    Hi

    When i did F4 the open tuition lecturer said don’t write anything just read and re read and keep reading over and over until you know what is coming next. I followed his advice and passed- I never wrote anything before the exam.

    I was wondering would you- just read your notes and past acca exam questions and answers ( have already listened to lectures) and just keep reading over and over with the same thought that I will soon be able to know what is said in the next paragraph.

    Or would you write answers to questions – I have the bpp question and answer book?

    Just your thoughts please as I understand that F8 is a lot more about application that F4 was.

    Thank you

    I think it’s good to write answer plans to questions then compare your plan to what’s in the model answer. Concentrate on differences.
