Passed with 50% on my third attempt – this was my final paper so can get my life back now!!!

This is the only paper that I had to sit 3 times and it is a strange one. I thought the June Paper was ridiculous and was sure I had failed it as left about 20% behind with the time constraints and felt it was the worst I had done out of the 3 attempts. Very shocked that I passed but I’ll take it :O)

So to those of you who are struggling with this paper – you are not alone. Keep your head down and keep practicing the past questions timing yourself. Go over your notes for 30 mins first each study session and then also build up your notes from what you are learning from doing the past papers.

Hated it. Having done all of the past papers several times this seemed to be the most narrow exam yet which covered so little of the syllabus but it covered it in great detail. Question 1 was okay but I found myself repeating my answers a lot which was something I found through out the exam.

I don’t know if my time management was poor or it was a longer exam than usual but I had to really rush at the end just to answer all of the questions. Due to time constraints I barely looked at question 4, I just saw the first question was about insider trading and looked at the marks and doubted I’d be able to write that much on it.

Having got 44 in June (which looking back on was a much easier paper than this one) I’m predicting between 30 and 40 this time and another resit in December.

Totally agree – I found the P1 Paper very repetitive and it only examined a very small part of the syllabus. I also ran out of time which is odd when I have not had this problem with Past Exam Papers or when I sat it first in June.

I got 47% last time out but feel this result will be worse :O(
