APMDoing APM with exemption in F5

SNSonia N6y ago
Hi, Has anyone passed P5 without having to do F5 before? I got an exemption for F5, but I would like to do APM as one of my optionals. I would like to know if it's very hard to catch up on the material, because there is probably lots of assumed knowledge. I have passed AAA and I do not want to do ATX because I had a very hard time with F6 failing twice. And AFM does not attract much. Thanks, Sonia.

Hi Sonia, I'm in the same position with APM and receiving exemptions. How did you find sitting the exam after not sitting F5?

I haven't sat this paper yet but I have been surprised that APM does not seem like a straight follow on from PM. In PM it was mainly concept and calculation based. This exam seems much more like SBL but related to improving performance instead of business leadership. I feel like I have too much to do before the exams and I am sitting SBR too. These are the last 2 exams I need to pass.
