    Dear All,

    I could not pass P5 on my first attempt although I know many students take several attempts before crossing this beast. I scored 34% for the March 19 diet and is considering to opt for P4 and abandon P5. I would like to know if this will be a good idea. Does the 34 % reflect poor exam technique and knowledge? If i stick to P5, exam will be taken in September 2019.

    Hi aftaab1390

    You don’t say what kind of effort you put in or if you found P5 difficult or disliked it , This might help people give advice. I have done both and whilst they are different P4 is equally as demanding with regards to preparation . P4 has more technical content.

    I used online material only like OT lectures and youtube videos. They are easily understandable. Do you think BPP book can help?

    Hi aftaab, I would say you definitely need a textbook and revision kit with OT . I used BPP but others may prefer Kaplan. I never go through the textbook, I just use OT but use book as a reference doing questions or working on weaker areas . Practice questions are very important , as you say lectures very understandable but the context in which questions are asked can be tough.
