Sir, please advise, due to the tight schedule, I have two options, either listen to Online Kit (your lectures on past exam questions) or covering Kit of another provider (I have almost completed my old Kit). Which option would you advise?
And another question about exam. I make much mess when writing for long open questions, theoretical questions. Can I use a pencil not a pen for exam paper (so that to be able to erase) ?

You will not pass the exam from only studying past questions – the format of the exam has changed completely.

You must study the syllabus first and watch all of my free lectures – they are a complete course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

Then you must buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they contain lots of exam standard questions – and you must practice all of them.

If you do not have time to do this, then you would be better to delay taking the exam.

No – you cannot write in pencil. Everything in the exam has to be in black ink.

Thank you for your reply. Sir, I am near to complete Kaplan’s Kit exp. in June 2016, they said there wouldn’t be major changes for new edition.I am now just considering other provider kit but it’s exp. date is June 2015. I don’t want to fail so much. Will it be enough if I complete one kit and complete partially the other together with your lectures of course? Kits are expired but there are two of them. I know about structure change since September 2016. You mean this change, yes?

There is no real need to work through two revision kits.

Yes – by format change I mean the structure change. Your books are OK it is just that the current editions have questions in the style of section B of the exam (which didn’t use to exist).
