The common belief is that a course is a course, same teacher, same subject, so it must be current. It isn't. A recorded course can be built for a past attempt, and if the amendments for your attempt aren't in it, you've bought last year's exam at this year's price. In subjects like Tax, Law and FR, missed amendments are missed marks.
"Coming soon" doesn't help if your exam comes first. Some faculties send updates promptly, others don't. The only way to know is what previous students actually experienced, not what the sales page promised. And don't just ask whether they provide amendments, ask how: built into the course, or handed over separately, sometimes as scattered YouTube videos. Separate and disorganized is a warning sign.
Ask Yourself
- Which attempt and syllabus was this course actually recorded for?
- Are amendments for my attempt already included, or only promised later?
- Are they built into the course, or provided separately and loosely?
Red Flags
- The listing doesn't clearly state which attempt the course targets or when it was recorded.
- The faculty has a history of delaying amendment classes, but you assume this year will be different.
