    just finished P1 with expensive tuition fee, and always late in class due to work and long distant school, now moving on with P3 but intended to self study,is Opentuition course notes be sufficed? As described in text below, I am a bit concerned..

    “Note: These course notes are not meant to replace study texts. To succeed in your exam, you need to get updated Revision kit from an ACCA approved publisher.”

    study text + exam kit is 57 pound, is it worth it? thanks!

    Alternatively I was thinking of Distance Learning Online from Kaplan..

    Thanks for your advice! 🙂

    Hi maxkhoon…I only used opentuition notes and kaplan exam kit. I also bought the study text but i never used it during my studying. I believe the notes are more than enough.

    I have got duplicate study materials from Kaplan, they are brand new and unused, I am selling for £50, RRP is £69. I have the following for P3:

    Complete Text
    Exam Kit
    Pocket Notes

    I wouldn’t attempt an exam without them.

    Please let me know if you’re interested 🙂

    I passed both P1 and P3 at second attempt with videos only.
    I bought Becker’s study materials but just could not drag myself through the text, so EXTREMELY boring it was..
    By the way, I did not revise the materials between the exams. Kept forgetting the stuff for 6 months only to find my knowledge ‘to improve’. Funny..
