    Hi guys,

    I am coming off studying my first professional paper (P6), and almost immediately noticed that the P1 paper assesses a lot more theories, and thus more written.

    As a result, what would you guys suggest would be the optimum plan for studying for P1? For P6, I obtained the main textbook & revision kit, and that seemed sufficient. However, with P1 I am considering utilising the online OT lectures per topic, make notes, then read the textbook on the particular chapter to add to my existing knowledge.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I like your approach – making own notes is always a good thing.
    OpenTuition provides notes to it’s video lecture – maybe use them?
    And own notes make from study textbook as it is bulky.

    Making and using mnemonics for P1 is also a common technique used by students.

    In the end it all comes down to practicing past papers under time constraint.

    I would like to know from @seagot.

    I am going for p1 in march 2016. I will be able to start from next week and will have like 30 to 40 days to do it.

    What is best approach you would suggest based on this limited time? I have passed f8 after studying 2 weeks before the exams due to an issue that didn’t let me study enough. I had f7 with it and I have done that in the last session.

    I am more comfortable with theoretical exams so I guess I may be able to do it. I have f9 with p1 in march. If you could advice how to approach f9, it would be highly appreciated.

    may be OT lectures and notes along with bpp’s kit.? Will that be fine? or is it best to go through bpp’s or kaplan’s study and text along with kit? that may take longer but I have heard going through study text often gets boring and you have to read through unnecessary stuff that would have otherwise saved time for doing past exams.
