Hi
I am currently using the kaplan study text and the kaplan exam kit along with your tutorials. I also sit my exams at the Manchester kaplan exam centre.
I find your tutorials really help but there is a lot of material covered in the text book that aren’t covered in your tutorials.
My question is would i be better of just studying through your tutorials and the exam kit as the text study book is quite thick and with the F3 exam it left out a lot of the material. I think i’m making the study process to complex and it is not structured.
In university or collage you are taught what is going to be in the exam and i know a lot of people who have passed the exams just using opentuition.
It is also taking me far too long to get through the whole study text and it is not structured so if studying online via Kaplan like me you have to learn the whole book as you don’t know what areas will be in the exam.
My friend goes to a University for lectures and she said that they are told what to study and focus on and what to skip. Does the Kaplan study manual go into too much detail for what is needed for the exam
Kind regards
Claire
The Kaplan Study Text does go into a lot more detail than is needed to be able to pass the exam (and so too does the BPP text). The reason is that they have to cover themselves against people complaining, and cover every possible thing that could be asked in the exam, however unlikely they are to be asked.
Our approach (which is the same approach as all tutors use on courses) is that we cover more than enough to be able to pass the exam well. It would be unusual for there to be anything in the exam that we do not cover in the lectures, but even if there were things they would only be very few marks out of the total.
The lectures are more than enough to pass the exam well, provided that you also have a Revision Kit (or Exam Kit, which is Kaplan’s name for it) and practice every question in it. Practice is vital to passing the exam, and if you come across any question that you are not clear about (or anything in the lectures that you are not clear about) then do ask in this forum and I will explain 🙂
