Yes @ifeoma I think you'll be the P7 group leader :)

for all here till next Thursday, if anyone have any recomendations for the revision group, please write it for Opentuition admen, we appreciate your advices, how to start in correct way, without waste our time

Wow Hamdy! You have just posted this above and messaged me for advice to make sure that you don't collectively waste your time. That's certainly put me on the spot! I suppose first things first - are you all committed to reading a study text (and is it the same text?) If you want my personal input on that point - I wouldn't be committed to such a struggle. However, if you collectively wish to do it then let the majority make that executive decision. It seems that Ifeoma has been elected as leader (congratulations Ifeoma!) You need a standard hour (or two) repeated every week. The in-between time is for you to read the sections / chapters / articles that Ifeoma directs and the first part of your weekly group session will be to discuss any problems / issues that you had with the previous week's reading. My own (very limited ) experience of this type of group working is that most of the input is left to just one or two participants whilst the remainder sit back and enjoy the ride. To get over this, Ifeoma, you should delegate the responsibility to the members of the group on a rotational basis so that each one of the group of ten leads a session (not enough weeks for everyone to take two weeks' leadership :-( ) Whereas each participant will lead at least one group session, Ifeoma should be the one responsible for specifying the reading for the forth-coming week If at any time any one of you feels that progress is not being made, or not being made fast enough .... cast aside your inhibitions and be prepared to email Ifeoma personally direct with your concerns ([email protected]). Be polite - remember, Ifeoma is doing this voluntarily - and invite her response either individually or through a group discussion about your suggestion. But don't waste time on the discussion - a quick input from each of you in turn, maybe a supplementary turn each, and then a quick vote Ifeoma, IF the group is committed to reading through the text (Heaven help you all!) then count the number of chapters, decide how many weeks you wish to spread this reading exercise over, divide one by the other and that's your reading list sorted. You can do it by counting the pages and dividing by the weeks - some chapters will be longer than others! If there is not a group commitment to get through a study text, then get suck into the opentuition course notes and a reputable revision kit. The course notes should take no longer than 2 hours simply to read through. Do that exercise probably three times over the first three weeks (possibly four times!) Listen to the lectures until you're sick of hearing my voice Then get stuck into the revision kit. It's possible that some of you are using BPP where others are using Kaplan or GTG or ATC or Emile Woolf or ....... So maybe better to download from the opentuition website the ACCA copy of the past 10 exams (4 weeks of note reading and discussion and 10 weeks of past exam studying and discussion) + 3 weeks personal revision = 17 weeks = exam time (nearly) If you download the ACCA exams, you'll all be working with the real deal and not some adapted question that has been amended by the various different publishers Will that do? If you have any further questions, post again. But remember, I have no experience of studying in this way so caveat emptor! (It means "let the buyer beware" - you get what you pay for and since you're not paying me you have no claim against me if things go wrong! Which hopefully they won't

Hamdy - having answered this, I was disappointed to see that you've posted on the Ask the Tutor page as well. Please, only post a question once, not multiple times

Really thanks Sir for the quick reply, and the perfect (huge) advices as usual And to not waste our time, I’ll start with the most important advice by you Sir

really good advices my plan if we need to finalize the notes on 4 weeks, so we need to finished the first 4 chapters then we'll meet next Saturday or Sunday here to do a quick revision if you agree please confirm by replying here

sorry for that I've no experinces

Me, the leader . Ok, I need to breathe first

Plz kindly include me on the WhatsApp group for P7. My email is [email protected]

Plz this is a good idea and as such it should be started on time. I will be expecting your quick action on this

we will start the revision next Saturday and Sunday (one hour every day) you should read good the first 4 Chapters on Opentuition notes then we will came here on a new thread and start (for one hour) two things; 1) quick discussion about if anyone have a question on the first 4 chapters 2) every one try (as a good practice) to write a small sentences (some points), summarized the first 4 chapters and don't worry we will just try, and do more practices wait your confirmation, and recomendations about the time

I am interested to join the group. [email protected]

You'll soon realise that the notes are skeleton - they are fleshed out (sorry if any of you are vegetarians!) by the recorded lectures. There are one or two areas where the lectures are not bang up-to-date such as mandatory rotation of auditors and the requirement of tendering In addition, all of you individually should be subscribed (it's free) to www.accountancyage.com. It's a daily publication and invariably has at least one article of relevance to P7 Finally, you should all be regular readers of the IASPLUS website which keeps you up to date with what's going on in the World of changing ACCOUNTING standards

Hamdy - yes - just so long as you get through the notes thoroughly and then get stuck into past question

Dear Sir Will you believe me if I say that, I know a lot of persons pass this exams with just Opentuition notes and more practices revision kit (I swear), so for me; 1) now I just read quickly the LSBF notes (June 2014 verision) 2) I'll study well (as I can) your brilliant Opentuition Course notes 3) I'll do more practices with BPP revision kit (Dec 2014) 4) read/ memorize as possible as can on BPP passcards (Dec 2014) I will not do any more, and I think it’s enough :)

for your info I've failed a lot because I was verey busy at my work + family issues (wife and kids) so I wish to pass this time

ifeoma, if you ask the group for their preferred times like say you offer them to choose an hour on Saturday or Sunday between say 5pm and 10 pm UK time, you could well finish up with 20 different preferences. May I suggest that before you invite the group to state their preference ;-) that you restrict choices down to 2 specific times on a Saturday and 2 specific times on a Sunday For example, the Saturday times to choose from are 6 pm and 8 pm UK time and the Sunday times to choose from are 5 pm and 7 pm You might even give a choice of a morning time so Saturday could be 10 am or 5 pm and Sunday could be 11 am and 6 pm (all UK times) Just a suggestion Good luck

I will suggest we choose Saturday 7-8pm and Sunday 6-9pm UK times.

Hey I've read a post by Ifeoma regarding this recommendation today but now It has disappeared ???!!!!!!!!! what's the issue :)

@muyeyomidav said: I will suggest we choose Saturday 7-8pm and Sunday 6-9pm UK times.

I agree with this suggestion

@mikelittle said: For example, the Saturday times to choose from are 6 pm and 8 pm UK time and the Sunday times to choose from are 5 pm and 7 pm

also I agree with that finally we need start by the next Saturday you should (all the group) finished the first 4 chapters of Opentuition notes also we should all of us ready for discussing those 4 chapters on our group meeting here (Saturday or/ and Sunday) what I mean by discuss is (ask questions about the difficult areas + practice our hand and mind by write a brief points of what we're learned / still remember of those first 4 chapters) after-tomorrow I'll creat a new thread ""P7 group revision – first session "" this thread will be the place for the revision (meeting) next Saturdy and/ or Sunday thanks
