    Hi all,

    I was wondering if its possible to sit a different options paper (P4-P7) if you’d already sat one initially but would rather try a different one (eg. sat and failed P4 but would like to do P5 instead in the next session)? Or do you have to stick with the same one?

    Sorry if this question has been asked before! Wasn’t really able to find it anywhere…

    Thanks very much in advance for any replies! 🙂

    no problems at all in changing and sometimes its a good idea to do a fresh paper rather than revision.
    I absolutely loved doing P5. I did fail it a couple of times but passed first time after going through Johns lectures.
    Also, for that paper I had a list of all of the theories which I would expand each morning so that on the day there was no thinking about things such as remembering the components of the value chain, only thinking about applying the theories to the scenarios which is what P5 is all about (a little like P7 in that respect).
    Good luck in December,
    Shaun.

    Thanks so much for your reply! 🙂

    Will definitely go for P5 I think…

    Thanks again!
