    I am thinking of giving P1 and P3 coming September session. Its my third attempt in P3 (very ashamed ) whereas its first attempt for P1. I have completed P3 text book but not started P1 yet.
    Do you think its good decision to attempt both P1 and P3 in one sitting?
    I am also involved in an audit firm; so i have ten to five job. What do you suggest?

    Hello my freind….. according to me one subject require 160 to 200 hours in total. Considering you situation you qork 10 to 5. That is 8 hours plus your travelling time and other commitment.. find out how muchh time left for your study… my advise to you is just prepare p3 in systematic way and take p1 in december. Instead of looking at your attempt try past paper under time conditioned and find out where you getting wrong and improve those mistakes make you pass paper..
    counting from tomorrow you have only 45 days left..lets say you study every day 3 hours thats total of 135 hours.. i think it is not enough..you need to study atleast 5 hours every day untill exam over… this is my hours calculation.. and i am below average student.. trust me it works for me and i am getting very good marks in each paper…. i dont know what suits youbest… hope this would help.. good luck
