    My brother it’s terribly frustrating when results come and you couldn’t make it especially in your case if it’s the last paper. It happened to mefor 1 whole year. Never give up reorganise yourself and write in September. Never stop writing until you get it because all the sittings are not the same in terms of the structure of the questions you may be fortunate to have a manageable one.
    Manage your time strictly according to the marks allocated to each question. The key is to write something about every part of the questions than elaborating on the once you can handle very well. In addition, do more questions and answers.

    In fact it’s no easy leaving an easy question to go and start another because you are behind time but, trust me we are mostly failed due to mismanagement of the time. Remember the instruction on the cover page of the exam is ‘ATTEMPT’ the questions. This is a professional exam and i could see we are being assesed in all facet. Good luck

    Thanks you so much Open tution your revision materials are excellent. Since last year September i relied only on the revision materials, videos and the flash cards.

    Finally i am an Affiliate after such a long journey. After six attempts i managed to secure 51% to qualify. In fact P5 became a standing block to my qualification and i share in the pain in those who couldn’t make it. I have expressed similar sentiments before specially in the March exam when i thought i was going to go through. Just don’t give up do more revision and more critically is to manage your time well.
    Time yourself and never go over the time allocated to each question. i did just about 80% but covered every aspect of the question.

    I can now have time for my family they have sacrificed a lot.

    I wish all who have to write again the best of luck.

    Never give up my brother. I also got 43 in my second attempt and my last paper. It’s very painful but there is end in sight. I wish you the very best in December.

    I failed my first attempt and with 29 marks i am asking myself if this is the course i should continue. I new i had left very easy marks to slip by but never thought this is what i was going to obtain. Again my time management was not the best even though i new what to do. I just blame myself. I am encouraged though going through the various postings. P5 is my last paper and can’t afford to be discouraged even though i am very down.
    i work with a bank and were in the budgting period i just hope i can have time to revise for september.

    Congrats to those who have made it i am happy for you all.
