December 9, 2017 at 5:00 am #422173Hello Everyone,
The question paper of p1 was easy according to me. Wasnt really confused in wordings.
I tried to discuss all the questions. One point I kept in mind was verbs do matter but the weightage would be to make understand the marker tat we have understood the question and discussed many points to proove that.
I answered all parts of all questions. But did ran out of time so had to fit few parts into watever time was left.
Overall it was a good paper as I knew the areas tat were asked in the paper.
All the very best to all of you.December 9, 2017 at 10:56 am #422230My first p paper and I thought it was fairly easy. Much prefer that you have the option of 2 out of 3 questions on the p papers!
I sat the resit for f9 two days later and found that so much tougher!

I thought it wasn’t too bad. There weren’t any questions that I didn’t know how to answer. I chose 2 & 3 as my optionals – for 3 I did struggle a bit to relate my answer to the case so I may have dropped some marks there.I used Mike’s tips for time management (plan your answers for 0.5 minutes per mark and then 1.3 minutes per mark to write) and these worked really well. Thanks Mike!
I spent 45 minutes reading and planning and the rest of the time writing, keeping an eye on the time and being careful not exceeding it for any question part. I had finished every part of every question with a decent answer put down with 8 minutes to spare. I did rush the entrepreneurial risk part a bit and my definition was quite woolly but overall I’m satisfied.
This was the first written paper I’ve done after doing all the F papers as CBE. As long as the marker can read my handwriting I’m confident I passed…
Can you share further details on your time management technique please
December 9, 2017 at 1:33 pm #422260I think coso is correct answer for 3a
December 11, 2017 at 9:39 am #422502Joy – I can’t take credit for the technique, it was Mike Little who came up with it. A more detailed explanation is in this topic: https://opentuition.com/topic/final-revision-7/

December 21, 2017 at 1:20 pm #424317I have a straightforward question for all P1 takers, I took P3 in december and hopefully I would pass and plan to take P1 in march…should I expect some benefit by taking P3 just before P1 and limit my study effort ?
