Can I use an older FAPS book?
This unit's content is stable across the Q2022 syllabus period (live since September 2022, no replacement announced), so older Q2022 editions remain substantively valid - publishers reprint each academic year with a new ISBN but near-identical content. One of the best-value used buys in professional study.
Always double-check the edition against your exam sitting before buying. When in doubt, AAT's official syllabus documents are free and definitive.
