    I don’t know what you mean by the ‘app textbook’ !!

    You cannot be tested on graphs for variance analysis in the exam. My lectures cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well and you don’t really need a text book.
    The book that is essential is a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, because they contain lots of exam standard questions for practice, and practice is vital to passing the exam.

    thank you very much for the reply, your lectures are indeed so useful and helpful, i meant to say the BPP textbook. I like to read as well as an extra. I also do the revision kit exercises as well since that is when i actually learn or be able to test whether i have learned or understood. I am very grateful for the lectures and i plan to do F9 as well this march which without your lectures i would not have tried.

    I thought you were meaning about being asked to draw graphs – that is not possible in the exam.
    The BPP question you refer to (and there is only one with a graph) is not testing that you have learned graphs (it is not a standard graph) but is simply a neat way of checking you understand variances.
