    Hello Sir,
    Hope you are doing well.

    I’ve been taking courses for P4 since January and it’s been more or less alright with the syllabus.
    I have been giving some thoughts to change to P5. My marks for F5 were 65% and F9 54%. I’m more at ease with figures than mostly theory. However, while covering the syllabus I’m looking at the contents and doubting if I’ll use them tomorrow in my career. Currently I’m only studying and intend to take P7 in December.
    What would you advise me to do? Should I stick to P4 or shift to P5 then postpone my exam for September then?

    Thank you for your guidance,

    Have a nice day ahead. 🙂

    You say that it has been more or less alright with the syllabus and that you are more at ease with figures than with theory. For both reasons it would seem more sensible to stick with P4 rather than change.
    P5 has more theory than P4 (and you probably will not use P5 in your career either 🙂 )
