Hi Sir,
I’m resitting P2 this June after failing with 46% in March.
I personally think I failed on section A, but awaiting an admin review to confirm.
What do you suggest as a study plan for the last 5 weeks?
Regards
Roshan

I like you am in the same boat. I failed with 45%.
When you say an admin review, how do you get this, as I’ve never heard of it? I didn’t think you’d get to find out where you failed….
Thanks

The deadline for admin review has passed. You pay £52 and they recount your marks and make sure all the correct processes have been done. Its a longshot,but hopefully they messed up somewhere. They also tell you pass or fail on all the questions you have done.
April 29, 2018 at 5:40 pm #449360Thanks for explaining. I didn’t realise this was possible – good to know!
All the best and fingers crossed for both of us regarding the next P2 sitting!

Hi Roshan,
Sorry to hear that you’ve not been successful.
I’d recommend that you work through the past exam papers, but do them under timed conditions and without looking at the answers. It sounds daft but you won’t have the answers in the exam, so you need to get used to not getting everything 100% correct and accepting that you’ve made a mistake/didn’t know something and move on.
It is also important to get used to doing the questions in the time that is allowed in the exam. You cannot spend any longer on each question than is allowed as otherwise you begin to lose the easier marks on the other questions. It is highly likely/certain to e the case that the extra time spent on a question won’t get you any additional marks as you’re trying to get the more difficult marks on the question having already got the easier marks.
Final point, think about your exam technique. Are you answering Q1 part (c) first? If not then I’d recommend that you do as there are several easy marks in here and it’s good to get them early and in the time available so that you can the crunch the numbers in Q1 part (a).
Now, get practising those past exam questions!
Thanks

Hi Matt,
Save yourself the £52 and don’t bother. Use the money elsewhere. Very few students, if any are successful. You are effectively paying someone to add up your marks and that’s it. You don’t receive any feedback on what you’ve done.
Thanks
April 30, 2018 at 9:40 pm #449557Thanks sir. I got my admin review back and no change. I passed q1, but failed 3 & 4. So i need to work on section b a bit more. I’ve also picked the international version this time instead of uk. Is exam kit best practice for section b?

Yes the exam kit will serve you the best as all the questions will be updated for the new accounting standards on leases and revenue.
Have a look at the revision videos before you start answering the questions. There are only two as I’ve not had huge amounts of time to do any more but they give you an idea of what you need to be doing.
Thanks
