    The same applies to Paper F5 πŸ™‚

    You should watch the free lectures (with the lecture notes in front of you) – they are a complete course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    In addition you should make sure you have a current edition of a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, and attempt every question (learning from you mistakes where necessary).

    Any problems, then ask in this forum and I will try and help you.

    Hi,

    I have just found this great website and also have my exam in December.

    I go to a local college one day a week and finding it a lot to take in. I am currently AAT qualified and ACCA seems a pretty big leap!

    At college I have gone through the textbook (Kaplan) once and feel that we now have limited time to study…

    Is there any particular chapters you would say are vital to have a good understating of? i wouldn’t say im struggling with anything in particular, i just only have a month to get to grips with all chapters again to be safe and pass.

    Thanks

    It is too dangerous to concentrate on any specific areas – especially for Paper F5 – because the format of the exam ensures that all topics are examined.

    Best is to spend your time watching my free lectures (which if you have already studied everything at college, should not take too long) and most importantly practicing all the questions in your Revision Kit, because practice at exam standard questions is vital to passing the exam. (If you do not already have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, then it is vital that you buy one.)

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the advice. I think i will watch a chapter an evening and just almost start again with this material.

    I don’t want to be doing any resits, so i will say goodbye to the social life for now!

    Thanks again
