Today I passed my first ACCA exam: F4 (LW-GLO) 70%. I studied with BPP materials and OpenTuition. Thank you Mike for being such a good lecturer! I appreciated a lot your explanations and practical examples! Thanks again for your effort in guiding and motivating me more.

Very many congratulations Veronica - it's good to know that someone listens to our materials! Onwards and upwards ... and Open Tuition will be with you!

Hi! Is it possible to pass the F4 (LW-GLO) exam without studying with BPP and/or Kaplan materials but only using the sources on the internet and OpenTuition materials? Thanks!
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor7y ago#3
Almost ... however, you really cannot avoid acquiring a revision kit from either of the approved publishers . These kits contain hundreds of examination type multiple choice questions and practice on these is essential if you hope to achieve a good pass OK?

Thank you for your advice, Mike! I really hope to achieve a good pass :) I have purchased the kit today using the Discount Code from this site. Happy to be member of OpenTuition community!

Glad to have you on board, Viorica Anytime you hit a brick wall or don't understand an answer in the revision kit, post on the Law Ask ACCA Tutor forum and I shall get back to you

I passed my ACCA F4 (LW ENG) Exam via CBE yesterday. I wouldn't have passed it, if it wasn't for you guys at Open Tuition. I only managed to study 5 topics in the with BPP text book (due to limited time). But I relied on your lecture videos and summarized noted. Those I watched and studied to the full several times. I manged to score 70% which is my highest so far in my ACCA II. Thank you so much.

hey? anyone can suggest me which variant should i adopt? ENG or GLO ?
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor7y ago#10
If you have plans to practice as an accountant in England at any time in the future, then you MUST choose English variant Otherwise, the choice is yours As a personal preference, I would select English variant but that's probably fundamentally because I am English and I find the stories in the cases behind the principles in law great fun But if you're not looking to practice as an accountant in England the probably Global variant would be more appropriate OK? Whichever you choose, I'm here to answer any queries you may have be they English or Global

6 months should be ample! Just make sure that you buy a revision kit from one of the recognised tuition providers - endless hours of practicing answering questions is an essential element of success in the Law paper And, of course, when you hit a brick wall, post your question on the Ask ACCA Tutor forum and I shall get back to you OK?

Thank you Mike! Today I passed my first attempt of ACCA exam: F4 (English variant). I am so glad to listen all your lecture videos for such limited time. Your technique and reliable example helps me grasp the concept. Appreciate to hear about OpenTuition.

Hi im ACCA studend 3years ago. i had a gap until now. i would like to sit for exam in september. i have F4, F5, F8 & F9 left from skill levels. I would like to do one exam in theses mention papers. Which one is ideal to study for the september exam. Do i need to buy any books(kaplan or BBP) or open tution is enough? I really appreciate your guidance for me to start my acca journey back. Thank You. Krish.
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor7y ago#15
The paper titles have now changed - they're no longer F4, F5 etc They are now: F4 is Law (LW) F5 is Performance Management (PM) F8 is Audit and Assurance (AA) F9 is Financial Management (FM) Now to your questions ... PM, AA and FM all link directly to papers at the higher level The Law paper has no direct links to later papers It would seem to me that Law would be a sensible choice for you leaving the other papers until later. In that way, your skill level knowledge will be fresher in your mind for when you arrive at the next level Do you need to buy any books or is OpenTuition enough? OpenTuition is not enough, sadly. You must buy a revision kit from one of the recognised publishers (Kaplan or BPP) If you choose to buy a BPP Revision Kit, you could take advantage of the 20% discount that is available when you order through OpenTuition - click on the yellow box at the top of this page and simply follow the instructions The reason that you must acquire a revision kit is because they contain hundreds of examination standard questions and will thus provide you with hours and hours of practice in preparation for the exam When you hit a problem understanding a solution to a question post again on the Ask ACCA Tutor forum and I shall get back to you In addition to question practice from a revision kit, watch the free videos on this site and repeatedly read through the free course notes (just read (don't try to 'learn' or 'memorise' - just read), start to finish - it should take maybe 2 hours) Try to read through those notes once each week One final tip - when attempting questions in the revision kit, don't write your attempt in the revision kit itself. Write your efforts on a separate piece of paper. In that way you can keep returning to the questions without being influenced by your own previous attempts OK?

Did you self study?
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor7y ago#17
Everpeace and Baraka, to whom are you addressing your question?
Nnoman7y ago#18
Thanks Mike! I prepared F4 (eng) in a month solely with the help of your lectures, and I've got 92%. I liked the way you taught, thanks again!
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor7y ago#19
What a great score that is! Well done Onwards and upwards with OT
AAminath7y ago#20
F4 which variant is easy to pass?
AMAnn Marie7y ago#21
Hi, Did the law exam earlier this month and pass with 62%. Thanks Mike, appreciate the lectures and tests. I guess I'm stuck with open tuition.
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor7y ago#22
Well done Ann Marie, and you're welcome I don't know whether to commiserate with you or congratulate you on being "stuck with OpenTuition"! Trust me here, there are a lot worse things in life to be stuck with than OpenTuition Enjoy your time with us :-)

I passed with a 71% score, was hoping for more to be honest but a pass is a pass! I found the OT notes a bit cumbersome, but the online lectures were really handy to listen to when out for a walk or on the bus. Also good to have another learning method because after a few weeks you do kind of want to throw the text book out the window! Not a single INCOTERM question - I was disgusted! Small donation on its way to OT as I will be looking to you again for F5 inspiration
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor6y ago#24
Thank you Marian - just sorry that you found the notes cumbersome! They really cannot be condensed any further - compare them with the cumbersomeness (?) of a study text But very well done for passing and, no matter what you say, 71% is a good, solid pass On to F5 (as it used to be called) and upwards!
LLaylaSupporter6y ago#25
I passed my exam with 62% and only studied for a month - all thanks to Opentuition and Mike's wonderful lectures. Thanks a million for all the help!
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor6y ago#26
Well done Layla ... but you'll probably find that you need more than a month for these later exams Nevertheless, congratulations on passing the Law hurdle
AAngel6y ago#27
Hello Mike ! Its my first time on open tuition I have completed my first 3 papers successfully. Can i plz know how to pass the LW GLOBAL with gud marks?
MikeLittleMikeLittleTutor6y ago#28
Hi Angel Welcome to the OpenTuition family! How to pass the law exam? There are numerous posts in this forum where I have spelt out in considerable detail my suggestions for passing this paper - in fact I seem to remember one within the last few days Please may I ask you to check out the forum threads until you find one that answers your question Then, when you've read it, post again with any further query ... but post on the Ask ACCA Tutor thread - that way I am certain to see your post and I shall get back to you Very briefly ... don't buy a study text, read (just read) the course notes, once each week, watch the video lectures, buy a revision kit (if you choose BPP as your material, you can take advantage of the 20% discount available when you order through this site) and spend hours and hours and hours practicing the questions from that revision kit That should get you through! OK?
AAngel6y ago#29
