    Hi guys,

    So I am just starting to study for my exams on the 8th of December. There’s about 58 days left before the exam starts. I am only doing P2 for the December exam session, and also working full-time.

    Do you think 200-250 hours of study is sufficient to pass this exam?

    I know it works differently for everyone, but I would like to know what your recommended amount of hours is to pass this exam.

    Thanks.

    Yeah sounds good. Use at least half of that time practising question 1; nail that then you nail the exam.

    This is coming from a boy on cloud 9 at the moment. Just received my results….64%….shocked.

    I put the hours in, I did about 170 hours. I work full time but tried to do 3 hours a day for 8 weeks. Didn’t manage 3 hours every day but stuck to 21 hours a week.

    This exam is tough, time pressure is insane

    I got 59 marks!!

    I think at least 2 hours a day is sufficient. If you aim to do 2 exam questions a day then you can easily cover 60 exam standard questions in 1 month. What i did was to go over the most recent exam questions from Dec’13 to June’15 . These exams covered all possible topics that can be tested including the different type of group questions (with the exception of Foreign subs which was tested in June’11). Plenty of question practice is the key to success and completing as much of the paper as possible as i attempted 92 marks (left out Q1 part B).
