    Don’t bother with buying a study text

    But you MUST acquire a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher

    The video lectures cover the English variant but are also relevant for 50% – 60% of the Global variant

    The course notes should be read as many times as you can bring yourself to do it – they take 2 hours to read … just READ … from start to finish

    Don’t try to learn or to memorise

    Just read – twice a week (at least)

    Start into the revision kit immediately (not ‘immediately after you have read the notes and watched the videos!’ Start into the revision kit as soon as you have acquired it!)

    When trying the mcqs and mtqs and don’t be surprised when you get 95% of them wrong first time through, nor 85% of them wrong second time through

    Remember, keep reading the notes and watching the videos

    75% of them wrong, then only 50% wrong

    Then you’re cooking with gas! 30% wrong on your fifth time through

    And then just 20%, 15%, 10%

    Where do you want to be? 100%? It can happen if you go through and through and through those questions

    Do NOT mark your attempt in the revision kit / exam kit itself – that would be a distraction for the subsequent attempts. Have a separate piece of A4 available and mark your efforts on that separate piece of paper

    When you come to an answer that you don’t understand or where you have made an attempt and it’s incorrect and you don’t know why … post your question on this page Ask ACCA Tutor forum and I shall get back to you

    The key to passing this paper is endless hours of practice, practice, practice

    OK?

    NB if you haven’t already acquired a revision kit / exam kit there is the opportunity to acquire BPP study material by placing your order through this site – check out the black box with yellow script on the right hand side of this page

    But don’t waste your money on a study text

    Am stuck and failing to follow the videos and global notes. The first 10 chapters of f4 global, are there no videos on those ones..? or is that part not important..?

    No, there are no videos for the first 10 chapters and they are important

    Just keep reading the course notes and practicing the mcqs from a reputable company’s revision kit / exam kit

    And ask here about any matter that confuses you

    If you’re doing paper-based then the examiner would appreciate the use of cases to support your answers but the opportunities to do so are very limited

    None of the 45 mcqs are likely to give you this opportunity and it would be unusual for any of the 5 x 6 mark questions to offer it either

    In short, don’t worry about cases

    As for lectures for the global variant, there are none

    But around 50% – 60% of the global exam is the same as the English variant and there are lectures for substantially the whole of that syllabus

    And, of course, there’s me here waiting to answer any questions that you may have

    OK?
