I don’t think open tuition supports P6 any longer.
Revise each topic in detail, make sure you do all the TYU’s ( I’ve used Kaplan books), and move on to the exam kit and past papers.
The more question practice you do, the more chances you have to pass.
Don’t get bogged down on the minor details that you may struggle, just move on! Remember, you only need 50 to pass!
You seem to have an exam technique issue.
Do not overwrite for each point, just write the essential, move on and STRICTLY stick to your time.
I suggest that you take a stopwatch with you in the exam and make good use of it

Thank you so much for this advice, very helpful …. and Congratulations on becoming an affiliate!No worries, always happy to help! Thank you 😉
I was in a very similar situation, but I had a lot of support from my wife.
You need to analyse each paper and get a feel of how well you could do in each of them.
For example, I had P2, P7 and P6 left.
In the past, I’ve done well in F8 and F7, so therefore sat P2 & P7 together and passed.
And sat now P6 and became an affiliate.
If you are business minded and excelled in written papers, than P3 shouldn’t present a problem.
P6 is a very demanding paper and the syllabus is huge.
P7 I felt it was a continuation of F8, but looks in more detail into the accounting standards.
Whichever papers you decide to go, I wish you all the best.
John Moffat,
Thanks for the clarification.
Due to being a full time employee and father of two, I would only be sitting two papers, so it seems that I will have to resign to the fact that I have to do P2 & P3.I could enter for P3 and not turn up and do P7 instead, but for some reason I don’t feel comfortable in doing it.
I shall make a decision in the next few days.
Thanks everyone for you valuable input.
Well, just spoke to ACCA and apparently I won’t be able to combine P2 with P7 as I would need to enter for the P3 paper before sitting the optional papers.
Therefore, I have no choice apart from combining P2 with P3..damn!
Yosoykaren, I went for a P1 course and to be honest with you, they are useless.
If you have self-studied for any other papers and you sucedeed, then you should be fine with self-studying P1.
Just practice a lot of questions by writing the answers in full and not bullet points and you should be OK!
yosoykaren, I have not made my mind up yet, but I’m inclined to take courses for both papers.
Yep, it seems to be the more sensible combination, so will give it a try. Good luck to you aswel.
Meanwhile, if anyone else has any suggestions, please feel free to post.

in question to i write that using low price material is not good but having di-skilled processes would be OKcan any body tell me how much i am correct?
I share the same opinion, as labour efficiency was adverse due to additional time spent on wood supplied by new supplier.
Also I have mentioned that if the company would go back and use the old supplier, there would be some savings by using less skilled labourers.
Hi all,
The paper overall was OKish..
Question 2, I wasnt sure about which pricing strategies to mention that related to the building industry, so ended up mentioning penetration pricing for the GC and market skimming for the EX.
Also on ABC calculation, the difference on ABC overheads compared to the full cost was quite significant.
Question 3 let me down and also 13 marks to calculate variances, not sure if I’ve done enough.
Question 5 required some thinking time, but overall was OK.@4152marky said:
I got that total also i think. It was number of members x 60% x 12.As for if it was controlable, i said it wasn’t as the manager couldn’t force his members to go to the gym once a week. Also if they had already paid their subscriptions and did attend once a week it would impact on his capacity which was going to get limited due to the growth.
I’ve calculated members x 60% = x
Then number of visits / x
It gave me numbers between 11 and 13
