I think I have screwed up the paper (my second attempt). Despite hours of study and question practice I couldn’t nail it on the day. I started with the optional questions (3 and 4) but got stuck on the first part of Q3 (CGT calcn) and wasted too much time trying to work out what was needed. Also I dwelt too long on one part of Q4 (cant remember which), so wasting more time. Then I did Q2 and spent far too long on the first part (impact of errors on IT, CGT and IHT) but found the ethics part ok. All this meant I had only half an hour for the long Q1 and could only manage about 10 marks worth.
How did the rest of you fare? I realised later that I would have been better perhaps doing Q5 as I seemed more sure of how to answer it.
Please let me know how you found it.

I have made a right mess of this paper! I spent far too long on Q1 leaving little time for the others. In the end I only managed to do most of Q4 and did not even start the final question. A day to forget for sure!. I know it is a dead cert fail but by how much is the question.
I sat my exam in Peterborough and after the exam I heard many students sounding pessimistic, which at least consoled me that I was not the only one who found the paper tough.

I failed by just two marks – my second attempt. I was naturally gutted. I scored 15% more than last time, so at least there was a marked improvement.
I understand that the national pass rate in P5 was very low, so I can take some consolation from that.
