Sir, I’m planning on writing F9 and F6 in Dec session. I’m halfway through F6 but haven’t started F9.
I’ve acquired a BPP study text and a revision kit. But the text looks very lengthy and confusing.
Hence you find me here. Can I solely do the lecture videos along with the notes and clear the exam. I consider myself an above average student.
October 20, 2017 at 4:04 pm #412635No, the lectures and notes cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam, but it is vital that you practice every question in your revision kit – question practice is just as important as the studying.
And do appreciate that F9 is unlike F6 in that it is not just a question of learning rules. The examiner designs questions to check that you understand what is happening and have not just learned rules. Because of this only 50% of the exam involves calculations – the rest is testing you on your understanding of the topics.
October 23, 2017 at 9:03 pm #412980Although not entirely on-topic I still wanted to ask the question;
I am going trough the F9 lectures, it seems each chapter is presented with a new calculation.
Each calculation on itself is not hard but I am worried to mix-up/use the wrong calculation for the question.
Do you have any recommendation/suggestion how to apply the right formula to the question?
Thank you
October 24, 2017 at 8:21 am #413029It is a question of understanding why were are doing it, and then practicing as many questions as possible.
You must buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers and practice every question – that it the only way of becoming confident of applying the correct technique to each specific problem.
