Which study text? — OpenTuition Forums

Aakte133714y ago

Hi all,

I just wrote F6 and F7 and my plan is to take F8 and P2 in June. I was wondering which study text you are using for your studies. So far I used the BPP study text but as I'm not a nativ speaker they are not always that easy to understand. For F6 I used the Kaplan text which I liked more...
My question now is what would you recommend? Should I buy BPP again, Kaplan or GTG?
It would be great if you can help me with that.
Thanks :)

Absolutely agree with Nokia. EW books are great, at least for skills level papers.
By the way EW books are easy to find and they are free so far.

If u want to spend money on something then for F8 go for BPP, kaplan will be useless for it.
GTG has many mnemonics, but i feel BPP text is organized better and covers syllabus fully.

The EW books seem to be for 2010?

Well, they are said to be 2011,
but honestly it does not matter much.
Even if u discover that some topics are missing you can always catch up with them using other books or technical articles.

Thanks for your help. But as DM already said, the EW books aren´t updated so far. I haven´t heard about them so far, are they good? Do you think for F8 the EW book is good enough or do I need to buy another book as well?
Ok, for P2 I will buy the Kaplan book but before I order it I will wait for the result ;)

What do you think about using the F8 book from GTG? Haven´t used GTG books so far but a friend told me that the books are well written and easier to understand.

As I´m not a native speaker it would be good to have a study book which is no sooo technical.

What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance for your help!
