You say errata sheet…. is this a sheet listing the errors? where can I find this please?

I did my exam on 29th Dec. Got 52% with only 30 hrs of studies over the period of 5 days. Used OpenTution’s notes and lectures and also used BPP’s study text and revision kit on few occasions.

You either sit for English variant or Global variant so study for the variant you are sitting.

Hello Sir,

This is not a question but a comment. Chapter 1 and 2 really need lectures to go with it. The course notes on their own are leave us confused.

Gone again. Is there some kind of maintenance going on or is it server overloading? 🙁

[Shahmir]

I didn’t go for my exam because didn’t study at all. Classic me.

I think its a very basic and the first thing which comes to our mind when planning our studies. Also I am not trying to set any standards here. You guys are right about quality vs quatity and student’s IQ and it depends on many things but all I am trying to hear from you guys that what is your equation of time to marks after accounting for all the factors?

I am talking about the exam marks, not about the total marks of questions in revision kit.
When I passed my F4, I scored 64. I started studying 1 month before exam and I gave F4 about 130 hours of study in which I covered 90% of the syllabus, which makes it about 2 hours of study for 1 exam mark. This got me thinking how many hours a person can put in to pass an exam. Now obviously this ratio is not exact science and would differ from person to person.
It took me 35 hours to complete F5 Part A of syllabus from where Q1 comes in exam. I studied from opentution lectures and bpp text book and revision kit. Now I am positive that I should be able to score 15 marks in exam on Q1.
So this is what I am trying to discuss here that when we plan our studies, how many hours of study we think can give us a pass in exam?
