    Hi,

    Is it hard to do P5 without having done 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.

    In my opinion you should be OK for APM. There is some overlap with PM, but less than you might expect. PM concentrates on you having to perform calculations whereas APM has more emphasis on interpretation and deciding what information is needed.

    Our notes contain revision of most of the PM material you are likely to need. If you need more you can boost your knowledge by looking at relevant parts of our PM notes and lectures.

    Question practice is very, very important in APM.
