though is a Revision/Exam Kit from one of the approved publishers, because they contain lots of exam standard questions and practice on questions is vital.

      You do not really need a Study Text – if you are fully confident of what is covered in the lectures and the course notes that go with them, then that is enough.

      However, you do need a Revision / Exam Kit from one of the approved publishers. They contain lots of exam-standard questions to practice on, and practice at questions is vital.

    Of course 馃檪

    The Course Notes say on them ‘December 2014’.

    The syllabus for Paper F5 does not change for December. The format/layout of the exam will be different and so this Introduction lecture will be changed slightly – a new one will be uploaded in the next few weeks – but otherwise the lectures are all valid for December.

      The syllabus has not changed and so the lectures are still valid for December.

      The only lecture that will change is this Introductory Lecture to reflect the change in the format of the exam – this will be uploaded in the next few weeks.

      Lectures cannot be downloaded – they can only be watched online.

      It is the only way that we can keep this website free of charge.

    Sir, I have read the last 3 chapters of the notes for which there are no lectures briefly. Would you say they are important for the exams?

      All areas are important. I do not think it likely that there would be a full question on information, but it is certainly possible this time as part of a question..

      All areas of F5 are important – there are five questions and they test each of the five syllabus areas. You cannot risk just choosing some of the topics – all of them can be tested.

        Best now is to go through the past exam questions for the last 3 years (but not much time on last December’s exam).

        In particular look at the written parts – 50% of the exam will be writing – and learn from the examiners answers (and look at the marking guide at the end of the answers to see which points were getting marks).

    Part b of this question is a bit confusing. This is the basic earnings per share capculation. For the 01.04.11 the number of share figure shouldnt it be 75000 and the shares for the 01.01.12 be 15000 which gives the total shares at end of financial year 90000 which is the same in the trial balance ($45000/.50). Please help

    Hi, I have provisionally been exempted from F1-F4… Im planning to write F5 and F6 in Dec 2014. I am yet to claim the exemptions, But Im struggling to decide. If I claim exemption will I still need to study some of the notes and lectures for F2 and to pass the Paper F5 Exams?

      Although certainly some knowledge from F2 is needed for F5, all the important topics are covered again in our F5 notes and lectures.
      I really would claim the exemption and not worry!

      In December the format does change – part of the exam will be multiple choice questions and part will be full questions. You can fine a specimen paper on the ACCA website.

      However the syllabus is not changing and so you can start studying using our existing Course Notes and lectures.

    Hi Sir, for the exams, our copies are scanned and sent for marking. So e.g in a linear programming question, when we plot the graph on the graph paper, we use pencil or pen? I recently watched a webinar on exam technique for F7 and the tutor said not to use pencil. Thanks

      May 20, 2014 at 5:10 pm

      The tutor was right. You are only allowed to use black pen.
      (What you could do is use pencil first and when you are happy then go over the lines with a black pen.)

        Sorry for asking again sir, so even the x-axis and y-axis should be drawn with pen and the lines labelled with a pen?

      • John Moffat says

        May 20, 2014 at 5:20 pm

        Yes – everything in all questions must be in black pen.

      No – that is not the true. Whoever you heard it from is wrong 馃檪

      In June there will be 5 compulsory questions of 20 marks each.

      (The format will change for December, but there will be no optional questions!!).

      If you really understand the Course Notes and the lectures, and you practice lots of questions, then you should be able to pass well (including the written parts of questions).

      In theory yes, because it was in Paper F2.
      In practice it is not asked in Paper F5.

    First Off thank you to the OT team for doing such an excellent job with the lectures and to think that they are free this is a God sent. I am now understanding topics so clearly and feel more confident now going to the exam. I only recently started studying F5 and hoping to write exams in December 2013 along with F2 with your resources I Know i will make it through .
