    Hi I am self studying.
    Exempt from F1-F3
    I have completed F4 through to F8 and am currently studing F9 to sit in December.

    For F4 & F5 I solely used Kaplan, and then about 2 weeks before the exam I discovered Opentuition.
    F6 I used BPP and Opentuition, but found BPP a bit too detailed and over the top – however I had the advantage I work in taxation so maybe that was why.

    For F7 & F8 I used kaplan again supported by the Opentuition notes and lectures.

    For F9 I started off on Emile Woolf on a recommendation (you can download ebooks for £4,99) however I struggled to cope – for me they seemed too intense. I have gone back to Kaplan and of course opentuition.

    It depends really on what your comfortable with.
    I prefer Kaplan and will be stricking with them but thats not to say you would enjoy them. Its each to their own Im afraid 🙂

    Best of luck 🙂

    PS I also buy revision kits off ebay and download all of past papers from ACCA website.
    Plus you can sometimes just randomly hit interesting info just by typing subjects into google and/or you tube.
