Guidance with Prepping for SP9

Hi,

I would like to start preparing for the SP9 exam for the September exam period. am a bit confused by the material. Any advice on how to go about it? There is the material pack, two textbooks and reference to IAA notes.
Anyone with advice?

A concerned student

 

I jumped right into the past exams.

Many of the generic risk questions you should be able to answer without even having looked at the notes, assuming that you have already passed/attempted CA1. If I came across questions that I did not know how to answer, I would consult the specific chapter/section in the course notes. I would also make summaries based on the past paper memos, which would help me answer questions from other past papers. You'd be surprised how much repetition there is.

I found this approach to be much quicker than reading through the prescribed books and notes.

Hope this helps

 

I personally found an SP9 tutorial to be very helpful. The tutor already summarises the important stuff in the slides and you also have some great exam technique preparation along with questions.

Otherwise what I would do is to summarise the notes. For each chapter there is a "task list", ensure you read the material and make a summary of the important information. As mentioned above, these are helpful when answering past exam questions.

 

Thnaks. I'll start by looking at the papers for guidance

 

Thank you so much Anna. Going through the material so far, making a summary putting all the resources together while going through the material for the first time. I hope i will have enough time to cover as many papers as possible
