@lotak: Yes, it would be great if you could share your views on how to crack P6.
PS: I have also sent you private message about this.
Regards,
RajeshMy study pattern is neither conventional, nor structured.
This was the first unit I self-studied, with BPP. I started studying around late December doing a couple of nights a week for around 2 hours or so. I also studied on Sunday, but even then, not every Sunday for the first few weeks.I went through the course material and online lectures and with around 4 weeks till the exam, I went through the BPP P&R kit, doing a few questions every day using the notes.
I actually don’t answer the questions under exam conditions, even the mock exams / past exam papers. I never have. On the last few days, I’d do the mock exams and past papers and revisit any areas that are detailed and require remembering, e.g. rules for controlled foreign companies, which was actually examined in March.For this paper, really one needs to have a strong knowledge of F6. Whilst they don’t test the nitty gritty aspects of tax in great detail, it is expected that one knows how to produce the pro formas, and is comfortable with the fundamentals of all tax areas studied at F6. I found VAT toughest to get my head around, so I went back to my F6 notes and re-visted it, which helped. To be honest, if you find any area of tax tricky, its best to revisit it at F6 level, because they expect you to know it at P6.
Like all units, tax is all about practice, practice, practice. The more questions you do, the more knowledge you retain and the more comfortable you get in answering the P6 style questions.
I don’t really know what I can say to help, that doesn’t apply to all units, because tax was a unit I was good at and enjoyed studying the most.
@lotak, Thanks for taking your time to reply. Just want to clarify a couple of things as I am taking this paper on my 1st attempt this June.
1. When you say “I went through the course material and online lectures” Are you referring to BPP study text or just the course notes which is a more summarized version of the text?
“and with around 4 weeks till the exam, I went through the BPP P&R kit, doing a few questions every day using the notes”. (Again, study text or notes?)
Often, what I do find is that, going through the chapters using the course notes is simpler and faster but encompasses fewer scenarios as compared to the text which is fairily detailed. I do worry to some extent that, when the question scenario changes, I may not have enough knowledge to answer exam style question by relying on the course notes alone.
What’s your take on this? Any advice would be much appreciated.
