self studying

Hi,

I’m a full time self study student. I haven’t gone for any revision course neither have I gone for any tuition course. I am sitting F8 in June 2014. I seldom have access to the internet and we can’t download F8 lectures for OT so I’ve not watched a single F8 lecture of OT. I simply just have past exam papers and marking schemes and answers from the ACCA website downloaded on my machine.

All I do is look at a question, look at an answer (well I study it very carefully and reach each line like 2 – 3 times) and try to memorize/remember what I’ve read. Is this OK? Will this technique grant me a pass?

Well, I’ve got the examiner’s trail in deficiencies questions and substantive procedures. I.e. I’ve got her thought process and I usually have similar ideas. But I’m very worried that this only will not grant me a pass. Is there a chance of passing like this?

Also, I do the same for F9 (however, there Mr. Moffat has said that my technique would be “sensible”) so is it the same case for F8?

I usually access OT through the cyber cafe as I live in a third wold country.

Thanks,

Gabriel.
