I’m studying my F5 this Dec, via distance learning from Kaplan and pretty overwhelmed by the pre-tuition resources. I graduated from Bath university a year ago and hold 5 exemptions, one of my modules; advanced management accounting holds heavy overlap with F5.
Now your lectures start straight from ABC and onwards, and doesn’t dwell on recapping F2 as much – however my kaplan resources for pre-tuition prep have topics such as Balanced scorecard, transfer pricing, absorption costing, cost behaviour, budgeting for cashflow and income statements etc. I’ve spent around 5 hours just recapping and still not finished.
Now my question is shall I bother recapping all the pre-tuition materials or shall i dive straight into the course content for F5 which starts at Traditional + advanced costing methods from ABC onwards?
Our free Lectures and Course Notes cover everything that is important for Paper F5, including revision of the relevant topics from Paper F2.
(the balanced scorecard is covered in the chapters on performance measurement; absorption costing (so far as is relevant) is revised in the chapter on Activitiy Based Costing; cash budgets are not examinable in F5, but other budgeting is covered in full in the F5 lectures; transfer pricing is not examinable at F2 but is covered in full in the F5 lectures)
There is really no need to go back through F2 (only part of F2 carries into F5 anyway – the rest is F9). Go straight into our F5 lectures. If you do come to something from F2 that you do not understand (which I doubt will happen) then maybe look back at the relevant lecture for F2.
Any other problems ask in the F5 Ask the Tutor forum and I will try to help 🙂
Hi John, thanks a lot of the helpful and comprehensive reply. I will bear this all in mind and dive straight into F5. Thanks again!
