    Dear Farhan, you’re almost there. One key component is the accounting standards. I made a little booklet of all the examinable standards summarizing their details. This really helped me understand what problems each scenario presented. It is also essential that you do ALL the questions in the kit (Kaplan for me). Be brutal with time management, the first question is the killer, it must be done within 1hr 10min or so and then move on.

    YOU MUST ATTEMPT ALL QUESTIONS to stand a chance of passing. THat is absolutely essential.

    Hi there, i am an affiliate, married with 2 daughters and i’m working. i wrote my last paper P7 in December 2013 and i made it. DO NOT quit, there is a formula for success. I have also never attended tutions due to the cost which i was unable to afford.

    My formula which has worked for me since i started in December 2009 is :

    >get the latest Kaplan text and Revision kit. Begin studying at least 4 months before the exam.
    > Ensure you study each and every topic (not easy i know)
    > You MUST attempt at least 95% of the questions in the Rev kit. That means you can only leave out maybe two on each topic.

    If you can competently answer 95% of the questions in the kit, YOU WILL PASS all your exams in the fundamentals level. (IT WORKED FOR ME)

    Just remember that you need to give 100%, you will not pass if its a by the way thing for u. Be positive and work really hard.

    All the best!

    @zeev said:
    Fail p4 again (for the second time). I was really confident I had passed this time round. This is my last paper and it’s taking everything out of me. My confidence has completely been shattered by this exam. I’m actually devastated right now. Don’t know if I should give it another attempt or try a different paper. Any advice please?

    I passed with 52% at the first attempt. My observations:
    1) Use open Tuition material as a supplement, its a masterful supplement.
    2) Get a BPP study text and a Kaplan Revision Kit.
    3) It is absolutely essential that you attempt almost every Question in the Kaplan Kit. May sound like a tall order but trust me, all the torture i went through with those tough questions paid off.
    4) Keep the faith, YOU WILL SUCCEED!!!
