I can only answer in respect of Paper F9 (I do not teach F7 and F8 - it is better to ask about these on the relevant Ask the Tutor forums. Our Course Notes and lectures contain enough to pass the F9 exam well, provided that you do really understand them and that you are not just learning 'rules. Half the exam is written as opposed to calculations and so it is vital that you fully understand everything. You must practice as many questions as possible. Certainly you must work through all of the past exam questions, but better is to get hold of an exam/revision kit from one of the approved publishers - they have many more questions as well as the past exam questions.

Dear Sir, what is exact dividend policy means?
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor12y ago#5
There is no such term as 'exact dividend policy'. There are several dividend policies that a firm could follow - for example, they could have a policy of paying high dividends with little growth, or a policy of oaying low dividends but with higher growth ( due to the retention being used to expand the company) .

I'm also struggling but I've almost finished all the material, so I'm spending the day drawing a large mind-map of the course. I'm half way through and it's already helped me piece things together. Once I know where all the pieces fit on the map I can start really practising the topics I struggle with the most. Hopefully this will get me through the exam.

Good idea :-) I hope you are watching our lectures as well. Do ask on this forum if you have problems, and I will try and help.
