    i used kaplan text book and exam kit only, self studied and passed in 1st attempt.
    just make sure to do all the “test you understandings and questions in the last chapter if any”.
    make sure to do all the questions of the exam kit. i only did those questions marked as important ones in the exam kit. u can find them at the beginning of the exam kit.
    this much is sufficient and no need to go for bbp or other materials. the main thing u need is common sense in attempting the exam and there is no material or book to help u in this one. i saying it because being a book worm wont help. most of the questions in almost all the exams are scenario based and u need to use your brain to generate your own ideas in answering them.
    one tip to help u here. when i sat F4 i did not mention the specific cases by names and their dates in the exam. above all i generated cases on my own by implying that this case MAY apply to this scenario. my friends told me i will definitely fail as generating fictional cases will not help pls you need to give the names and dates of the specific cases. i was the only one who passed among my friends.
    Bottomline … the examiner wants to judge your presence of mind and not what you have crammed from various sources.
