Well it’s all about what type of papers you feel you can easily manage ,
P1 ,p3 and p5 are theoretical based analytical papers where you have to apply your knowledge to the given scenarios ,where as p2 and p4 are more number based papers ,

I knew few fellow students who find p4 very hard, they eventually changed the paper after 3_4 attempts ,I on the other hand find p4 very easy and passed it on 1 st Attempt ,

I suggest if you are theoratical person then you should attempt p1 along with p3, however if you are good in numbers then you should attempt p2 ,with p4 or taxation (p7 I think)

And you are right about p3 it’s easiest of all professional papers but p1 is the tricky one ,( specially if you are number person)

And You are a number person If you love doing your f5 ,and f9

Thanks everyone,
@ thatgirl
My average number for each exam are 55-60 but numbers are not relevant issue in acca exams ,
Professional level exams are off course different from skill level exam ,
I am happy you ask me this question because I have study acca completely on self study basis I was also in trouble when I took this jump
And there are three professional papers which I had reappeared
P1. 2 attempts
P3. 2 attempts
P5. 3 Attempts
However all fundamental level papers are on first attempt,

In professional level papers the main focus is on professional approch of students in identifying and solving challenges that company faces in exam question scenario, analytical skills of students and time management skills of students,
calculations and mathematics would be small share of exams marks,

You may need less time on reading the text in professional papers because most of it you already read in skill level exams ,but you ll need special time and attention in mastering analytical skills
Through kits and past exam papers ,
Do them as many as possible and as many times as possible before exam

Best of luck !!!

I passed p5 ,my last in 3 Rd attempt ,
My trick to pass was simple
I just imagine my self as CEO of company in question and answer whatever seems sensible to the challenges that company faces
My suggestion to fellow students and to specifically p5 students to do the same
It’s only way out for p5
In other 2 attempts I tried everything ,I write whole theory of models but never get more than 40 ,

Trick of trade in p5 is solution to the challenges that any company faces and its only paper in Acca that can’t have one right answer (and that’s why it’s my favorite paper of all)

Other suggestion that I want to give to students is to try and write what ever you think in your own style and words

Don’t take past exams answer too seriously that’s( bu—–it)
And if u r stuck never lose hope ,
Always believe in yourself
And always said to to yourself that you r going to do it in next exam

Try to study with small incremental efforts and you will get your reward eventually

Thanks and all the best

portfolio managers usually do not have concerns over long-term success of their investments,they made investments to diversify i.e. to eliminate the unsystematic risks,and complete the portfolio

while other two are strategic in nature,and success usually is depend upon long term integration and coordination of both parent and investment.

(it is one basic difference, i hope it ll be helpfull)
