Hi
I will be going on mat leave of 6 months soon and i have the 4 P’s left to do.
my leave starts in June, will be missing the Sept sitting and thinking about doing 2p’s in Dec sitting so that i would only have 2 left by the time i start work again if i was to pass.Has anyone studied for 2p’s in the one sitting?
Child care shouldn’t be an issue could have around 3-4 hours a day to study from Sept.
I haven’t done any P exams yet and not sure how much harder they are than F’s or what ones are best to take together.
Any advice welcome thanks
March 5, 2019 at 3:57 pm #507800P papers are a significant step up in difficulty from F papers. You need to understand the topics more deeply as there are not many marks for just regurgitating knowledge. You need to be able to analyse, criticise and explain your points.
I didn’t do two P papers together but did do my last F paper together with my first P. Others have done two Ps at a time and managed it though. Which exams go together really depends on which options you will take. Bear in mind SBL is a longer and harder exam and it is recommended that you take 50% more study time for it than other exams.
The main thing I’d think about if I were you would be the sleepless nights and the impact of those on your learning?! I don’t have kids myself but I imagine studying with babies around would be challenging. I know one of my colleagues sat their last P paper with a newborn in the house and found it tough!
