Honestly speaking you don't need books to pass F1 F2 and F3. These are the knowledge level papers and you can easily score good it them by just doing some mock exam questions( just google and you will find tons of them). My suggestion is not to waste time on books 

but as you know, 2013 format is different, many PYQ is not relevant anymore.
Isnt it?

Anyone has P5 lecturer notes?

Hi Baby Girl,

Have you discovered OpenTuition.com yet? It is dedicated to providing all accountancy students throughout the world with the resources they need to study for the major accountancy qualifications, completely free of charge.

ACCA P5 Advanced Performance Management

I know. I just try to see local lecturer notes here.
I study BPP myself for 1st attempt. I resit for dec 2013 as 2nd attempt. 

If I were you, I'd probably review the P5 past exam papers and sample answers. Have you asked accountant Blofeld regarding this matter?

Hello guys,

if I just do the PYQ for F1-F3, will I pass?
I dont want to buy the text book because it is expensive.

p/s anyone got PYQ F1-F3 for 2013? I want to buy
if textbook cheap, I buy also.

Haha

Exactly, I would look at the PYQ too.

To me, lecture notes are useless.

Babygirl, what you need are: textbook + revision kit + PYQ.

Practice, practice, and practice...

Practise the same question over and over again....that's the key.

Hi, when will be the last date for the early exam register date for the coming Dec 2013 sitting?

guys...how to score in F4,5 and 6?I want to get 1st class OBU..

F4 and F6 are straight forward and you can easily score above 75 by just practicing as many questions as possible. F5 is a kind of tough paper, but if you have a good technique and if you have practiced a lot of questions and provided you haven't left out any syllabus area, then scoring in F5 is also not difficult.
