In the same boat. Not interested in Audit at all so it's between P4 and P5. P5 has to lowest pass rate of all papers but just seems like an extension of P3 which I sat not too long ago. Where as P4 is an extension of a paper I got an exemption for from Uni and barely remember. I'll probably do P5 but i'm wondering what the catch is with it, why does it have such low pass rates?

Congrats. What materials did you use please?

Failed with 48%. Absolutely gutted.

@sonyam11 said: Personally my tip would be to just concentrate on one P paper at a time. And in no way is this questioning your ability but if I’d just gotten 31% I would definitely feel like I need to focus my attention on just one paper rather than risk failing two

Since i am a full time worker and self study. I think I should focus on one paper at a time. Could you tell me about your study plan and exam approach?

to : anngreed "Hi!!no stick at it!!! I did it 4 times!! and finally passed with 53!!and I just read solutions as the questions just scared me!!I would have question open of course to see where they getting the figures!! and I basically did about 12 exam papers over and over again!!! and wrote down the key points of each exam question.also first of all just go through the exam papers and pick out all the questions for each topic and then just go over all those questions and solutions. i always photocopied all the exam papers and cut them all up and organised them into a folder and just keep reading the solutions!! I learned all the reliefs too and I am unable to learn ANYTHING OFF BY heart i literally forget it 2 seconds later but i still tried my hardest especially fro all the income tax reliefs. but you know what you never really use any of them in the exam!!! i used i think business and retirement relief in the last exam I think!!you can do this!! so keep at it dont bother switching!! il help you through it if you want to ring me and I can give you my notes!! also i found helpful for every question unless stated otherwise go down through the taxes cgt, cat, sd, wht,ct , vat and it and comment on each of the taxes, that automatically gets u more marks and examiner likes that, thats what i did in the last exam anyway!! and leave question one to last, start with optional questions and then do question two and then question one.whatever u dont know in the time just highlight and leave to the end. at start of the exam skim through everyting for reading time and jot downall the reliefs that you can spot in the questiosn that you think you will use!! as i said my memory is so bad so i had to write down all the reliefs as much as i could at the start of the exam as iw oudl definitely forget them otherwise!! i also bought a stop watch which was AMAZING!!do that!! email me and I will ring you and help you cause it took me 4 times, just dont give up!go enjoy yourself tonight now and treat yoruself and then get stuck in!! I have one exam left audit!!which i am struggling with also so il hopefully get that in september now!! but Lets meet and I will go through everything with you and you will pass in december!!trust me!! also start with knowing the residency of each individual!!, in 1 a4 page I literally wrote down residency rules for each tax, paying dates etc on one page. and I had that at the front of my folder because you use this for most questions!!email me or comment back and we can meet and il give u my notes and il lead u in the right direction:) keep at it anyway!!" Thanks for your reply but I am based out of the UK. I will try again ithis Sep. I received the response to my admin reivew - " failed all questions " Reviewed this morning the examiner model answer to June 18 exam and was shocked how the June 18 exam was tricky .
