    Hi,
    I have noticed in the examiners notes that there is has been a lack of F5 knowledge for the P5 exam, i did F5 a few years ago and i have revised the areas in the P5 notes, covering F5, budgets etc. I had a quick look through the F5 notes and noticed there are a couple of areas that are there but not in the P5 notes, mainly cost volume profit analysis, (chapter 8 of OT notes in F5), Quantiticve analysis (chapter 12) and standard costing and variance analysis, I have skimmed through these notes but wanted to check how likely is something from these coming up in the P5 exam? and if i should be doing more practice in these areas?

    I think simple cost/volume could be important – eg restricted resources, closing down operations.; interpretation of variances is much more likely than producing variances.

    There is no evidence that complex quantitative analysis would be likely.

    Would revising these from the OT notes be sufficient?
    thank you.

    Should be – but it is very important in P5 do look at lots of exam questions. This exam has little additional theory beyond P3 and F5, but the questions are very different.
