    Hi,

    Sorry to hear about your P3 difficulties. Assuming you have studied the new areas of the syllabus that were added in June 2011 (lots of F5 material and more on projects) your difficulty must be with exam technique and the way you answer questions rather than lack of knowledge. My advice is:

    1 If you can, attend at least one question based revision day. I don’t know where you live and realise that might not be possible. However, if it is you would do questions that are marked and returned with feedback on the day.

    2 On the OT P3 site, look at the P3 Revision Questions where we work through several case studies.

    3 Make sure you look at the last 6 exams and the examiner’s answers. In particular see how the answers make use to the information in the question. Very few answers are simply theoretical; nearly all are application of theory to the scenarios.
