Hi I’m finding that your online lectures provide more detail that the notes.
1) Would it be ok to ignore reading the summarised notes and listening to your lectures instead?
2) would you do all the questions at the end of each chapter and then all the questions on the acca website?
3) would you bother reading study text or notes from another provider or should open tuition be sufficient to get a good pass?Thanks

It is in the lectures that I work through the examples in the notes, and explain and expand on the notes. You need to watch the lectures with the notes printed out in front of you. The notes alone are certainly not enough.
2 YesI don’t know what you mean by ‘the questions at the end of each chapter’ – there are examples in each chapter that again I work through and explain, in the lectures.
The questions on the ACCA website are not enough. You should buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they contain all relevant past exam questions and more exam-standard questions for practice. The more practice you get the better. This exam is harder than any exams you will have taken at university.
3 If you are watching all the lectures, then you don’t really need a Study Text (although the more reading you do the better). However you should also read all the technical articles on the ACCA website.
