    Dear colleagues
    I’ll prepare my self to select another paper with P4 that’s for next June 2011
    So can any one advice me which paper (P3 or P7) is better / easier with P4
    Taken into consideration that; my available time is restricted (work load, families’ issues,…etc)
    I’ll wait your advice
    Thanks in advance

    Please find the new syllabus and study guide using the link:

    Personally I think you should go for P3 and read the examiner’s article on syllabus change as he has outlined a few questions in the past papers, which are no more relevant.

    @hamdy hafez

    P3 is a compulsory paper, so u have to be required to do it…no way. The optional papers include P4,5,6,7. And I have heard that P5 and P7 are easier than P4, however, it is difficult to assess that judgement because i havent done P5,7 before.

    I did P4 on Dec 2010. In my opinion, P4 is very tough but it is extremely interesting. Many advanced financial techniques (i.e derivatives) havent existed in my country yet, so I have to imagine much when studying it… Though my P4 exam was not good, but I still love it (dont know y, lol, maybe I still hope in a wonderful result!).

    Otherwise, I am scared of studying theoretical paper such as P7, so I have never had a thought of approaching P7. P6 is not available in my country, therefore my options still be P4 and P5.

    I remember that u are very active member of P4 group, arent u? How was ur exam? Will u study P5 on next Jun.? If u do P5, pls cont me in ur group to share materials and studying experience.

    Anyway, we still have 2 months for hoping and enjoying our life… Dont be so worried like that. It is a wise decision if u start start P5 or P6 or P7 as ur second option while waiting P4 result. Pls throw P4 out of ur mind for 2 months later…

    Wish u and ur family all the best!
    Merry Christmast and happy new year 2011!

    Sorry also Dear shine for the too late reply
    Yes I’m the mentioned man but my P4 exam was disaster & I’m sure 99% that I’ll not pass
    Any way I plan to start by the end of this week reading P4 & P3
    So keep in touch
