    Hi Everyone,

    I am planning to give F8 in June 2014.

    I want to know from your experiences that is it sufficient to follow BPP Lecture, course notes and revision kit to clear this exam or do I must do Study Text instead of Course notes.

    Have to choose between study text and course notes of BPP.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards
    Nidhi

    I wouldn’t recommend BPP study text for F8. The language is difficult – in not way to understand it, but to remember and then write again.

    Although the Revision KIT BPP is awesome as for all papers.

    I do not suggest you use BPP study text and revision kit for F8. Not the language is difficult, but the content is very long-winded .
    As far as my experience , these will drive you crazy .
    Make good use of course note and past year papers.

    Hello. I am facing a similar problem as well.

    I have a BPP Study Text & Revision Kit and as described, the study text is pretty dull and taxing to follow.

    I also have course notes given by my lecturer but I feel that the notes don’t appear comprehensive.

    So, I’m in situation where I feel I don’t have a reliable study material and wish to seek for advice.

    Meanwhile, any opinions on OpenTuition F8 course notes?

    Tq.

    @Nick123 why don’t you just read few chapters of OT f8 notes and you can decide for yourself 🙂 anything you learn in the process will be useful 🙂

    and DO listen to live F8 lectures, they are more exciting than reading a study text..

    I have study text from London School of business and finance(lsbf) study text and revision kit. Revision kit explains everything in bullets & charts and study text offers whatever is needed in the exam. I liked them both.

    Obviously Bpp Study text and Kit is the best to pass F8 in first attempt.

    Thank you @opentuition_team for the recommendations and others for their comments (whether dedicated to me or in general).

    I did go through the OT notes for F8 and personally find it too brief? Then again, I am in no basis to comment since this is my first time being exposed to audit so whether a material is comprehensive or not, I’m really not sure hence intending to get feedback.

    Anyway, I’ve decided to just make use of all available resources that I have (hahaha) since there’s no harm. Maybe it’s time I stop being stubborn over sourcing the “right” material…

    So, I will be using BPP Study Text & Revision Kit, course notes and OT notes whenever applicable. Good luck everyone!

    Is there an online website to download the study text and revision kit?

    Are there any major changes in f8 2010 to 2014 in the text book?
