    i did pass f2 f3 in which i followed the OT lectures + notes + bpp revision kit.
    Now i decided to do f1 and f4.

    F2 F3 contains calculations and concepts ,which seems to me a practical paper.
    while F1 F4 is more like a theoretical paper with lot of theories to remember.

    My question is for papers like F1 F4 do we need to buy study text and go through it in detail for them or i just stick to the way i prepared for F2 F3 and no necessary of going thru the study text?

    bpp text is overloaded with so many informations that i fear how one can remember so many things. Kaplan seems to be okay a bit.So does knowing all this information really important for clearing F1 F4 paper.
    so plz advice,i want to score good in F1 F4.

    The most important element of exam preparation is practicing past exam style questions

    I suggest:

    – reading technical articles
    – read the course notes (at least 3 times and preferable once every week – it’s only 2 hours from front to back if you’re just reading rather than trying to “learn”)
    – watch the video lectures in so far as they are applicable to your chosen variant (English variant is 90% + covered, Global is 50% – 60% covered)
    – acquire an up-to-date revision kit from an approved publisher and practice, practice, practice over and over again and again and again (don’t write in the revision kit itself – write your attempts on a separate piece of paper)

    Where, in the above advice, do you see me recommending a study text?

    You’re right! I didn’t. Save your money
