    Hi Elena,

    Well after going through first chapter of OT E1 it shouldn’t be enough because I have gone through Kaplan study material, Astranti ( Free) notes I think OT is good for basics but not that descriptive. You need to study other material as well to pass exam. I liked Astranti as well if you are looking for free material.

    OT is good as a general forum and getting some basic idea about the topics it is a good platform I hope things will improve.

    If you are interested in studying together or discussion on topics please let me know I will be happy to share some knowledge with you.
    Kind regards

    It’s a good question. The Kaplan book is about 4 times as big as the notes on here. However, i think, particularly for E1 which i’m studying into now, it should suffice.
    I was wondering if the same study text is now relevant as the exam scheme has changed somewhat with the pass grade etc.

    Thanks,
    IB

    ibrown05, why is the Kaplan book 4 times as big? Does it generally just offer more examples? I don’t want to purchase any books as I’m on a zero budget. Can someone please share a free study text PLEASE!

    Is there any way to avoid paying the books?I never bought a book even at Uni I used to photocopy all my books, for bachelor and for the masters..
    Regarding the tests instead, are they similar to the actual tests of CIMA?
    cheers

    Try Astranti they have free notes available on their website but you can’t photocopy it you can read it online and make your own notes that’s the best option I can think of. But book cannot be replaced by their notes.
    Kind regards,

    Hi the mock is decent and gives you a good overview of what you need to read into for the real thing..

    Hi there,

    I passed my E1 Exam first time back in Feb 17 I used

    BPP book but for myself I actually studied the whole book as watching online lecture videos you don’t always cover everything you need to know. Once gained an understanding of all the syllabus , then went on to using online practice exams purchased via Kaplan Aptitude 1 & 2.
    The Kaplan online tests really helped me gain my confidence to understand questions within time conditions as well as focus on particular topics I struggled most with.

    Tip, practice, practice and More Practice.

    Best of luck!

    Rashida
