Hey guys i have not seen anyone comment on the article on student magazine for April-12. I am sure it is not a coincidence that the article is about PESTEL and Potter’s 5 forces.

I hate project management. there are so many concepts, and I’m not familiar with what actually happens in a project team so i have no choice but to cram this part of knowlege into my head! it’s terrible!!!
What’s the point of “tips” if between all the tips from different colleges, they cover the entire syllabus? The same thing applies in tips for all others all papers’. Better to list topics that are probably not going to be asked, or the least important ones, or list topics in order of their importance.

Use the Exam Tips below as important areas to cover but remember that no one knows what can come in your P3 June 2012 ACCA Exams, apart from Steve Skidmore (P3 examiner for June 2012 ACCA Exams). Your safest bet is to achieve good syllabus coverage in your revision, as the examiner usually does in recent diets of P3 Business Analysis Exams.
