    Hello Sir,

    This will be my fourth time sitting for the P5 exam. Could you please advise on revision and how to prepare for this exam to pass. I don’t know how else to prepare for this exam.

    Please advice.

    Thanks

    Sorry to hear about your APM problems.

    You almost certainly know the theory by now so the problem must be your approach to questions. A mix of:

    Not properly addressing the requirements
    Describing theories rather than applying them
    Not responding to the information in the question
    Not writing enough (aim for about 1.5 pages per 10 marks)
    Poor time managememt so that,you do not have time to attempt each part of each question.

    Practice questions under exam conditions (proper timing and no lookingmat the answer). Then critically appraise your answers to understand where your attempts are materially different to the model answer.

    If possible, try to attend a revision course that specialises in question practice.
