the relation between f7 and f3 .

Don’t worry about the study text – it’s fine. Just make sure that IAS 41 Agriculture is covered.

I imagine IFRS 15 isn’t covered and instead it will include IASs 11 and 18. Both of those have now gone and been replaced by IFRS 15

Also, integrated reporting is now in F7 and is a new inclusion

Otherwise, substantially all the rest is the same as last year.

T get up to speed with those new bits, there are relevant chapters in the free course notes so personally I wouldn’t be inclined to spend my money with a new study text. Actually I probably wouldn’t look at the study text anyway – it’s too long, too boring, too detailed and way over the top for what you need

I think it’s a brilliant idea to watch John’s F3 lectures (from start to finish – you now have the time because you’re no longer spending all those hours ploughing through a study text!)

Then get stuck into the F7 lectures, work the examples, practice the mini-exercises at the end of the course notes, practice the past exam questions, particularly consolidations, preparation of financial statements, cash flows and interpretation questions

And attack F5 in the same way but follow John’s F2 lectures before you get into F5 – and the same comment applies to the F5 study text. All you need is within the resources on this site. If you desperately feel you need more, you can always look it up on the Internet

You MUST get hold of an up-to-date revision kit / exam kit for the exams. If you need, there is the availability of acquiring BPP material at a discounted price when you place your order through this site, but there’s no pressure on you there. If you prefers Kaplan, or any other material, then go for it

Finally, we aim to answer questions that are posted on the Ask the Tutor pages within 2 days maximum. It’s very often the case that we’ll get back to you within a few hours so, when you come across something that you don’t understand, post your question on this page and you’ll get your answer

Ok?

You’re welcome
