    I sat for P2 twice and results of the two sittings were 45% and 47%.

    I used both Open tuition notes and BPP since I am studying alone. Please can you help, coz i need to do past exam questions and have them marked, so that i know where i am going wrong. Does open tuition have such a program?.

    Hi, no, we don’t have that service – sorry. Have you tackled any past exam questions in your previous two attempts? I imagine that you have. Ok, may I presume that your numerical skills are up to standard? The reason I ask is that I can so easily see a student who suffers from repeated failure being weak in the “wordy” sections of the P2 paper. If I’m right, try attempting these wordy questions. Plan an answer and try to make sure that you have planned the same number of markable points as there are marks in the (various parts of the) question.

    See how that goes and let me know in, say, 4 weeks’ time.

    I would suggest read examiners comments and try to find out what examiner expects and what you perform!!

    failing in 40s, it shows lake of sensible and conceptual practice of past exam questions!

    Try Kaplan kit this time, read technical articles and most important thing.. practice practice but not blind practice!

    Good Luck this time..

    Regards
