    Spending a lot of time revising ratios is not very good use of your time given there will be maximum 5-10 marks for this.

    By this time in your studies, ratios should be second nature

    Well, it did work for me and as a result I am a member now. I of course, was focusing not only on ratios, but for March exam sitting did more work on these than any other models. Most of the models are the same; focusing on quality, performance improvements and etc. Ratios are used to analyse different things. A lot in this exam is common sense + general business knowledge.
    Pass is a pass and does not matter if it’s 70 or 51 🙂

    I believe in June will be question on corporate failure and environmental reporting + costs given into account the recent issues we are currently facing. Best of luck everyone!

    @laima522
    Thank you. I am sacrificing a lot of time and I watched the video for p5 resitters from the examining team, I watched my time management, I read and understood the Q requirements. All I was doing was past papers and Opentuition. I am going again in june but this time my focus will be on p2 as it is easier to pass and I will focus on my weak areas for p5. Things like porter’s 5 forces etc I know inside out.

    I spent a lot of time to learn ratios and when is the best to apply and why. I think it is critical for P5 paper as in every exam one or two questions are based on ratios, Eva, NPV and etc.

    To ds3ce:

    Don’t give up. I had to do P2 5times before I got it, so I know how it feels. I did self studies, attended evening classes and also was a single mum with a full time job. It is possible with sacrificing family and social life. Best of luck next time.
