    I need some study tips and advice regarding F4 (Eng). I am failing to remember the content matter and details even after watching the topic lecture videos and reading the course notes.
    I am doing the questions from the latest Bpp Practice & Revision kit but i am doing so poorly in solving the questions (seeming as if i have not studied at all!) I am still left with section B and D of the syllabus but will complete them by 30th June.

    I plan to give my exam within/after 2 weeks and I have to pass this exam in my first attempt. I kindly request for guidance. Would really appreciate it! Many thanks in advance!

    Endless hours of repetitive practice with the revision kit questions

    Pick a section / topic

    Try the questions (and presumably get many of them wrong)

    Pick a second section / topic

    Try the questions and, again, get many of them wrong

    Now go back to the first topic and try those questions again – this time you should get fewer of them wrong

    Now pick a third topic and try the questions – again, you’ll get many of them wrong

    Back to section 1 followed by section 2

    Now pick section 4, followed by 2 and 3

    Now 5 followed by 3 and 4

    And keep going like that

    Never mind studying sections B and D of the syllabus – go straight into the revision kit to practice the questions

    You’ll be lucky to score more than 20% first time through but you’ll be up to 40% after two tries, 60% after the third time through and then the sky’s your limit – technically 100% is your limit but you know what I mean

    The key is endless hours of repetition going over the same questions multiple times

    Boring? Tiring? Exhausting?

    Yes, for sure it’s all three

    But the more you can face this endless drudgery, the better your chances of attaining a good pass

    And post again on this page when you feel the need

    OK?
