I am working professinal and I have only 150 hours of available time for the paper F-04 as I am appearing for F09 also to which I have to allocate 200 hours ( To appear Exam in June-11)
I have set following strategy for my studies of this paper:-
Read actively through the text (Kaplan) chapter by chapter,
Solve test your understanding
Solve exam kit questions
Solve Exam type questions in the Text
Revsion one month prior to the exam, by solving past exam papers,
Then conduct mock exam twice under actual exam conditions two days before the actual exam (The last exam question paper which will not be solved during revision)and then identify the weak areas and try to improve it if time permits.
Is this strategy will work for me to secure atleast pass?
Do anybody has a better strategy?
I invite all of you to share thier views, suggestions & opinions and their strategy adopted and passed exams and the ones who started thier studies.
Dear sathjyot,
your strategy looks perfect. However, in real life it’s not always easy to follow the plan.
I’ve been sitting F4 global this december and i can tell u that what helped me the most is a deep final revision in the last two days before exam.
Never rely on tips that are published before exam compeletely, however , analyze them and try to find where all publishers have the same opinion ..those questions will surely appear at exam.
F4 Global exam comparing to F4 uk is way easier and i’m sure that with mindset like yours, u will pass it.
However, u need to have an idea about all areas of sylllabus.I recommend you to study not only from Kaplan,
there are other resources available , u can find them easily.Kaplan is good, but u need to have knowledge of certain chapters of law.
Like ..let’s say , it’s good if you understand very clearly and study almost by heart UN convention on International Sale of Goods.
You will find at least 3 questions based on it. And in those big books they are sometimes explained too excessively , so it’s hard to figure out what is worth remembering or what not.there are many things to say, but if you follow your strategy, you will definately pass,
just study regularly and do revision. Also feel free to post questions at forums.If you want to discuss it further, pm me.
regards and best of luck with your studies,
ansiThank you for your reply and advice,
I had adopted the same method for my F-05 Eams last December and waiting for my results. It went reasonably well. Nevertheless after I left exam hall I found I could have done well, I mean for Eg. Linear programming section I was so thorough and prayed for a question in the exam, which did.
Blistering Bernacles!!!!!! I jumbed with joy only to mess up that at the end, I could not complete it, though rest all the questions I think I have done well.
What I am trying to convey is , there is some thing like an extra bit! push or strategy that may help you 100% confident and will not get panic in exam hall and mess up the answer even if you have prepared well. What could be that?
Text book explanation to this is I know ! practice, practice and only practice. But a fully dicursive paper like F-04 I am not sure the same strategy work.
Yes I have a reasonable amount of practical experience on the application and intrpretation of commercial law and practice as I am in the finance and accountancy filed for the last 20 years
Thank you once again for your valueable reply,
To be sure that you will pass F4,
listen to examiner’s approach to understand which topics he pays particular attention to.check questions allocation in past papers and simply study most examined topics.
then more mattter what , u will pass, even if you don’t know any single case.good luck to you!
