    Can someone please assist I am really desperate.
    I have failed Performance Management (PM). I’ve been using the IBTC Revision and Practice kid as well as the online BPP study notes.

    This is the 2nd exam where I feel that whatever I am studying I am not getting in the exam. I don’t even get 10% of the things in the exam that I study.

    Pls advise what to do? Do I need to study the open tuition notes as well as the IBTC Revision and Practice kid, I am not sure – everything is overwhelming with the studies as we do not know what is the best books to study from.

    Pls assist!!

    Why do you not watch our free lectures? The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    Hi John

    Thank you for the feedback. Should I then rather try a different approach and study the ACCA Open Tuition notes and free lectures like you said. And for practice, should I then just study the ACCA past papers or the IBTC revision kit or BOTH or Kaplan – I don’t know?

    I don’t know if the IBTC revision kit and BPP online notes is helping me at the moment, as I failed and felt that nothing came from there? I have never studied for a subject and felt that almost nothing in the exam came from those books?

    I would appreciate your guidance.

    I do not know who IBTC are, but I do know that they are not an ACCA approved publisher.

    If you choose to use our lecture notes and watch our free lectures, then we cover everything needed to be able to pass the exams well.
    You do need to have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – either BPP or Kaplan – because questions practice is so important.
    Both BPP and Kaplan include relevant past exam questions in their Revision Kits.
    (Not all past exam questions are relevant because of both syllabus changes and changes to the format of the exam – the Revision Kits only include those that are relevant 🙂 )
