Open Tuition Study Materials - CIMA P1

Hi Jovand, I passed P1 a couple of weeks ago. I found studying for this exam extremely difficult and it took me longer than expected. To ensure I had prepared as best as I could, I watched the OpenTuition lectures, purchased the Kaplan study text and exam kit and also purchased CIMA Aptitude Two. I actually found the exam was much more theory-based than the mock exams and practice questions. If you're passing the mock exams, you're more than likely going to pass P1 - just make sure you're comfortable with all areas of the syllabus and don't rush into sitting the exam. Hope this helps. Thanks, Kyle

Thank you Kyle for the feedback and advise - appreciated

I passed P1 on my second attempt. The second OT was more theory than calculations compared to the 1st OT wrote. My greatest key to passing was managing my time better. I started with all questions I could answer quickly and left those I thought were challenging and needed more time. I then came back tackled those that I left but still was not able to complete all. All the best.
