Hello ACCA fellows,
I am appearing for the F4 Eng exam before 10th September, 2016 and after that want to attempt only one paper in December 2016 exam session.Will differ from person to person and if you are more numerically minded or better at written papers. This was my experience.
I’d argue that F7 and F9 contain the most material and F9 is technically the toughest to pass.
F5 has quite a lot of subject matter but is pretty straightforward in that no great depth is gone in to.
F6 tax is just a bunch of rules, all quite straightforward except inheritance tax is a bit more complex.
F8 imo is the smallest syllabus and probably least time consuming but is a written paper so you will find it easy only if you are good at expressing yourself clearly in the exam.
In summary I’d pick F5, F6 or F8 depending on your own strengths.
@chris165: Thanks for sharing your experience with me.
Actually I already took some classes for F6 UK in March 2016 for June exams but the Finance Act is change now and my teacher told me that F6 is the largest syllabus but easy to pass. As you said, its just a bunch of rules. But I feel that F6 required lot of practice and very time consuming. I am not sure whether to go for F6 or another paper.
I am not good at expressing myself at the moment because need to build strength for these written papers. So I have to choose either F5 or F6.
My fellows told me that don,t study F8 before F7 because they both are linked with each other. Even my teacher told me the same thing few days ago about F7 and F8.

Learning F5 here on OpenTuition was a lot of fun.
It is a very interesting paper.You don’t need to take F7 before F8.
I passed F8 before attempting F7.@suf23:
Did you passed F5 at first attempt?Did you find any similarities between F7 and F8?

Yes, I passed F5 first attempt.
In my opinion, F7 and F8 were different.
I didn’t see much similarities.
But that’s how I feel, others may disagree.The only link I see is that in F8, you give ‘assurance’ that the financial statements show a true and fair view(or not), among other things. And in F7, you produce financial statements.
So do you think relying solely on OT notes and lectures are enough to prepare fully for the exam?
Thanks.
So it means I can appear for F papers in any order.- Topics: 29

I have a monogamous relationship with OpenTuition.
I learn everything I need for ACCA exams here.
Of course, as many others have said, a revision kit is needed as well.
My regret is that I didn’t find OT sooner in my life 🙁
OpenTuition Zindabad! 😀
Absolutely agreed with everyone statement that a revision kit is needed to practice as many questions as possible.
But I found OT very sooner in my life.
Now my mind is diverting instead of buying other ACCA package or study text, I should give a try to OT for my next ACCA paper and see how it goes for me.
Today my awareness has increased about OT.
Thanks all of you for sharing your experience about OT.
