    All notes will be written in an order the author thinks best. So work through on order from the start. It is important to become familiar with questions early. Most question books group questions by topic and these are listed in the contents pages. So after studying a chapter look at a relevant question and learn from that and it’s answer.

    if you review and adjust your approach of p6 you should be able to pass this june. last sitting, did you practice enough questions under exam condition from the kit? did you learn enough rules? p6 is long and winded with many rules to learn. but the exam doesnot have alot of catches, as long as your preparation is genuine you should pass since exam is kind of predictable (as opposed to p5).
    i say give it another go

    @howexcellent: Thank you so much for your advice,I really appreciate…but to be honest I really did not practice enough…just did the kit in a combine study verbally,and yeah P6 was predictable as mu teacher told me that every area qould be tested and so it was :P…. and Im really not eager to go through that giagentic book of p6 one more time…the very thought gives me goosebumps :S….
    for now ive just made up my mind to switch to p5 and increase my effort by leaps and bounds,follow each and every instruction of my instructor…I hope this positive attitude would help me to pass p5 which is a gift to me by p6…what do u say???? 🙂

    @hmd901; Good luck with your choice its up to you what paper you feel confident with. just keep it in mind that all option papers are hard nuts now, all of them. in my opinion p5 is one beast of a paper, beware – what with 71% failure rate last sitting. However, it is passable.


    @habibla
    ; p4 is challenging but once you throw yourself into it and grasp the concepts you get rewarded. though i think you need to attend classes for a better chance.

    Good luck everyone.
