Hi, I'm studying for F4 English Variant and I was wondering if the lectures and the notes are enough to score 90+. I need a high score and not just a pass for personal reasons but I cannot settle on anything below 90. I have the study text with me but I find it absolutely terrible on how they explain things so is it necessary that I do the study text along with the lectures and notes? I'm aware the exam kit is essential and I plan on doing it thoroughly but I'm not sure about the study text as it looks like a waste of time and effort.

LWAiming for a high score in F4.
I tend to agree with you about the study text! It goes into phenomenal detail and is 'comprehensive' to say the least!
You say that you have a revision kit - I suggest that you become excessively friendly with it to the extent that it never leaves your side
Watch the videos - yes
Read the course notes - yes, multiple times
Practice answering questions from the revision kit - yes, for hour after endless hour! Multiple repetitions, over and over again and again and then... again
Every question in that kit 4, 5 and even 6 times until you're getting every answer correct with only extremely rare slip-ups
And, whenever you hit a solution to a question that you don't understand, post your question on the Ask ACCA Tutor forum and I shall get back to you
OK?
Yes I understand thank you. I was wondering if one kit would be sufficient or should I get another kit from another publisher as well. I do have a Kaplan kit so should I invest in the BPP kit as well?
I doubt very much that that will make any noticeable difference - save your money
OK?
Okay, thank you.
You're welcome
Hi Ilham,
How was your exam? Were you able to achieve 90+ with this prep method? I am aiming for that as well, as I need it to get a decent score in obu. Study texts been really horrible.
Looking forward to your reply. Many thanks in advance.
Hello Afzal,
I haven't really attempted the exam yet. I finished the syllabus but I need to give F9 in March so it was becoming too overwhelming to do both. I'm practicing F4 exam kit and doing a chapter from the study text every then and now so I'll probably give the exam over the course of a few months. I don't want to rush it and score lower than what I want.
Hi Ilham,
Have u given the exam yet?
@ayeshasohail no I have not yet. I have decided to give it after I've done all the other applied skills exams. F4 is quite easy which is why I've saved it for last.
Hi. I'm also preparing for F4. Give me avice please
