How do I approach P6 UK for June 2018? I have bought a new kaplan text which is ovet 1100 pages, I am completely stuck seeing the size, can someone shed some light!
Since there are no OT videos, how about waytching LSBF old finance act videos? Would it be a major disaster watching those outdates videos?I haven’t done P6 yet but I have done F6 and used the Kaplan textbook for that which is a similar size. It was by far the biggest textbook for any of my 11 exams so far.
However, it is that size because it has a lot of worked examples, which are laid out in a table format so take up a lot of space. So don’t be put off by the number of pages – yes, it’s a big book, but if the examples weren’t so big it would be a similar size to the other books.
There are lots of rules and exceptions to the rule to learn for tax, but you have 2 and a half months to study still so don’t be put off.

Since there are no OT videos, how about waytching LSBF old finance act videos? Would it be a major disaster watching those outdates videos?The problem you will have with old videos, is whether you have the same finance act. If the finance act is different as you are stating, it means that there will be significant differences, i.e Personal Allowances are different, there is no longer PAA, the treatment of interest and dividends are different( now treated as gross) etc….
I guess if you know what is different, it may not be a problem but it may be very confusing to learn the wrong approach.
The first thing is how good is your F6 knowledge, do you remember the basics? This is because P6 builds up on F6 and the kaplan book includes a lot of the F6 stuff again so if you know the F6 knowledge then a lot of the 1100 page book is recapped.The approach I used was to split the syllabus from kaplan into the 5 major taxes, capital gains, inheritance tax, income, corporation and VAT with small other areas too.
In each area, there were some basics from F6 which I somewhat recapped and then started to take notes for the P6 knowledge, such as for IHT/CGT, reliefs such as BPR and APR.
However, the most important factor was to spend time practising and understand questions as once you have gone through the knowledge it is easy to think you know how to apply it but there are so many different ways things can be tested, that getting as much practice as possible is key@paingainacc said:
Can you help me by providing kaplan exam kit for june 2018?Do not ask for electronic copies of books. This is illegal, unethical and against the rules of the forum. You have done this on several threads, you will be banned if you do it again.
If you want the book you need to buy it, or be given a hard copy by someone.
If I want to buy a soft copy of latest kaplan p6 exam kit, can you then help me to get it?
Not entirely sure what you are asking for here but you should be able to find either what you are looking for or something close to what you are looking for from the following link-

The above is the official Kaplan source.Hope this helps.I failed P6 four times. Please guide me how should i prepare for June sitting and I am also planning to sit for p7. Is it wiseful?
I would give it another go whilst fresh in your mind, If your result was marginal, between 45-49 then your exam technique is the obstacle.
For P6 focus on the key tax areas, CGT, IHT CT, VAT, as well as ethics, the differences on sole trader vs company rules – particularly basis periods & loss relief rules & when attempting a question, don’t just dive right into it, take some time to think about it, particularly if there’s a quicker way of calculating an answer, ie marginal tax saving rather than a full tax computation, etc.
Best of luck.
