    Hi,

    you need more than just passcards they are meant for revision.

    I would get the current texts either Bpp or Kaplan and work through those. If you can get hold of them I would recommend the Bpp I-pass disks as they are supposed to be just like the actual CBE. This would help with exam practice. The revision kits are good also.

    Good luck.

    Hi Nora

    I agree with mohib and *starfish* – you can’t study for these exams without a text book – the passcards really are, almost for last minute revision – you need to know the topics in a lot more detail to understand the bigger picture. Depending on where you sit your exam, I would buy the corresponding text i.e. at a BPP centre, but their material. This is important as BPP for example will cover things in a certain manner and so will the exams…if you struggle with the books – which when you learn from home, is understandable – there’s a really good book called Frank Wood’s Bookkeeping and Accounts published by the Financial Times (6th ed) – and it breaks a lot of the concepts down into a more digestable language. It’s also excellent for the double entry part of the syllabus, as this is the most important part to get your head around!.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi

    I would suggest Frank Wood’s Bookkeeping and accounting 7th Edition or Franks Wood’s Business Accounting 1 – 11th Edition. (IFRS Edition).

    I have just completed ‘Introduction to Book-keeping and Accounting’ course from Open University- UK and I found these two books are great help.

    Cheers
    Ronnie

    Ronnie’s right – I have the 7th edition not 6th!

    Passcards is a small pocket size booklet that covers briefly most essential topics.
    They are good for quick revision.
    For more infromation about BPP passcards , check this link :
