    As I explain in my free lectures on alternative costing techniques you are expected to be aware of various techniques (including ABC) but will not be expected to do calculations on them in Paper MA (calculations ar asked in later exams).

    Our lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well. If you are watching the lectures you do not really need the Study Text. However whichever way you choose to study, the Revision Kit is vital because it is full of exam standard questions for practice, and practice is essential to passing the exam.

    They are both ACCA approved and so both are good.

    I personally prefer the BPP Revision Kit (and you get a 20% discount if you click on the advert on this page 🙂 )
