    I sat P3 in June 14 but I was unsuccessful, now I’m thinking of self study for June exam 2015 using my old notes/books,
    Is this the right thing to do or are there any recent changes in the syllabus?

    The main difference is that additional IT has been introduced and something called POPIT (people, organisation, processes and IT). All the new material is in OT notes. Apart from those new topics your old notes will be fine.

    Practise past questions. Write for the time available for the marks and compare your answer to the model answer. Question practice is essential: there is no short-cut. If you know the technical contane reading that again will ot help applying the theories to the question. If the model answer uses a theory you don’t know/remember then read that up in the study text.
