Hi Craigo, need some advice... Got my E1 exam on monday. Ive been using my tuition provider (BPP's) study materials and been smashing their practice questions/mocks. However, my confidence has been hit because ive tried some questions on proctor vue and some of the questions are almost unrecognisable. I notice the proctor vue questions are from 2019 syllabus so not sure if some of them are out of date. What are your recommended sources of practice questions?

Hey mate, I used to find the same with BPP, very impressed you're still passing! Always found BPP questions alot tougher than the real exams. I used to study with Kaplan, purely for this reason. At the time (Not sure if they still are) but Kaplan were the partner tuition provider of CIMA and I always found the questions alot closer to the real thing. I even came across a handful of questions that were exactly the same! Hope this helps & good luck on Monday!

@CRAIGO10
Жыл бұрын
Absolutely! I used to create condensed notes for every module (max 10 pages). Enables extremely quick active recall, although less valuable for Strategic level than operational level. Still gave me the comfort that I knew the material going into each exam. I personally wouldn’t do two at the same time. You can spend the same amount of time but just do individually, you’ll essentially need double learning capacity! Up to you though what you do 😄 Hope this helps!

Thank you CRAIGO for your swift response. Great tips - very grateful. I think it will be a great idea to have the group you talked about. I think a video on the study materials and tuition providers you used will be very helpful too. Did you do self-study? which resources? which tuition provider did you use? And your recommendations? Because I started with BPP study text and at a point, I found it boring and lost the tenacity to continue my studies. So, I decided to switch to Kaplan On-demand annual package and I must confess, Kaplan really got back my drive and head back on track. But, it won't be bad to get some recommendations from you as well.

Good video, thank you! Would you be okay if you could do a video where you detail how you revised a topic. Just choose one as an example not all of them .. such as ABC Costing in P2 (or any other one of your choice) and how you revised it, like did you make notes from the textbook and then practice questions or did you watch a lecture and make notes then refer to the textbook for further reading only. Or did you make all notes for whole syllabus before doing any practice questions? Just asking as I struggle with the anxiety that I have too much to do and can’t handle it but when I ended up passing the paper I don’t know why I struggled as seemed not too bad. I think it is my technique and how I want to pass so quickly cause this. Just want to know how you approached it and if you could show us in real time or broken down video? I know all approaches are different but if you could share yours could be really helpful especially as you passed all first time and really quick which is an amazing achievement btw, congrats!

Thank you for the message Khan! More than happy to do that, the only problem is I don't have any revision material anymore & therefore unable to dig out an example from the textbook & make it meaningful. My approach was fairly simple though; 1. Reviewed each topic & took high level notes (two weeks) 2. Once fully reviewed I began doing the online exercises and practice questions. 3. Then it was about memorising everything & getting enough question practice where required. I have a video coming out next week which I walk through my 3 stage exam strategy, will be available next Thursday, I think it could really help you :) On your point regarding anxiety, give yourself enough time to learn the material & if you need to push the exam back by a week then so be it. Don't rush, put in the time & revision required & you'll be just fine. I never went to an exam not feeling like I didn't know the whole syllabus.

Generally I find it much easier to learn practically rather than just reading or listening to information but there doesn't seem to be much practical learning in this...... I see you mentioned Kaplan in a response to another comment. Are the course materials very different to what Astranti provide?
