General ACCABest way to study P1 for full time employed student

I am in the same boat and would also appreciate any advise aswell! Have gone to classes for all of the others so nervous of doing this on my own. I am planning of doing a 3 hour session a week and aiming for an extra 3 hours every second week. Personally I prefer Independant Colleges books over Kaplan. Have notes off a girl that did it last year so will follow then and do the same amount in a session as they covered per class.

Will probably chicken out and go to classes though...

Maybe the best place to start would be the revision kit! Get a feel of the sort of question that David Campbell asks and read through a couple of answers. Then check out the relevant section of the study text.

You could also listen to the OT audio lectures!

You should find that the questions in the kit are pretty much repetitive and the same "standard" comments appear time and time again.

The OT course notes are also pretty helpful and leave space for you to fill them out with your own observations

may i know where can i get the revision kit?

i guess one way of getting success in p1 n also in p3 is that first go through OT notes and then all past paper'z note down all question's in past paper's n see what % of them is covered by OT notes n Those uncovered go through them frm book n then go through all past paper's once I guess u will get pass ... infact I hope so .....

How can u go through revision kit without reading text book?
i read Corporate governance Cahpters in 4 days and did Revision kit Questions of CG in 2 days.
Have I wasted my 4 days?

No, not at all! In fact, spending your 4 days probably meant that your two days was better spent. I'm talking here about having just 4 or 5 weeks left before the exam, and I'm talking to people who have not even bothered to open a text. Ok, life is going to be a struggle, but it's still possible. Open the revision kit, read a question, realise that you have no idea where to start, so read the answer.

Now try a similar question, this time you have one or two ideas which MAY be relevant. Read the answer, and then repeat the process with another similar question ( or go back to the first one again! )

You should, by the time the exam comes along, have collected sufficient nuggets to be able at least to attempt the questions. Hopefully, you will have done enough to score a pass. Those students who studied "properly" and read the text then attempted the questions - well they deserve a stronger chance of success
