🎯 Check out the notes I used that helped me pass my BPT exam: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LukeJamesUK

[@azuka7161]

Hi Luke, no BPT note. Please, could you update the website for BPT note?

[@RachaelGuest]

Sitting BPB next week and in full panic mode so thought I would check this out just in case it might be helpful. Sounds like a very similar exam in terms of format and your video was really useful

[@ThePeaceAround]

Another tip I found really helped me, was creating my own index to look up page numbers in the open book, so it was really quick to get to the page needed

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Yep amazing suggestion forgot to mention that so thanks for raising it!!

[@chipsaregreat11]

Ooh this is a really good idea, thank you!

[@raphiki1173]

Thank you Luke! Been watching each of your videos for ICAEW, going to Advanced Level now! Your tips are always spot on, super appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@scrublord_val]

Got the exam tomorrow, absolutely bricking it. Came to this for last minute tips as I honestly haven't practiced much for it as I've been focusing on my TC resit. Glad to hear you're allowed to bring in model answers for other questions, will be bringing in the mock we were given and a few more. Hopeing that will help me get through it!

[@HtheKing]

how did it go?

[@scrublord_val]

@@HtheKing 69% :) found out last week. Actually did worse in my TC resit getting 61% lol.

[@HtheKing]

@@scrublord_val congrats! I'm going to start my aca grad scheme at the end of summer and I'm slightly nervous. Is it really as hellish as people say?

[@scrublord_val]

@@HtheKing I've done mine so far as a part of a uni course, so it's a bit easier as welonger to learn the modules. I failed TC twice and failed my second FAR exam but they were completely my fault. With the correct amount of work it is really not that difficult at all. I've not struggled with any exam that I've actually put the work in beforehand. Got my FAR2 resit in a month so just started revising now, should be fine. I have two friends doing it all as part of apprenticeships and they say that it is difficult alongside work but sounds very doable, just have to work on time management. I will say I'm not looking forward to the last 3 exams that I will have to do alongside work once I finish uni, but that is because I'm a terrible reviser lol.

[@HtheKing]

@@scrublord_val ahh do you get exemptions as part of your uni course? I did too but I joined a firm after uni which doesn't take the exemptions, so I need to take all the exams again ffs lol

Hi Luke, thanks a lot for this video!

[@azamchaudhry9406]

Hi mate, loved the video. Was focusing too much on workbook notes but now just changed my whole approach to just doing question bank practice. Really nervous but I think this approach will be better. Keep up the great videos!

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Amazing! Best of luck for the actual exam Azam!! 😀

[@jamesk1564]

Super helpful, thanks Luke!

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Happy to help!

[@sarahanne269]

Thanks for the video and tips! BPT is so hard! - also doing BST and FM this December, however I definitely prefer these two over BPT! Can you do a video, on how you structure your revision time and how you keep motivated to revise? Its a struggle having to balance work life and study! and I often feel extremely burnt out and exhausted by the end of the working day/week.

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Absolutely planning to release a few more videos on how I study and am productive whilst balancing a full time job in the next few weeks! Thanks for the support Sarah!

Sitting BPT and BST in September 2021. Just finished study week and felt pretty sick....found this video very reassuring! Thanks

I’m in same scenario as you with BPT and BST locked in for September. Good luck, I know i need it

[@alecdolman598]

Hi mate, I'm studying for BPT in December thanks for the vid! Also seen in another video you studied a Maths degree, same as me too haha! 😁

Sitting BPT and BST in Dec. Currently looking for hope. Found this channel 😂😂😂

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Best of luck! Let me know how the exams go? Keeping my fingers crossed for you

[@chipsaregreat11]

Found this procrastinating revision! I am doing BST and BPT beginning of June and absolutely bricking it! But you are making me feel very calm about it so thank you! I am struggling with getting my open book together, feel like my notes are all over the place. But I have never thought about the question bank but they are all online this set of exams, do you recommend printing some of the ethics ones off?

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Hey Kate best of luck for your exams! Yes I defo recommend printing off the ethics questions to take in!!

[@HtheKing]

how did it go?

[@karlasimpson2204]

Thanks for the video Luke, really useful! Is there any specific way that you recommend we tab up our course notes?

[@hyweltheowl]

Super helpful :) thank you!

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Glad it was helpful!😀

[@saranyasku]

Hey Luke, thanks so much for these videos. Really appreciate these tips! Do you have any advice on how to juggle 3 subjects in just over 6 weeks. Not sure if you did the same, but doing BPT, BST and FM at the same time and just started virtual college for these. What would you suggest is the most efficient way of studying for these - just don't think 6 weeks is enough time at all?

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Hi thanks for the message, I did do all 3 at once so can feel your pain. BST is fine virtually everyone passes. FM literally just do question practice you will be fine. BPT is very tough so try and spend 70-75% of your time on that. Hope it all goes well! 👊 Luke

[@imranafiq9530]

Can you suggest me on how to do open book notes that is more simplify to be bring in during our BPT final later?

[@passionfruit127]

Hiya, I also have BPT booked for this Dec. I was supposed to sit it in Sept but two weeks before I felt I wasn't ready. I've just started revision again for it and it's in 7 weeks. Do you think this is enough time to pass? I really struggle to balance work life and studying in the eve

[@LukeKermodeACA]

Hey! I think that is plenty of time, but appreciate work life (study) balance isn't easy! Hope it all goes well
