    Hello 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.

    My 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

    Joy – 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/

    I 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 ?
