Kaplan or BPP

Hi, Which one is better for CIMA or should we buy both? Thanks.

Don't buy both! They are both fine, but Kaplan has the official CIMA contract. You certainly need to buy a revision kit/question bank, but many students successfully use our free lectures and lecture notes instead of buying a study text.

Hi there, I have the Kaplan book including the revision kit. In chapter 7 the discounting and Investment Appraisal, i could not find the the PV table or Annuity Table in the work material. Thank goodness I found Opentuiton and could work from the tables provided in the lecture notes. Just to confirm these tables will be available in the exams? Also - as the exam is computer based, regarding calculations please let me know if i can access the online calculator to prep for the exam.

Thanks for the information. We do not proof-read other companies' material so I am sure students will find you comments interesting. If BPP books are ordered through this site you will get a 20% discount.

Can we only use the material available on open Tution, to do well in the exam?

You need to buy a revision kit/question bank to provide you with enough question practice, but many students successfully use our free lectures and lecture notes instead of buying a study text. Either Kaplan or BPP is fine but you get a 20% discount if you buy BPP books through this site.
