I attempted ACCA F1(Accountant in Business) exam in december 2007. What surprised me the most is that quite a number of exam questions are based on the knowledge which I have never studied before. To be honest, I diligently studied Kaplan textbook for this module. It actually covers quite a lot of topics in its 600 over pages altogether but i feel it does notcover enough topics for the exam. I have checked with my friends who attempted the same exam and they did have problems too.
Many questions that came across my mind during or right after the exam.
Many questions that came across my mind during or right after the exam.
- Are those exam questions which I did not know how to answer really in the context of the syllabus?
- If they are not, what is the purpose of the examiner?
- If they are, why Kaplan textbook does not cover them?
- Is an acca student supposed to study more than one textbook?
I attempted f1, f2 and f3 in december 2007 and my expectation before the exam was that f1 would be the easiest among them but it turned out to be totally wrong. Well that is the case with me at least!

Hi,
I have had the same experience. I found out from a friend that the Kaplan books are all being pulled because they were so bad this season and are being redesigned. I have started using another company - get through guides and they are much better. they cover the ACCA syllabus learning outcome by learning outcome so I am much more confident that I know everything. Good luck with the next exams
I just hope that they improve for the upcoming seasons. :)
