    p5 is my last paper and i have failed p5 twice in the last two sessions, i am practicing in an audit firm from which i do not get sufficient time to prepare from the first day, due to which all the burden comes to the last month to prepare the paper, i believe i have sound concepts about the p5 topics but i do not know where am i lacking ,
    my performance in the last two exams was
    session ———–paper attempted——–marks obtained
    june 2014——————–68% —————– 41%
    dec 2014 ——————–70% —————– 38%

    also i agree that i do not do written practice , never attepted a complete paper in the revision and also lack professional english.
    please consider my issue and help me to pass this time.
    Warm Regards.

    Your English should not be a problem.

    However, only attempting about 70% of the paper is. If you gross up your marks to 100%of the paper you would have passed. Or to achieve 50 marks out of 70 you have to achieve a percentage of 50/70 =71%

    Therefore, you need to practise on producing your answers more quickly.

    Thank you sir for the advise, but an other question arises here, that how can i write or produce answers more quickly when the cases and scenarios are too lengthy to read, understand , plan and then to produce answers, AND i have never heard from anyone UP TILL now that they have attempted 100% paper in Optional level. kindly sir advise on this too, I will be Grateful to you.
    Warm Regards.
