    P1 would be a better choice. I say this is because P1 is relatively easy compared to P3. Although, you would need to use updated tuition and study manuals. The P1 syllabus has changed a bit since 2010. It’s now called governance,risk and ethics. P3 has also changed (the new P3 syllabus now has assumed knowledge from F5 and F9) so I would recommend that when you have time, you go through the F5 and F9 topics that relate to P3 and then resume your P3 studies. For now, give a boost to yourself. Start P1, you can do it.

    Whoh! 2010, 5 years have gone. I like the spirit you have
