I am first time going to sit for the exam throughe self study since there is no titution provider in kuwait. also which study materail is good for F4. I want to starts studies now itself.I am full time employed so it’s very difficult to find out timing also. please kindly advise.Is it enough if follow video lectures & couse notes in OP & Question bank from any material.please help me sir.
Thanks a lot
September 5, 2013 at 4:27 pm #139921Hmm, the only “full” set of course notes is for the English Law variant. However, there are a LOT of cases in that syllabus when compared with the global variant and it’s my experience that overseas students find great difficulty in remembering these case names. Additionally, those students that have failed in the English variant have sometimes then gone on to pass the global paper and seem to agree that global is “easier”
It’s up to you!
September 5, 2013 at 7:11 pm #139942Dear Sir, thank you very much for your valuable advice.also just advice me regarding study text is that enough OP Study material & video for F4-Global. Regarding Exam Kit(Question Bank) can I purchase KAPLAN Material. Is there any requirement for study text in addition to exam kit.
Thank you very much sir
September 6, 2013 at 4:11 pm #139982Sir Mike r u sure that english variant we are ikely to fail?
September 6, 2013 at 6:08 pm #139995Had I not started yet to study, I would definitely take ENG. I have never had time to sit F4 before, so sitting it now with F9 and P1. With all the other papers so far, OT has been amazingly important support and I really thank OT and BPP exam kits of passing all the exams on first attempt and with good margin.
And now I was stupid enough to pick a variant that has no OT lectures.. I really struggle with my F4 studies at the moment, and I even had specialization in law when doing BBA. I do not really believe that F4 GLO would be horribly difficult to pass, but I am very worried about my own motivation with the subject. The study text is as attractive as cold porridge, as we say in my country..

September 6, 2013 at 7:48 pm #140005Ninska – there’s about 60% of the global law covered by the English variant lectures. The additional bit which you will need t know is arbitration, international organisations and international sale of goods. Don’t panic!
September 6, 2013 at 10:32 pm #140012I am sorry sir Mike.. 🙁
September 7, 2013 at 5:08 pm #140038Hmmm – OK Sweetypie – you really need to be careful when you “quote” other people! If I hadn’t seen your post and responded when I did, who can tell how many other students could have read it and assumed that that was really what I said!
Never mind, damage controlled (I hope)
