    Hi John,

    First of all, thank you very much for your help. I studied F9 using your lecture and I got 63 in last June exam,

    I am in dilemma about which optional papers to take. whether to take P7 or P4 for the Dec exam. I enjoyed your F9 class very much, but I am not great in calculation, I do spent a lot of time to learn them. I heard P4 is a lot harder than F9, Is it possible to learn P4 now for the Dec exam and I work full time. how much study hours you would recommend for the subject?

    Many thanks in advance for your advice.

    P4 is certainly a lot harder than F9, and does have a lot of calculations.

    It is impossible to say how many hours – everyone is different. However you should be prepared to spend on average a couple of hours most evenings.
