You use only BPP revision kits? Not opentuition material? Not examiners' comments? Not extraneous material like www.accountancyage.com (that I keep recommending!)? Not IASPLUS.com (another one I keep recommending)? Just BPP revision kit Maybe you should be looking at other sources as well as BPP revision kit There's a P7 study group started ( first session was yesterday) on this site. Maybe you're not too late to joinin with that group for your P7 studies. I have no idea what the P5 tutor may recommend - post the P5 element of your question on the P5 Ask the Tutor page

Accountancy Age is a daily publication of articles many of which are suitable reading for an ACCA student in the throes of exam preparation. Here's a headline for an article in yesterday's edition: "CONFIRMED - Accountants are sexy beasts" Seriously though, this is the front page summary of yesterday's articles: East India Club reviews processes after £500k fraud The treasurer of the famous member's club transferred more than half a million pounds into one of his own account to feed his gambling addiction IASB confirms line-up of IFRS 9 implementation group The 12-strong panel includes members of the Big Four, along with representatives from Barclays, Bank of China and Deutsche Bank New masterclasses: FRS 102/cashflow/small biz accounting Accountancy Age expands on last year's successful masterclasses with new series of courses CONFIRMED - Accountants are sexy beasts Accountants are among the most interesting workers in the bedroom, apparently Deloitte dismisses HP claim plans as 'utterly without merit' HP plans to sue Deloitte over its auditing of Autonomy's accounts, lawyer tells court Tax clampdowns and audit squeeze behind drop in firms The number of registered firms falls 4% in 12 months Deloitte partner profits fall as modest growth posted Improved economy should see better growth in 2014/15, says senior Deloitte partner David Sproul" and the very main headline at the top of the page in banner print is: "Complaints against insolvency practitioners rise 25% Insolvency complaints gateway receives 941 complaints in year since its launch" Now, if you cannot find anything of interest in that lot (even if it's only to confirm that we, as a profession, are sexy beasts) then you need to get out more from your closeted environment As for IASPLUS - the site is chock-a-block FULL of news items concerning auditing and accounting standards, exposure drafts, discussion documents, technical commentaries ..... Don't concentrate on any one thing in particular, read, read and, read! It's got to be more interesting than the study text of any of the approved content providers!
