Thanks Gina, I also wish you the best for any remaining papers!
I’m happy but I’m not even an accountant (I’m doing valuation control of financial derivatives), so I probably won’t use this knowledge directly, though I know I have built some useful skills with these exams.
Next I’ll probably learn some coding, so I do have to do some more studying if I want to keep myself valued in the job market.

I have no idea how but I passed with 63%. In the exam hall I gave it up in the first hour because I couldn’t even calculate the FX gain/loss on a credit purchase properly. Then I just said I would take it as a practice session (an expensive mock exam). I wrote a detailed answer to Q2 but as far as I remember, I barely touched Q4. I expected 30 to 40 marks.

I’d like to thank Stephen and Chris for their excellent lectures and tips. I laughed a lot on Stephen’s jokes. 🙂 I’d say I had the basic knowledge about all the required accounting standards (but not the details) and I just wish I had practiced more questions to boost my confidence and to avoid losing the spirit if something doesn’t go as planned.
I practiced in an Excel sheet and word processor and sometimes in the official practice platform, that probably helps.

This was my last exam. It took me exactly ten years to pass all of them… (with a couple of years of pause when I didn’t take any exams)
Before starting using OpenTuition, I failed P2 at least thrice, simply because I was really unprepared. I think I matured quite a lot in the process and I passed my last two exams with OpenTuition (AFM and SBR) with good marks, on the first attempts.

“Don’t give up” is a cliché but it’s just absolutely true.
