    Hi Guys,

    Probably get asked this Question often but can’t see anything that helps on the forums.

    I sat F8 in June and used BPP Textbook, practice kit and passcards. Briefly used to Open Tuition lectures to break me into it.

    I found the BPP textbook to be a bit complex in parts and it was incredibly comprehensive, maybe too much to the point it makes me panic and takes far too long to read a chapter (I’m a slow reader).

    While I know it’s going to be a tough exam and I’m not looking for an easy route, I’m wondering if Kaplan textbooks and revision kits are perhaps a better option?
    I’ve heard they are more concise and to the point. They give you the information you need to know to pass the exam well just with not as much jargon and ‘padding’.

    So basically, can i get opinions on what textbook would be most recommended for Paper P1 – Governance, Risk and Ethics please?

    Cheers guys!

    Oooooo… Reli ???

    Am in the same problem here … I guess the advise still holds
    Because I did sat for F6 , whilst waisting my time on needless BPP jagons learning and extensive/ broad calculation ending me to fail …
    Mean while all my friends using Kaplan did passed easily

    Now I used just open tuition lecture notes and some technical articles + mock exams only ( bpp ) to pass my f6 tax
