Hi
I am planning to sit P4 in December. I am going to buy distance learning and attend a revision course.
Do you think that it is better to buy tuition and then revise at home on my own or better to do what I am planning – read at home and then but revision course.
I believe the best option would be to but the whole course but I have to choose. So please advice what to do.
Thx
August 23, 2011 at 6:58 am #87175if you can manage your time and cost then go for full course tuition..
taking classes and revising on daily basis at home will make you to pass P4!
Mind it P4 is very technical paper but it is easy to pass also..
Grasp concept and practice practice practice but not blind practice π
Good LuckAugust 23, 2011 at 7:29 am #87176Hi
I wish I could go for a full course but unfortunately I can’t.
I decided to read at home and then buy revision course. I hope it will be enough. Obviously I will practice and I hope it will be enough.
Being honet when I read people’s comments about P4 I feel like I shoudl choose other subject !!!
August 23, 2011 at 9:07 am #87177yeah!! it looks much difficult but it is not…
Do it in your way and take it easy.. I am saying this because I have passed this paper in first attempt so everyone can do this π
August 23, 2011 at 10:08 am #87178Did you attend tuition and revison or just self study ?
August 23, 2011 at 1:29 pm #87179i attended tuition.. and home study
August 23, 2011 at 2:08 pm #87180I will do revision and home study and might be as lucky as you were : )

Cuteleo,
Very interesting thread. guessed we did revision together some diets back on F8, (very trickily and tough paper for me then). I look at sitting for P4,P5 and P2 this December, any advice?August 23, 2011 at 6:14 pm #87182Bomber
Do you work ? Because if you do I would suggest to do only two papers. People say that P4 is a very difficult one and P2 is not a very easy one.
August 24, 2011 at 10:39 am #87183i think P2 is more difficult.
P4, it’s heaven’s bless they fired bob, now the paper is back to normal acca standard. When i practiced revision kit, I simply skipped all bob’s questions.I used both Bpp and kaplan kits, and self-studied at full-time. would recommend Bpp this time, more like new examier’s style. I genuinely believed I failed? but actually passed with relatively high mark. Definitely, practicing questions is the best best way to pass.
August 28, 2011 at 9:49 am #87184Very interesting thread. I am on the last two optional papers and planning to take P4 and any other paper in December. which one of the three optional papers (P5, P6, & P7) shall I add to P4? I work full time and home study for all the past acca papers and will continue in the same manner for the remaining too. the other problem is I dislike Bpp which seems full of stuff and unnecessary details but have no option since no kaplan is available in Ethiopia this time. i lost confidence in reading Bpp as i used to read kaplan texts as i like its presentation and contenet very much. is there any difference to use either kaplan or Bpp kits?
August 29, 2011 at 6:55 am #87185Well same suggestion for all..
practice practice and practice but not blind practice…
study on daily basis..September 1, 2011 at 9:57 am #87186AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0

Yes i work and self study. I have gone through the P4 syllabus and like you suggested am winding down to 2 papers. (P2 and P5). I feel scared of P4 because of the many formulas and assumptions and I bet, it would require a lot more practice. I hope to write P4 in June next year and then…………will be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
September 2, 2011 at 10:56 pm #87187I think it is a right decision !! I am doing P4 and P5 this time and I am really scared of P4 !! But thanks to Cuteleo110 I believe there is a chance for a pass : )

study on daily basis..What do you mean by blind practice ?
September 26, 2011 at 7:36 am #87189@ flower
blind practice means remembering the answers and steps from kit like a parrot…
such practice does not work in exam!! as there come new questions not from kit..
so conceptual practice will help there…October 10, 2011 at 1:43 pm #87190hi guys I am thinking to go with LSBF Online Revision classes for P4 are they good Never had experience with LSBF Please guide me Thank you
