Hello,
I am working through the foundation modules using Kaplan, but the study timetable wont fit for me for F4, so I’m considering self teaching. I was just wondering how long you would give/have given yourselves to complete F4 assuming you were working full time at the same time. I was thinking 3 months? Is is just exam asssesed like F1-F3?
In case anyone was wondering if lessons were worth the money, I’ve been doing their ‘live online’ and I haven’t found the lectures that useful except they make me more organised because I know how far I should be along in mountain of memorisation. I think without them I’d get to 2 weeks before the exam and realised I’d hardly opened the book. My employer is paying, but if they weren’t I’d probably hold off and only pay to be taught for harder modules, its way to pricey just for the sake of being organised.
Hi, I’m considering the same thing as you of whether to take their tuition class or not, it’s really pricey and I did not get any sponsorship. May I know if you purchase F4 study materials from Kaplan or anywhere else? Have you started your self-study and do you find if it’s enough?
Hello,
I underestimated it – I studied for 2 weeks after work and at the weekend and failed (48%). I am now going to give myself 4 weeks before I resit it !
Hi. Can anyone help tell me what variant to study for F4? Global variant or English variant ?
Thanks in advance. =)I think that the question – How long to learn something? – is always difficult to answer as everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds, I personally spent a few months trying to get to grips with this Law unit, and will be attempting the CBE tomorrow.

Thanks in advance. =)I am also wondering what to study for F4? The Global or English variant? I hope we will get the answer soon as I just passed the last paper of the knowledge module and now ready for the skills module.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for all the replies. Aniebabe as you say its a difficult question, I just wanted a ballpark figure really, so thanks iratis. Emily I am yet to start but I have been told BP are better than kaplan in terms of explaniation, which I think might be useful when self teaching. I have only studied with Kaplan so I can’t compare but far their tutors have been very good at answering my questions and their material does explain concepts very well.
I passed with 57% last week in Glasgow, read the text book before Dec 2012 exam, thought it was too difficult and gave it up, then restarted one month ago when I realised that it was not so difficult as I thought. downloaded and printed Mike’s notes and went through the lecture videos twice, then bought a BPP review kit and got familiar with most of the syllabus, still needed to work in daytime, so only slept 4 hours per day one week before the exam. during the exam I took 1 hour to finish and another 1 hour to check the results, stayed in the exam room until the last minute.
Hi Emily
I sat my F4 Global Variant last May. I studied for 2 and half months (full time working and including few long week ends off) I used BPP text book and Exam kit, however I found the most useful material for my success OT lectures. I actually read all the text book but I found it too long and sometime too much details.
If you study F4 Global I would suggest using the book for the first part and then lectures for company law.I have been practising as many questions as possible, sometimes the same questions several times. Once I went through all material I used to listen to the lectures when I had some times available. It found it very useful to memorize the topics in more efficient way.
One more thing, I found very useful to use the Tutor Forum, either to ask questions when I had any doubts or to learn from other students’ quesions.
I hope this can help and good luck with your studying.
