ZZaynab1y ago
I have a Kaplan Studybook that i intend to use to supplement Open Tuition notes. The studybook is for 2023. Can i still use it for the 2025 exams?

There were no additions or deletions from the 2023/24 syllabus - the syllabus is the same in 2024/25 as it was in 2023/24. Likewise no changes in the syllabus for 2025/26. There is some ambiguity in your question when you talk about the 2023 book. Does this cover the 2022/23 syllabus?

You would obviously have to keep in mind the above changes to the syllabus. Often the syllabus is published in the study text.
