How to be prepared for F4

There is no such thing as a standard time allocation for studying – every student is different both in their learning and retention abilities and in their private lives and motivation

Study text? Save your money

Revision kit? ABSOLUTELY yes!

Watch the lectures, read the notes (you can read those notes start to finish in around 2 hours – just reading, not trying to memorise

Read those notes at least once each week

Open a revision kit and start trying to answer questions. You will have no idea of the correct answer so be prepared to score less than 20%

Try those same questions a week later and be prepared to score around 40%

Try them again a week later and you’re up to around 60%

Do that for all the questions in the revision kit – practice, practice, practice

Keep reading those course notes and watching the lectures

Do NOT write your answer attempts in the revision kit – write them on a separate piece of paper so that your later attempts at those same questions will not be influenced by your earlier attempts

And, whenever you come across something that you don’t fully understand, post your question on this forum and I shall get back to you

OK?
