Strategy

Good Afternoon,

Firstly I just wanted to thank Opentuition for being an amazing resource. I have started ACCA from the F4 stage and for the F papers I was going to classes and still using Opentuition as I find the explanations of concepts here are much more in depth and helpful. For my P Papers I have used only opentuition, Kaplan knowledge books and Kaplan question books and have done well so far.

Last time round I failed my final paper ACCA P4, I think the reason I failed was because I just didn’t try hard enough which is fair.

So here we are, 8 full studying days until the exam (which is effectively 8 x 10 hours of studying may I add as I am off work until the exam now) and I have myself in a pickle over how to pin this one down (you’d think that I’d have learned by now but I still am not sure).

In terms of where to go from here, I think I have 4 options:-
1. Get the P4 syllabus on ACCA website and start to go through it from section A learning all the syllabus areas 1 by 1.
2. Take the Kaplan complete text and start working through the chapters, taking notes along the way.
3. Take the Kaplan question book and follow the “revision plan”, learning anything I don’t know along the way.
4. Give up now and admit defeat………………..

I was hoping for your opinion (and possibly that of others) as to what you think would be the best and most efficient strategy forward was.

Can I just add that I done well on F9 so have the fundamentals and considering this is a resit, I have knowledge there on the big topics (NPV, Valuations and risk management (kind of)).

Thanks in advance,

Michael
