1.   ‘Exam Study Textbook: A routemap through the syllabus’

Our ‘Exam Study Textbook: A routemap through the syllabus’ E-book has been developed to ease your study experience, raise your comfort level and skill in dealing with exam questions and covers the syllabus by using two integrated elements:

• qComprehensive study text 
• Meaningful overview diagrams and charts
  

• qAs a ‘beginner’. Our ‘Exam Study Textbook: A routemap through the syllabus’ E-book can be read from cover to cover using the text and the diagrams in physical sequence (just like a normal book - from page to page).
  
  The text includes:
  • •factual discussion, explanations and description 
  • examples 
  • activities with answer guidelines 
  • tutorial comments 
  • research views (if appropriate) 
  • real-world examples (if appropriate)
    
    
• As a ‘re-sitter’.  If this meets your particular study needs you can simply concentrate on the overview diagrams and charts and therefore not become involved in working through the detailed text. You will, however, still be able to read any part of the text by using the electronic word search facility, or else by hyperlinking to the text you require from the syllabus content which is presented at the front of your book.
  
• qAs a ‘reviser’. In the same way as the ‘re-sitter’, during your revision period you will be able to focus your attention only on the overview diagrams and charts as your vital ‘last minute cram’.
  

The content of your study text is hyperlinked to the syllabus reference so that you can ensure complete coverage.

3.  ‘Practice Questions & Answers:  Drilling Down'

The surest way to succeed in exams is to constantly recall, rethink, test and refresh your knowledge.  You need to be continuously looking back over your shoulder rethinking and reworking topics from as many different angles as possible.  Working through exam-status questions has helped thousands of students build their confidence and to sharpen their exam techniques.

Our +AddVance range offers an E-book ‘Practice Questions and Answers: Drilling down’ for each available subject.  Each E-book contains numerous exam-status questions with detailed answer guides.  Questions and answers are hyperlinked and so you will not need to turn pages to find suggested solutions.

FAQ:  Why are your +AddVance E-books sold at such a LOW price? 

Yes... it would seem that our books are cheap, but then again our customers are often not able to invest in high-cost study material which after all bears risk, because nobody is really certain of exam success.  Let us look at a few statistics:

The reason why our prices are set at an extremely (almost unrealistically) low price is because our costs are low and we are able, and pleased, to pass the cost savings on to our customers. Why are our costs so low?  Well, to reiterate some points made on another part of our web site …

• we are a paperless (electronic workflow) college.
• we reach our customers by sophisticated low-cost e-business infrastructures.
• we do not carry costly inventories of unsold paper books.
• we do not suffer high print and dispatch costs.
• we use modern e-business systems to produce high-quality, relevant, up-to-date, user-friendly, immediately accessible study material with very low overhead costs.
• we drastically cut the cost of non-value bureaucracy by using a virtual management approach to the way we service our customers.

This results in dramatic cost reductions when compared with traditional paper-trail study material.  We believe, and our students tell us, that this is the most efficient and effective way of delivering a value-for-money service to modern forward-thinking students.

FAQ:  Do your +AddVance E-books cover the ACCA syllabus? 

Our +AddVance range covers a variety of publications, each one written bespokely for the ACCA exam syllabus:

• ‘Exam Study Textbooks: A routemap through the syllabus’ is based on the full qualifying syllabuses of the ACCA examining body.  We detail the full syllabus at the front of each publication.
• ‘Revision Mnemonics and Charts: Remembering vital points’ also ranges across the entire syllabus but only covers the main discursive aspects that you need to memorise for your ACCA exams. 
• ‘Practice Questions & Answers: Drilling down’ is similar to a conventional ‘Revision Kit’ in that it  provides you with over 40 exam-status practice questions with solutions.
• ‘Case Studies - Learn from experience' identifies with similar case studies that you could potentially expect to find in your ACCA exams.

FAQ:  Are you concerned about the environment?

We are particularly conscious of the pressing responsibility of everyone to preserve the world’s resources and environment. We use minimum paper-based direct and indirect marketing.  We require our students to purchase our products by using our online website so that less paper is used, and hence less trees are cut down. When involved in any ‘face to face contact teaching’ we use electronic teaching aids which also reduces the amount of flip-chart paper, and difficult to dispose of, white board markers. When we use printed materials, we attempt to ensure that it is all printed on post-use recycled paper.

We also look to provide support for students around the world, including those in Developing Countries who have a lower income level, by providing on-line tuition at peppercorn rates, often charging only 10 percent of comparable competitive services (i.e. only £3 for a full study text instead of a potential £30)
