    I need a little advise as I am new to OpenTuition.

    I am little bit confused how to approach the studding of P4. I started to read the book but it is a little bit difficult for me as I am not used to study straight from the book. So far I was always attending part time study at school where I was given notes and together with the lectures I was perfectly fine to pass my exams at the first attempt. I went to OpenTuition for some help but I see that the lecture videos do not even correspond with chapters in the BBP book.
    Should I read the book first and then go for these videos or is enough if I read the notes and watch the videos only and then go directly to revision kit? Do the notes and videos cover all the syllabus?

    We do not base our lectures round the BPP Study Text.
    Most of the main topics are covered in the lectures, but not all of the subsidiary topics (although a few more lectures will be added over the next few weeks).

    I would suggest using the lectures first and then using the Study Text to see more examples, and then – most importantly of all – to work through the Revision Kits and learn the approach and the style of questions from there.
