General ACCAHow to Study?

Rryitfc15y ago
I am looking at studying online this year as for the flexibility. I.e fitting in around work. I feel i need actual lectures each week so was looking at Kaplan and BPP live online classrooms which is a lot of money £400-£500 per paper.

Having come accross this site i notice they do free lectures so was thinking of just using the resources on here as well as text books, What i want to know is are the lectures on here comprehensive enough to cover the whole sylabus if not the majority? Does any one else study this way?
I will purchase the Kaplan complete text and exam kit.

@ryanbrowning,
Me personally i do self study all the time and I know seniors and affiliates who were doing self studies only and i can say it's possible to pass without paying those hundreds of pounds for tuition.
but it depends on how well u can organize your studies. whether you can start studying right now and regularly and whether you are not too much taken away with your job and family life.
If u know that you can organize self studies - i would say go for it.
OT lectures are not a comprehensive source of information. Though it's a great one and i would highly recomend you to benefit from it.

There are other free legal sources in internet.
And if u are going to have kaplan books , it will be quite enough.
additionally with OT you can use :
EXP - https://www.theexpgroup.com/expand/ (if the link doesn't work, go to homepage and click on expand window in buttom right corner )
Emile Wolf - https://emilewoolfpublishing.com/
additionally you can browse internet for other acca resources ;)
simply don't rely on one book and try to follow syllabus , which u need to download from acca website , because there is hardly any book that follows syllabus ideally. However by combining different resources you can get the full picture :)
good luck
