Hello,
I’m battling through the BPP revision kit and it’s come to my attention of how broad this syllabus is. Probably more so than PM even.
I want to understand as much as the concepts, techniques and arithmetic as possible. However, in addition to all this, there is so much pure knowledge that could be examined in section C that I don’t know where to begin (which is where my concern is at and is the essence of this thread).
I see that Section C could be on either:
*Management working capital
*investment appraisal
*sources of financeDo you have any knowledge on whether the exam in June will likely examine a favoured two here and say, leave Sources of Finance out? Because Sources of Finance is a bit advanced I sense.
You see I can understand the concepts, but this syllabus is so broad that by the time one gets back round to looking at what was looked at a few weeks ago, it’s almost forgotten.
I’m also now trying to commit to memory through rotational learning, the pure knowledge such as “techniques of managing trade receivables” because I’ll struggle to word it out with my own words. I won’t be able to cover everything (through RL), so I’m kind of looking at this on a probability basis as to what is mostly likely to be examined… I guess I’m kind of hoping it will be managing working capital and investment appraisal.
Any tips here would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

The exam structure indicates that Section C will primarily focus on working capital management, investment appraisal, and business finance & WACC.While these areas are emphasised, it is important to note that other topics, including sources of finance, can also appear in Section C questions, but they will not be substantial parts of the questions.
To effectively prepare, consider focusing on the key concepts and techniques within these areas, while also reviewing the essential knowledge related to sources of finance. Not leaving it!
Utilising rotational learning can help reinforce your understanding, but ensure you allocate time to revisit all topics periodically to retain the information.
Ultimately, while you may have preferences for certain topics, being well-rounded in your preparation will enhance your confidence and readiness for the exam.
Best of luck!May 22, 2025 at 9:08 am #717407Yes understood. Thank you sir.
