Hi,
I am confused about p4 or p5. I am looking at ACCA pass rates from Dec 2007 until June 2011 P4 rates are lower than P5 and after that Dec 2011 until now P4 are higher than P5. Do you know what is the reason about it? Is it Examiner change during this is it the reason?
I am more confused because my marks are 68 in f5 and p3 and 53 in p2 and f9 .My basics told me to do P5 but if passing rates are so low than not a good option to try.Can you help me in these?
The examiners for both papers did change during the period.
At the moment, certainly P5 has the lower pass rate. However it is dangerous to choose just on this. A likely reason for P4 being higher is that for most people it is a much harder paper and so most people choose P5. P4 has much lower numbers of people and the majority of those that choose it do so because they are very strong in the topics involved (and were very strong in F9) – therefore it is not so surprising that P4 has a higher pass rate.
Best is for you to look at a few of the recent papers for both of them and see which of them looks better for you.
