Changes in P4 September 2016 exam session

Rruqayyah10y ago
Dear Sir, I would like to know whether there will be any changes in the lecture notes for P4 September/December 2016 exam session. If yes, by when will the lecture notes be updated?

There will be a new set of notes uploaded later this month (and a few more lectures). However the changes are more improvements then actual syllabus changes, so you can start using the current notes and lectures.

EVA is no longer examinable. Our lecture notes for September 2016 are online and cover the syllabus for September.

hi Sir, is the BPP June 2016 book and kit will be ok for december 2016? if i use BPP text book and kit plus your course note, is it sufficient?
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor9y ago#9
Yes - the book will be OK (but ignore EVA). Our lecture notes should only be used along with watching our free lectures.

hi Sir, does it mean that i follow your content on the lecture note chapter by chapter (and refer to BPP text book for more detail or explanation? ? and do the the revision kit question after study each chapter? because i feel uncertain how to start P4 study
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor9y ago#11
Yes - that would be best. Work through the lecture notes and watch the relevant lectures that go with the chapters, and use your Study Text for areas whether you are unsure or want more explanations. If you download our free Study Guide (from the main P4 page) it suggests the best questions to use for practice, and at which stage.

hello sir, my question is, apart from eva & mva are there any other changes to the syllabus of P4?
Ssattar7869y ago#15
sir i've heard of the changes to marks i.e from 50% to 55%, is this true, or perhaps a rumour
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor9y ago#16
Other changes are minor - you can see what they are by looking at the syllabus on the ACCA website. Changes are listed at the very end of the syllabus. No - there is no change in the pass mark!

Could you please provide a brief note for the recent changes in P4 and i just want to know EVA topic fully removed or not? pls replay [email protected]
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor9y ago#18
EVA has been removed from the syllabus. Other changes are minor and you can see them listed at the end of the syllabus (which is available on the ACCA website). Sorry, but we do not provide help by private email - only on the forums :-)

Hi sir, Syllabus changes just took place in September 2016. If I plan for September 2017 sitting, do you think changes is going to take place again...?...thanks..
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor9y ago#22
Quite possible!! However syllabus changes are usually very small - they were very small this time. Most of the syllabus will remain the same whether or not there are changes.
