I passed CIMA E1 in first attempt with Kaplan self study and by following your lectures and guidance within the lectures.
Key is to focus on exam questions and only refer to the Study Text if struggle. It will save a lot of time. CIMA Aptitude Test 2 is a must. In exam I didn’t even bother to read the longer question and moved forward by flagging it and attempted it at the end.
But overall your lectures made me successful in the exam.
