    I promised myself to post a comment here if I passed this time round. So I finally did. Im not the brightest student, but I hope this helps those who think they could not make it for P2. You def CAN.
    Passed third attempt @ 58% with 2 weeks to study. I did not really focus the last two attempts and ignored the important exam techniques etc (time management is super important guys – READ before you dive into all the questions).
    Make full use of the 15 minutes reading time. Pick your questions, write some notes here and there. Because after an hour or so of doing Q1, you will forget all stuff you wanted to write in the first place (happened to me). Please DONT do this. Choose all the questions you want to answer during the 15 minutes reading time. So vital to passing your exam.

    BUT really, hats off to Chris. I managed to do this thanks to his lecturers. Chris’ lecturers literally saved my life as I have a full-time job and managed to squeeze time to study at night and during the weekend. I would repeat the lecturers again and again. Thank you so Much Chris if you are reading this.
    Lesson i learnt from previous attempts:
    i. Do not try to rot learn all the accounting standards, you have to understand the principles behind each standard.
    ii. Do not question/standard-pick, learn ALL the standards. At least the basics.
    iii. I didn’t have enough time to do question practices ( i never complete a whole set of questions before lol), so I picked to practice questions which im weaker at ie Financial instruments, tax etc over and over again.
    iv. Use the technical articles.
    v. Dont bother buying expensive textbooks (you could but you can def pass w opentuition, accowtancy resources, any resources online and practice past exam questions.
    v. Watch Chris’ Lecturers (helped me so much, it will def help you)
    Hope this helps. Just helping out those who failed – resitting/ taking P2 exam in the future. 50% is all we need guys! One more paper to go. Do not give up guys! God bless.
