    Hello Salman,
    If thats your first attempt,
    I recommend you to go throught the text book as it gives you all the required knowledge to apply in the qna bank by bpp.
    For auditing, just the knowledge isnt enough you should be able to apply it to a given scenerio. So one is linked with another.
    Hope this helps 🙂

    F8 is an important paper and has a global passrate of 35% Salman.
    Being able to pass you should have knowledge and ability to apply it, u cant get through if u fail to miss either of the two requirements.

    Read open tuitions notes and UNDERSTAND, memorising wont help as per examiner. And then practice the questions/past exam papers.

    I repeat mugging up the theory wont help you at all. You must understand it and its described shortly in open tuition notes. Better do that since exam date is near.

    Or else do 3 chapters daily, for six days(forget 417pages, focus chapter vise) and then practice as many questions as possible.

    -Stick to the plan of two-three chapters daily
    -Revise
    -And practice it!

    Key to pass is understanding and application 🙂

    I am sitting for f8 too. Hope we all pass!

    If you have any issues/doubts you can email me at xara_369@live.com and I shall help you if I can in a way it will be a revision for me too 🙂

    Good luck
