    Ken, there appears to be a number of similarities between P5 and P3 would you advise to take together or separately, if separately which would you suggest one takes first?

    I suggest take separately with P3 first.

    Although there appears to be considerable overlap in the syllabus, the questions and their objectives are very different. Taking them together risks confusion.
