    Hello everyone,

    How important is to study from an updated study text?
    Is it ok to use old books for example from 2010?

    What are your studying resources?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I think it is very important since with the help of updated study text you are in a position to have an overview of all the important changes that may have taken place in the text and courses. If there is any help that you require you can make use of the resources that can be extremely helpful for your understanding.

    It’s very important to study from an updated text book or dumps or other kinds of notes. Cima exams sets different papers on each exam. You really want a latest exam questions text book or else to pass your exam in first attempt.

    I have taken both approaches.

    I studied for the E3 exam using BPP 2010 syllabus book but had to supplement the knowledge from the Internet as there were some gaps between the textbook and the Acorn revision kit I bought (written for the 2015 syllabus).

    For the F3 and P3 exams I used Kaplan’s new study materials plus Kaplan and Acorn revision kits.

    I am glad I did invest in new study materials because I managed to pass all three OT’s first time.

    Good luck with your studies.

    It’s not important at all. You can always check all reuglations upadtes via internet on your own. Syllabus is always 100% same (just different unit names).

    That s a good new, on amazon or ebay I found books from 5 £ upwards, just from previous years..but if it s the same it s really worth it!!
