Hey i have planed to attempt P4 in Dec 17 and i am not attending any classes but only read notes and lectures which are availabe at this website and practice past papers so Are these things enough to pass P4???
Yes – provided that you buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers and work through all of the questions.
sir I got it there should be another formula applied for standard diviation (formula with probabilities) but such formula is not given in notes…

But if you have read the introduction to the chapter you will see that you can no longer be asked calculations in the exam – you can only be expected to understand the idea of portfolio theory.
The lectures have been left because seeing the calculations should make the idea more clear – but again, you cannot be asked calculations in the exam.
sorry it relates to another lecture…
sorry again it relates to that lecture
Hey.
I am attempting p4 for the first time and planning not to take any classes. I plan to watch all of these lectures from sir John nd study from KAPLAN text book nd solve its Revision Kit!. Will that serve me any good?? can i rely on these lectures/?? because the previous 4 lectures of p4 that i saw recently are very well known to me from F9. So now iam a bit confused that are the entire list of lectures somewhat revision of f9???! please ild be thankfull if uld solve my confusion soon.!!
The Kaplan text book and revision kit are fine – you should be OK with them
A lot of P4 is revision of F9 – there is not a lot extra (but to say the entire list of lectures is revision is wrong and ridiculous – option pricing for example?).
The problem with P4 is not that there is so much extra to learn, but you are required to apply it in greater depth – you can only really get this from question practice from the revision kit.
馃檪 thanks alot for solving my confusion sir. Im very gratefull to you and opentuition for helping us so much. For any more doubts i will always consult you. Thank you
You are welcome 馃檪
Great job, I agree. Thanks a million!!!
The tutor is much more lively when he’s addressing a class. I enjoyed this session more than the previous one. Great job, sir!
