Hi
Has any one done p5 from Kaplan? I would like to know about Richard B.
I have failed this paper 3rd them I and has done study with BPP but course was to fast.
Congratulations who has passed this paper.
Need advice for study also. Please help.
Thanks in advice.

lets me ask you for some clarification, are there some evidence that people with marginal cases have managed to go through a pass grade? how is the process and how long will it take

Hi All,

Passed P5 with 55%. I would really recommend Kaplan and specifically Peter Nunn. This paper was not my first attempt. I did the live online tuition, revision and question based day and the mock exam! It is was a little costly but worth every penny! We all know how difficult and challenging this paper is please believe me when I say this he has the recipe for passing this exam.

Passed with 50 Marks , thank open tution.

fail, sad now….

Failed too 48 – going for review too given I worked solidly for this. First exam I have failed twice and my final one. We should stick together for those with marginal fails and get them to look at these again.

same here… I am going to apply for an admin review, then appeal to the Examination Appeals Committee. The admin review wont work, they just add up your marks again, it is unlikely they did this wrong at the first time. I will appeal because I think their marking scheme is wrong. I think I got a low mark for Q3 which is very easy. I have read the marking scheme, it shows like this:

Calculations:
Variable costs 2
Total costs 1
Revenue 2
Profit 1

I didnt do these steps, I just wrote: profit=(price/quantity-variable cost/quantity)*quantity-fixed costs

My formula was right and I got the final result right, but I think they didnt give me full mark. So l lost at least 5 marks here. The marking scheme is so stupid, I dont need to calculate revenue and variable costs to reach the final result. And the question asks the choices for different appetites, it doesnt ask variable costs, revenue, totoal costs. There are different solutions, they shouldnt only give marks for one solution.

I think their math is fairly poor, this is the calculation we do in primary school. It’s like they ask to calculate 1+1+1, you write 3, they say no its wrong, you must calcuate like this: 1+1=2, 2+1=3… this is absolutely ridiculous.

And I also dont know how they mark the first question of Q1. The marking scheme says 1 mark per point – must be based on the scenario information. I just wrote a bunch of general comments of the report and links them to the case but not so much. I dont think there is any problem of this as the answers to Q1 of June 2012 are basically the general comments too (this question is basically the same as this years’). The examiner himself can write different answers to the same type of question, how can markers give us 0 mark if we followed answers of 2012. The examiner has an unstable mind, therefore the marking scheme is doubtful.

I am furious now!!!!

Finally an Affiliate with 50%. Thanks to the Almighty Allah and OT team. Elah!

yes do all the exam questions from Dec 11 onwards and make sure you do mock exam at least ones under timed conditions. Also recommend Kaplan-Peter Nunn

Passed with 63% (1st attempt) and also passed P7 with 51% (2nd attempt)

I am now an affiliate awaiting my invitation to become a member.

Great feeling, congratulations to all who passed and keep at it for those who didin’t, it is worth it in the end!!
