    Hi,
    Has anyone managed to pass P2 in 4 weeks whilst working full time?
    I’ve done a stupid thing just now; I paid for the P2 exam in this December17 sitting….I was going to take a break and take the exam in March18, but for one mad moment I took the gamble and booked it for December. AM I CRAZY?
    I have heard that it is a beast!
    I did pass my F7 last December.

    I would be so grateful for any advice/tips.
    Thank you 🙂

    Have you taken any p level paper before?

    It is not undoable but you will have to study very hard in the upcoming 4 weeks.

    You are expected to learn plenty of knowledge on the accounting standards.

    Also you need to practice a lot of consolidation questions which you can find in past papers (question 1a, a guaranteed 30/35 marks). You can barely pass if you mess up the consolidation question.

    Both of the above elements are essential for getting a pass in P2.

    Hi James,

    Thank you for your comments. At least you did not say impossible.
    I passed P1 last June and just passed P3 last September.
    I guess I had better get on with it. Maybe I’ll gather enough knowledge to get 50%.
    Did you pass P2 first time?

    if you have already passed some p papers before, you should know how much knowledge you need to gather in order to have a guaranteed 50%.

    Try to go through as many accounting standards as possible before start reading / practicing pass papers – it may be hard to identify the accounting issues in the questions if you don’t have the brief concepts of the standards.

    Good luck to you mate. I passed all my p papers first time.

    Thank you. I will need all the luck in the world. Just realised I had booked the UK version instead of international.

    Now I will need a miracle:)

    Respect for passing all your P papers first time, what an achievement!
