Hi Mike, am so disappointed re P1, failed with 46 first attempt. I've decided to take 3 subjects in June 2015. P1, P2 and P7. Do you think it's the right decision. Also, can you please advise on way to go about passing them as am really devastated with these subjects. Advice needed please.

75 in the first attempt. Could have scored more :(

75 in P1 & 76 in P3.

I failed this paper again yet i did the paper and thought i had made it!! I am starting to get tired of the course. Its a lot of money I have spent and continue to spend yet if i don't complete i will have wasted time and money. I would have loved a break but with the new rules introduced I have to finish sooner than later. My strategy is going to be past papers and articles plus OT lectures. Hoping to make it this time.

I think the key to passing P1 is practicing past papers. After you feel comfortable with the syllabus get straight into past paper questions. At first they may seem intimidating, but the more questions you solve the more confident you will feel. Once you've done a few questions start timing yourself. The best way to pass P1 (or any exam for that matter) is to complete the whole paper as it increases your chances. By the end of your revision you should be completing Section A questions in 90 minutes and each Section B question in 45 minutes. Once the 90 minutes are up, leave what your doing and move on, to ensure that you've attempted each question. Another useful tip is to keep your answers straight and to the point. Each correct point scores you 1 mark, so there is no point in repeating yourself as you will be wasting valuable time. Also, try to relate to the cases and think, "what would I do in this situation?". In my opinion many parts of the syllabus are common sense, so use your logic when answering the questions. Most importantly study and practice as often as you can. Just an hour a day can go a long way, with 2-6 hours on the weekends (depending on your schedule) and always make your own notes. I followed this method for P1, which was my first ACCA exam and scored 62. Hope this helps :)

passed first attempt, thanks for the lecture notes

Alhamdulilah passed 51% in 4th attempt

Dont bother wasting your money on review. have done that with the exaclt mark before. and they still insist that was my mark
